The R135 Hydraulic Thumb is a versatile material-handling attachment engineered to expand the capabilities of RIPPA R135 excavators. Designed to work alongside standard buckets, the hydraulic thumb allows operators to clamp and secure irregular materials such as rocks, logs, branches, and construction debris — turning the excavator into a powerful handling tool.
Unlike mechanical thumbs, hydraulic thumbs provide adjustable gripping force directly from the operator’s controls, allowing more precise positioning and improved productivity during lifting, sorting, and loading tasks. This makes them ideal for demolition work, land clearing, landscaping, and general construction applications.
RIPPA attachments are built with a strong performance-to-value focus and supported by a global parts and service network, helping ensure long-term reliability and consistent job-site performance.
