MT618 Gentec Universal Mechanical excavator thumbs, 1500-3900 lbs excavators GENTEC

DESCRIPTION

Built-Tough

Introducing the MT618 Mechanical Weld-On Thumb, a reliable and durable solution for all your material handling needs. This 6″ wide by 18″ long thumb is ideal for machines under 3,900lbs and weighs only 29lbs. Constructed with ½” thick AR400 steel tines assembled in a ladder frame construction and reinforced with gussets, this thumb is built to withstand the test of time. The A-Frame link design further enhances the thumb by increasing torsional rigidity, ensuring that it can handle the toughest of tasks with ease. Additionally, the MT618’s main pin is greaseable to ensure smooth operation and minimize wear.

Superior Geometry

The MT618 features an unparalleled design that sets it apart from the competition. With three adjustable positions at 90, 105, and 120 degrees, you can customize your thumb for the perfect fit and optimal functionality. The 120-degree position offers greater flexibility and reach compared to other brands. When not in use, this compact thumb quickly stows away, taking up only 20″ of vertical room on your excavator stick and extending just 4″ off the stick, ensuring it won’t get in your way when digging. With no loose parts when stowed, you can rest assured that your equipment is secure and ready for use whenever you need it.

MEASUREMENTS

Please follow these instructions when measuring. You want your “stick to tip” measurement to be as close to the thumb tine length as possible. GENTEC’s mounting plates are very narrow so typically there is no problems with the mounting plate (exception is the very smallest class of mini excavator)

INSTALLATION

Please follow these instructions when installing your thumb.
