How to Measure Catch Length for Your Hydraulic Thumb

MEASURING THE CATCH LENGTH FOR YOUR HYDRAULIC THUMB - Main Image

Ready to add a hydraulic thumb to your setup? Before ordering, you'll need to confirm that our standard catch lengths suit your machine. If not, we can customise - it only takes a moment to check.

What is Catch Length?

The catch length is the distance the thumb travels to meet your bucket. It needs to match your machine geometry for effective gripping and material handling.

How to Measure

With your bucket curled in, measure from the thumb mounting point to where you want the thumb tips to meet the bucket edge. Compare this to our standard specifications, or send us your measurement and we'll confirm fitment.

Custom Lengths Available

Because every attachment is purpose-built on demand, extending or shortening the catch length is easy. Just let us know your requirements when you order.
