Built-Tough

Introducing the HT824 Hydraulic Weld-On Thumb, built-tough for contractors, homeowners, and landscapers who demand reliability and durability. Our 8″x24″ thumb is designed for machines between 4,000lbs and 9,000lbs and weighs just 107lbs. Constructed from 1/2″ thick AR400 steel tines in a ladder frame construction with gussets, it’s designed for increased strength and long-lasting durability. Trust in the HT824’s double-sealed welded cylinder, ensuring increased reliability for years to come. Both the cylinder pins and main pin are greaseable, ensuring smooth operation and reduced wear.

Superior Geometry

Experience the superior geometry of the HT824 Hydraulic Weld-On Thumb. With a maximum extension angle of 140 degrees, it outperforms the competition, offering greater versatility and ease of use. When fully retracted, the tines only extend 11″ away from the edge of the excavator stick, ensuring minimal stowed dimensions and preventing interference when digging. The thumb’s geometry is designed to mechanically stop the tine assembly from causing cylinder lock-out when retracted, protecting your equipment and guaranteeing a smooth operation.
