This excavator thumb suffered a broken finger, leaving the attachment unable to perform as intended and risking additional damage if continued in service.
After evaluating the break, the damaged section was removed and prepared for repair. A replacement finger was fitted, aligned, and welded into place to restore the attachment's structural integrity and functionality. Care was taken to ensure proper fit-up and penetration so the repair could withstand the demanding conditions excavator attachments face every day.
