Raptor 900 Hydraulic Excavator Thumb - 4-6 Tonne

The 'Raptor' hydraulic excavator thumb grabs are available in a range of sizes, to suit 1 to 25 tonne excavators. They are designed to work in conjunction with standard attachments such as digging buckets, riddle buckets and land rakes and will not impede the normal digging operation of the excavator, as they can be easily folded away when not in use.

The Raptor 900 features a cylinder integrated hydraulic pressure relief valve. This provides the thumb cylinder with protection from excess force and operates without adjusting any pressures on the excavator.

Each 'Raptor' model is derived from the latest American design, featuring a widened lower pivot joint and reinforced pin, which resists against uneven loads that are applied at the tip of the thumb.

You can see the Raptor 900 in action on a JCB 50Z-2, courtesy of the JCB video below:

Every hydraulic thumb undergoes a comprehensive manufacturing and quality control process, with all pivot joints line bored and bushed.

Photos are for illustration purposes only and depict the Raptor 800 model.

We are able to offer an on site fitting service (in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire), for an additional cost. However, installation is relatively straightforward and most thumbs are therefore self installed by the customer. We advise that you refer to the Raptor 900 technical drawing in the photos section in order to ensure a suitable fit to your excavator.

Supplied as complete weld on kit, including the full length mounting plate, cylinder and thumb. Hoses are not included.

If you're fed up of not being able to grip or move awkward material with your bucket, then the Raptor thumb is your perfect companion!
