Hydraulic Thumb
Unlock enhanced versatility with our Hydraulic Thumb, commonly known as Pin-On / Weld-On Thumb, Mechanical Thumb, Finger Grab.
Available in weld-on & pin-on options, our thumb is also a fully retractable design to ensure a seamless fit, while integrated safety features like relief & balance valves & oversized rams safeguard against high-pressure damage.
Manufactured with high-grade Korean hydraulics, heat-treated carbon steel pins, larger bushes & high quality welds, the thumb can handle the most demanding applications while having an extended lifespan.
Our Hydraulic Thumbs come backed with our comprehensive 5-year warranty and Free Servicing Kit (valued up to $1,925) which comes with a spare seal kit and hoses.
*Pictured model: 12-18T Hydraulic Thumb
Weld-On & Pin-On Options Available: Hydraulic Thumbs are available with both a weld-on base plate & a pin-on system. This allows for compatibility with a wide range of excavators. The weld-on option has a single base plate for welding, meaning there is no need to remove the dipper pin. The pin-on option pivots on the dipper arm pin, following the same curl radius as a bucket.
Universal Design & Fully Retractable: The thumb is fully retractable preventing interference with other non-grabbing operations.
Oversized Ram With Balance & Relief Valves: The thumb is equipped with an oversized ram and integrated relief valves. The oversized ram provides increased gripping force, allowing the thumb to handle heavier and more awkward-shaped materials. This reduces stress on the hydraulic system, extending the lifespan of the thumb.
Manifold Distribution Blocks: Hydraulic hoses are routed into the distribution blocks, then to the grab’s main manifold block. This prevents damage to the main cylinder in case of a snagged hose, facilitating easier maintenance. Relief valves protect the hydraulic system from potential damage, ensuring there is no need for costly repairs.
100% Customisable: Multiple customisation options to choose from. Select from various tynes and catch dimensions to guarantee a perfect fit for any project or task.
Superior Build With High Functionality: Our thumb can absorb extreme strains while generating robust gripping thanks to the oversized ram with relief valves while being fully retractable.
Replaceable Wear Protection & Spares: FREE Servicing Kit (valued up to $1,925) which comes with a spare seal kit and hoses. Extend your attachment's lifespan at no additional cost.

Aussie Buckets were very professional from start to finish with my recent purchase of a Ripper. Great product, price and service.
Craig Drew
I made an initial inquiry to Aussie Buckets from their FB post. One of their sales team got back to me promptly. They were not pushy and quoted me on my inquiry for a bucket to suit my machine. Price was fair and i made the decision to place an order. The process was smooth and great communication along the way. I collected the bucket and was pleased with the way it turned out. Will return to Aussie buckets for any additional needs in the future and also happy to share my recommendations. Thanks to the team at Aussie Buckets. 👍🏼

Slight delays as is expected in the current climate but what was nice to see was the constant communication. Bucket arrived and very happy with the quality.
Chris Matthews
The team at Aussie Buckets went above and beyond to help me decide on buying a Hammer for my 5t excavator. From the numerous phone calls and emails to the warehouse walk through to show me what I would be purchasing. For literally under half the price of the competition for a product that does not disappoint and has a warranty that is in some cases 5x the competition! Thanks guys I will be certainly buying more products from you in the future! Regards, Concise Civil Group

We bought a 1200mm sieve bucket off Aussie buckets for our cat 432F backhoe. The whole team was amazing from the initial enquiries right through to delivery with excellent communication during the whole process. The buckets very solid with great workmanship we couldn't be happier with it. Will 100% buy off Aussie buckets again.
