Thumb Grab for Mini Digger 150 Attachment on Avant Mini Loader

Option Thumb Grab for Mini Digger 150

The Avant Hydraulic Thumb Grab is available as an option for the Avant Mini Digger 150 attachment, on an Avant mini loader. It can be mounted on Avant Mini Digger 150 attachments made from 2021, and can also be retrofitted to older Avant Mini Digger 150 attachments by drilling holes for thumb grab cylinder brackets to the digger arm. The Avant Hydraulic Thumb Grab is useful when handling stones and similar objects which cannot be grabbed with the bucket of the mini digger.

The Avant Hydraulic Thumb Grab and mini digger bucket cannot be operated simultaneously – there is an electric solenoid valve for selecting either the thumb grab or bucket operation. Selection happens either with a switch on the optional Opticontrol® control switch pack (recommended) or with the switch on the electric wire which is delivered with the thumb grab and connected on the 12V outlet on the dashboard of the loader. The thumb grab and bucket movements are then controlled with the auxiliary hydraulics control lever or with the red and blue buttons on the joystick (if fitted on the Avant mini loader).

Avant mini loaders and attachments are manufactured in Finland by Avant Tecno and distributed in Australia by Avant Equipment
