Description
Overview:
This Dumper Gearstick Knob is a direct replacement for Thwaites dumpers with a 3 forward, 1 reverse shift pattern. Built from a hard‐wearing black polymer with a grippy, ergonomic profile, it helps restore positive, accurate gear selection on site. The clearly marked 3F/1R legend supports quick gear identification, even in low light or muddy conditions. Designed for daily use in tough environments, it resists knocks, dirt and oil, and fits onto the existing gear lever without modification. Ideal for maintaining older machines or replacing a worn or damaged knob, it suits a wide range of Thwaites models including MACH 220 and MACH 221. A practical, long‐life solution for construction, plant hire, and groundworks fleets.
