Rock Grab / Thumb Bucket

Rock Grab / Thumb Bucket for hire to suit 1.7T to 13.5T Diggers

Needing to move branches or building debris around? Hire a rock grab bucket / thumb bucket, which suits 1.7-ton to 14-ton excavators/diggers. Also known as a clamp bucket, it is essentially a digging bucket with a fitted hydraulic thumb.

Capable of running at full system pressure of the digger, it allows for a very strong grip. The powerful hydraulic cylinder fitted to these heavy-duty thumb buckets provides a greater clamping force, allowing the operator to work easier and safer with very large items.
Benefits
• Efficiently moves branches and building debris.
• Provides a strong grip for handling large items.
• Enhances safety and ease of operation for bulky and awkward items.

Connecting the thumb bucket to the digger
• The thumb bucket hitch connects to the hitch of the digger.
• The two hydraulic hoses have ½ inch quick release couplings (QRC) that simply connect to the QRC’s on the digger boom.

Features
• Fits 1.7T to 13.5T diggers.
• Hydraulic thumb for strong grip.
• Capable of running at full system pressure.
• Durable construction for heavy-duty use.

Specs
• Excavator Suitability: 1.7T to 13.5T
• Hydraulic System: Can be used at full system hydraulic pressure of the digger
• Material: High-strength steel
• Clamping Force: Enhanced by powerful hydraulic cylinder

Available Accessories
• Often pairs well with a Class 2 Tip truck and 5T digger and a set of ramps.


Health & Safety
• Ensure the rock grab/thumb bucket is securely attached before use.
• Follow all safety guidelines for operating the digger.
• Regularly inspect the bucket for wear and tear.

Transporting Options
• Can be transported while attached to your digger.
• Suitable for transport on trailers, utes, or truck decks.
