Overview

Cat® Pro Plus Thumbs are the ideal add-on to bring a new level of versatility to your Cat machines. Each one is designed for your excavator and bucket combination, so you can take on bigger, bulkier loads without compromising fuel efficiency. We built them to handle more, tough materials to fit your daily needs.

  • 100% Rotation Coverage

    • Match the bucket’s rotation 100% with load control at all operating limits and positions
    • Keep precise control your load with an added 60-70 degrees of rotation coverage over Pro Thumbs
    • Complete below-grade, vertical, or tasks in confined areas with ease. Building high rock walls and loading high-sided trucks are examples of when load control at height is critical.
    • Increase the productivity of your machine from digging to material handling
