The R22 Hydraulic Thumb is engineered to enhance the versatility of R22-class excavators by providing powerful hydraulic clamping capability for lifting and controlling irregular materials. Designed for demanding construction, landscaping, and demolition environments, this attachment allows operators to securely grab rocks, logs, brush, and debris with improved precision compared to mechanical gripping solutions.
Hydraulic thumbs integrate with the excavator’s hydraulic system, allowing operators to control the thumb directly from the cab. This provides stronger clamping force, smoother operation, and greater flexibility when handling materials that standard digging buckets cannot manage efficiently.
RIPPA equipment is built with a strong performance-to-value philosophy and supported by a global service network. Typical shipping is within two weeks and the product is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
