Excavator thumb upgrade

When an excavator thumb is bent, cracked, worn out, or damaged beyond repair, replacing it correctly is critical to keeping the machine productive and preventing future failures.

For this project, we removed the damaged thumb assembly, prepared the stick for installation, reinforced the mounting area, and welded on a new thumb. Proper fit-up, alignment, and welding procedures were used to ensure the thumb operates smoothly and can withstand the demanding conditions of everyday excavation, demolition, land clearing, and material handling work.

Equipment like this running in the Foristell area and around St. Charles County takes a beating. Gravel yards, site work, land clearing - it adds up fast. Getting the attachment points right means fewer breakdowns mid-job and a machine that actually performs the way it's supposed to.

At Workman Mobile Welding, we specialize in heavy equipment repairs and attachment installations. Whether it's a cracked boom, bucket repair, thumb installation, cutting edge replacement, or structural welding repair, we bring the shop to your jobsite and get your equipment back to work.
