Description
The NM Attachments Class 2 Hydraulic Weld-On Excavator Thumb is a heavy-duty material-handling attachment designed for excavators weighing 3,000–6,000 lb, or approximately 1.5–3 tons. Model 2HWO-2T features two AR-400 tines and hydraulic operation, giving operators added control when gripping, sorting, moving, and positioning materials. Its weld-on excavator-arm mounting method provides a permanent attachment solution for suitable machines and is well suited to land clearing, demolition, and general material-handling work.
Product Overview
The NM Attachments 2HWO-2T hydraulic weld-on excavator thumb is built to complement the excavator bucket during tasks that require controlled gripping. The two-tine configuration works with the bucket to help secure materials that may otherwise shift or fall during handling. Hydraulic operation allows the thumb to be controlled as an active part of the excavator attachment system, supporting more precise material placement and handling.
With AR-400 tine construction, this thumb is specified for demanding applications where durable tine material is important. The weld-on design attaches directly to the excavator arm, making it suitable for installations where a dedicated, machine-mounted thumb is preferred. Applications include handling brush and debris during land clearing, sorting materials on demolition sites, and moving irregular or bulky items that are difficult to manage with a bucket alone.
Key Features
- Hydraulic weld-on excavator thumb for controlled material handling
- Two-tine configuration for gripping and securing materials
- AR-400 tine construction
- Weld-on mounting method for attachment to the excavator arm
- Designed for excavators weighing 3,000–6,000 lb
- Compatible with excavators approximately 1.5–3 tons in size
- Suitable for material handling, gripping, sorting, land clearing, and demolition applications
Applications
The two-tine hydraulic design helps expand the working capabilities of a compatible excavator. Use the thumb for gripping and moving materials such as brush, timber, demolition debris, and other irregular loads. It can also assist with sorting materials and clearing work areas where improved control over loose or bulky items is required.
Because this is a weld-on attachment, installation is intended for a suitable excavator arm and should be completed with attention to the machine and attachment configuration. Confirm that the excavator is within the specified operating-weight range and that the mounting location and hydraulic installation are suitable before use.
