just hallmarks of Paladin Attachments; they’re what make us one of the most trusted
names in the construction industry.
Get a grip with Paladin’s
industry-leading
line of powerful excavator
thumbs, and watch your

confidently pick up most
materials, no matter how

A variety of hydraulic
thumbs, as well as a weldon stiff arm thumbs are
manufactured to make your
job easier.
• Manual weld on – least
rotation, requires the operator
to manually adjust thumb
location, welded to the stick
via a base plate, one size fits
all approach, eliminates the
need for hydraulics, static
working position
• Hydraulic weld on – same
features of the manual, but
incorporates a hydraulic
cylinder for thumb
positioning, increases
production, less rotation and
working range then main pin
and pro link
• Main pin – more rotation,
better relationship with
the rotation of the bucket,
engineered to match the
bucket width and tip radius,
multiple tine options, rotates
on the same pin as the bucket
• Progressive link – superior
range of rotation, user can
pick and place objects further
around the end of the stick,
engineered to bucket and tip
radius, load control through
most of the bucket range of
motion
