Benefits & Features

Increase the Productivity of Your Machine

    • Two static working positions at 90° and 105°
    • Closed face design holds fine materials better, provides better retention when working in loose material, and prevents material from packing in the frame.
    • Expanded machine compatibility range due to a lighter design
    • Increase the productivity with periodic use where a bucket or rake alone would fall short

More Versatility, More Work Done

    • Works with bucket or rake to grab, pick, sort, and move materials
    • Stiff Link Thumbs are universal to across range of bucket sizes, making them easier to pair to buckets in a mixed fleet
    • Get the best thumb for your tasks. With three tine configurations, select the best option for a wide or narrow grip, shorter center times for straddling the boom during transport.
    • Managing multiple attachments for a fleet is easier with a coupler system. Select thumb models are compatible with Cat Pin Grabber Couplers, allowing for machines of similar sizes to share thumbs and other attachments.

Simple to Operate

    • Patented alignment system allows for one person to easily deploy or store the thumb
    • Folds against machine boom for easy storage during travel or other activities
    • Simple installation, maintenance, and overall operation make thumbs a simpler, more affordable owning and operating choice than grapples
