This excavator was already plumbed and set up from the factory to run a hydraulic thumb—the missing piece was the thumb itself.
The owner finally found the right thumb to fit the machine, and Emerson Welding put it to work.
We handled the fabrication and welding needed to get the thumb properly mounted and ready to go.
A hydraulic thumb makes a machine like this even more versatile, giving the operator the ability to grab, hold, and position material instead of just digging and moving it.
(And of course, our big red truck was there to make sure we had everything we needed to get the job done!🔥)
