LANDYINDUS Hydraulic Excavator Thumb | High-Strength Alloy Steel | Up to 126° Grab Angle | 16 MPa | 60 LPM | 1–9T Mini Excavator | Rocks, Stumps, Demolition & Land Clearing | ME-HTB / E-HTB Series

SKU: ME-HTB1

LANDYINDUS Hydraulic Excavator Thumb | High-Strength Alloy Steel | Up to 126° Grab Angle | 16 MPa | 60 LPM | 1–9T Mini Excavator | Converts Standard Bucket into Grappling Tool | ME-HTB1, ME-HTB3 & E-HTB5

The LANDYINDUS Hydraulic Excavator Thumb is purpose-built for 1–9 ton mini excavator operators who need to convert their standard excavator bucket into a powerful, versatile grappling tool — ready to handle rocks, broken concrete, tree stumps, branches, demolition debris, and irregular salvage that a bucket alone cannot manage.

Bucket + Hydraulic Thumb = Grapple — Handle Materials a Bucket Alone Cannot

A standard excavator bucket can dig, scoop, and push — but it cannot grip, hold, and precisely place irregular materials. The hydraulic thumb closes against the bucket to create a clamping jaw action, giving the operator full control over:

  • Jagged rocks and broken concrete — grip and place precisely without scattering
  • Tree stumps and root balls — clamp and extract or relocate intact
  • Demolition debris — sort, grip, and load irregular pieces
  • Branches and timber — handle without rolling or slipping
  • Irregular salvage — grip and position materials of any shape

Up to 126° Grab Angle — Maximum Versatility Across Material Shapes, Sizes and Terrain

The wide grab angle of up to 126° (E-HTB5) provides maximum versatility when handling materials of varying shapes, sizes, and weights across different terrain conditions. A wider grab angle means the thumb can open further from the bucket, allowing the operator to position the thumb over larger or more irregularly shaped materials before closing the grip.

Model Grab Angle Excavator Class Weight (kg)
ME-HTB1 121° 1–2T 22
ME-HTB3 124° 2.5–3.5T 42
E-HTB5 126° 5–9T 72

Hydraulic Thumb vs Fixed (Mechanical) Thumb — Hydraulic Control vs Manual Positioning

Feature Fixed / Mechanical Thumb LANDYINDUS Hydraulic Thumb (This)
Thumb positioning Manual — pin-set positions only Hydraulic — infinite positions, cab-controlled
Grip adjustment Stop machine, exit cab, repin Continuous adjustment from cab
Clamping force Fixed — depends on pin position Variable — full hydraulic force on demand
Material handling speed Slow — manual repositioning Fast — continuous cab-operated control
Operator safety Exit cab to reposition Fully cab-operated — no ground exposure
Best for Light occasional use, budget High-cycle, mixed materials, productivity

16 MPa | 60 LPM — Seamless Integration with Standard Mini Excavator Hydraulics

The hydraulic thumb operates at 16 MPa with a hydraulic flow requirement of 60 LPM, ensuring smooth and responsive performance that integrates seamlessly with most standard excavator hydraulic systems. The 60 LPM flow requirement is within the standard auxiliary hydraulic output range of most 1–9T mini excavators — verify your machine’s auxiliary hydraulic output before ordering.

High-Strength Alloy Steel — Precision Welding, Weld-On Bracket, Long Service Life

Fabricated from high-strength alloy steel with precision welding throughout, the E-HTB series delivers outstanding resistance to wear, impact, and corrosion — reducing downtime and keeping long-term maintenance costs low. The robust weld-on bracket design ensures a secure, stable fit that holds up under continuous heavy-duty use.
