Moley Hydraulic Magnet Thumb

Turn your enclosed hydraulic claw magnet into a true 3-in-1 tool

The Moley Hydraulic Magnet Thumb is a heavy-duty add-on designed to transform our Fully Enclosed Hydraulic Claw Magnet into a three-purpose material handling solution. Built for demanding rail, demolition, and scrap applications, the Magnet Thumb helps crews recover more material, sort faster, and reduce the need for additional attachments or machines.

One Attachment. Three Ways to Work.

1) Scrape & Pull More Ferrous Material

Integrated teeth let you scrape and rake across the ground to pull in and expose more ferrous material. This improves recovery and helps you load faster—especially in mixed debris, ballast, and scrap piles.

2) Remove Non-Ferrous Debris with the Thumb

The thumb function lets operators pick and remove non-ferrous material such as wood, concrete, and bulky debris that a magnet alone can’t control. That means cleaner loads, better sorting, and less manual handling.

3) Run as a Standalone Magnet

When you want pure magnet performance, use the tool as a standalone magnet for fast, efficient ferrous pickup.

Simple Hydraulic Integration & Familiar Controls

The Magnet Thumb requires a separate hydraulic supply line for thumb operation. Control is intuitive and operator-friendly:

  • Operates using joystick buttons on the machine or auxiliary/accessory buttons
  • Functions like a rotation circuit, so operators don’t have to learn a new control style
  • Designed for smooth, responsive thumb positioning and material placement

Replace the Grapple. Eliminate the Extra Machine.

By combining scraping, sorting, and magnet pickup in one attachment, the Moley Magnet Thumb helps you:

  • Reduce attachment change-outs
  • Avoid using a grapple for non-ferrous handling in many applications
  • Eliminate the need for a second machine dedicated to sorting/cleanup
  • Boost productivity while reducing jobsite complexity

This is the kind of all-in-one tool that keeps crews moving and material flowing.
