LANDYINDUS E-MPBEC Bolt-On Backhoe Thumb | 5-Position Adjustable | No Welding Required — Bolt On, Reposition, Remove Without Tools | Folds Away When Not in Use | Backhoe & Front Hoe | High-Strength Alloy Steel | 593mm | 22kg

The LANDYINDUS E-MPBEC Bolt-On Backhoe Thumb is the practical, no-weld solution for backhoe and front hoe operators who need reliable gripping and material control without permanent machine modification. Designed to mount directly to the boom frame with a secure bolt-on connection, this mechanical thumb can be installed, repositioned, or removed without welding equipment or specialized tools — making it ideal for rental fleets, owner-operators, and contractors who work across multiple machines or jobsites.

No Welding Required — Bolt On, Reposition, or Remove Without Specialized Tools

The bolt-on design is the defining advantage of the E-MPBEC over weld-on mechanical thumbs and hydraulic thumbs:

• Rental fleets — install and remove between customers without machine modification
• Owner-operators with multiple machines — transfer between machines as needed
• Contractors on multiple job sites — take the thumb with you, no permanent commitment
• Machines without auxiliary hydraulics — no hydraulic plumbing required

5-Position Adjustable Design — Match Thumb Angle to Material Size, Lock Securely

The five-position adjustable design allows operators to select the optimal thumb angle to match the size and shape of the material being handled, then lock it securely in place for confident, controlled gripping. When the thumb is not needed, it folds back cleanly — keeping it out of the work envelope and allowing the bucket to operate normally without interference or obstruction.

⚠️ Critical Sizing Requirement — Measure Your Bucket Before Ordering

Proper sizing is critical for safe and effective operation. Before ordering, measure your bucket from the boom pin to the cutting edge teeth and ensure the thumb length is at least equal to that measurement.

Why this matters: A thumb that is too short for your bucket will be overpowered by the bucket’s breakout force, risking damage to both the thumb and the machine. The E-MPBEC3.25IN measures 593mm in length and 140mm in width — verify your bucket measurement matches before purchase to protect your equipment and maintain warranty coverage.
