Thumb Attachments
Are you looking for a custom thumb attachment for your excavator?
At ShawX, we design and manufacture custom excavator thumb attachments to suit your specific needs. Perfect for general earthworks, our custom thumbs are usually used in conjunction with a bucket to provide better control when needed – making the pickup of difficult materials easier than ever. The hydraulic thumbs can be mounted on a single base plate, with the thumbs welded near the end of the dipper to circumvent any location issues. We design our custom thumb attachments to fold up against the dipper when not in use, allowing for the standard machine bucket to be used
All of our custom hydraulic excavator thumb attachments are designed and manufactured right here in Australia. Our workshop is located just south of Brisbane in Queensland. Contact us today to get started with a custom thumb attachment to suit your needs.

Custom Excavator Thumb Attachments
Our custom-made excavator thumb attachments are ideal for general earthworks. The hydraulic thumbs can be mounted on a single base plate and are welded near the end of the dipper to circumvent any location issues.
The thumb should be used in conjunction with the bucket to assist with the pickup of difficult materials. The thumb attachment can also be folded up against the dipper when not required, allowing for the standard machine bucket to be used.
Manual Excavator Rock Grabs
Our heavy-duty manual rock grabs can be used for all works. The 5-fingered box type grab is made with 450-grade finger ends and greaseable bronze bushed centre pin for a longer life. The tight meshing finger design makes these grabs fast and controllable. The nimble design makes them user friendly while maintaining strength for a longer lasting grab. Manual rock grabs are also available in our X-series range for added strength.
Hydraulic Excavator Rock Grabs
Hydraulic rock grabs are versatile, able to be used for all works and very handy for demolition. Fabricated with a heavy-duty 5-finger box type, twin ram design with 450-grade lower fingers, the grab is fully greaseable and bronze bushed for longevity. Tight meshing fingers make these grabs very controllable when picking up the smallest materials, yet tough enough for the largest of jobs.
