What "120 Series" Means: A size class, not a specific model — it refers to the thumb built for this mid-class excavator weight range. Match your machine by operating weight, not model name.
Construction: Heavy-duty, all-steel components
Design: Pin-on thumb for simplified operation — ideal for machines without auxiliary hydraulic plumbing; no hydraulic hookup required
Application: Adds manual gripping and material control for lifting, demolition, brush and log handling, and loading tasks; the thumb is set to a fixed position and works opposite the bucket to hold material
Origin: Made in USA
Manufacturer: PVE Products
Shipping: LTL Truck Freight
Common Use Case or Symptoms: Add when your work requires gripping and handling material a bucket alone can't hold — land clearing, brush and log handling, demolition sorting, and rock placement — on a machine that is not plumbed for a hydraulic thumb. The pin-on manual design lets you add grip capability without adding auxiliary hydraulics.
