Mechanical Thumb for Backhoe

Gentec Equipment

Find the best mechanical thumb for your excavator to accomplish all your material handling and excavating jobs better and faster.

When you need to get the job done, but you also work with a tighter budget, a mechanical thumb will be the best attachment to put on your backhoe. Having a mechanical thumb attached to your backhoe improves its polyvalence and will help it pick up, grasp, dig, and move any material like soil, rocks, trucks, and concrete without any difficulty. Since both the bucket and the thumb rotate on the same axis, the thumb tip and bucket teeth maintain a constant grip on the load when rotating.

Gentec Equipment’s mechanical thumbs have two to four fingers that are built with 1” and 2” high-strength steel plate. Also, they are equipped with serrated edges, are double welded for added reinforcement, and fully gusseted for improved strength.
