How to Improve Hydraulic Thumb Performance


When operators of excavators use various attachments to best tackle construction or demolition applications, conventional auxiliary hydraulics power the best tool for the job.  When using a hydraulic thumb, however, the mechanics of the attachment can create problems with typical hydraulic plumbing options.  The hydraulic thumb is unique in the way it moves and poses a risk to snap auxiliary lines when plumbed with conventional straight hydraulic hoses and couplers.

Stucchi Offers Hydraulic Thumb Plumbing Solutions

 Stucchi is an experienced hydraulic thumb quick coupler supplier excelling in providing customized hydraulic solutions to meet operational demands. We developed a unique solution to the problems existing with plumbing hydraulic thumb attachments on excavators. Hydraulic thumbs run the risk of snapping lines which can cause serious safety issues to workers as well as contaminating the environment.  This creates extra clean-up efforts and expenses along with replacing damaged equipment.

 The Stucchi solution consists of using a 45° hydraulic adapter to keep hydraulic hoses out of harm’s way.  This simple solution provides operational efficiencies and improvements to excavator operations.  Check out this case study to learn more about our hydraulic thumb plumbing solutions.  Many demolition contractors deal with the fall out of plumbing problems with the hydraulic thumb without realizing that a better solution exists.

 By incorporating the Stucchi solution with a 45° hydraulic adapter and the heavy-duty VEPHDL threaded coupling, excavator operators can rest assured that the hydraulic thumb will operate safely and effectively.  This customized hydraulic solution provides many benefits such as:

 

       Preventing contamination to the environment and costly clean-up efforts

       Preventing snapped auxiliary hydraulic lines and costly equipment repair. 

       Preventing injury to operators from leaking pressurized hydraulic fluid

 

Stucchi provides hydraulic solutions which improve operational performance.  Our excavator auxiliary hydraulic couplers increase efficiency in demolition applications.  Contact us to learn more about our high-performance, custom hydraulic solutions.
