Heavy Duty Hydraulic Scrap Shear Machine

Overview
High-tonnage hydraulic shear built for thick structural sections, plate offcuts and dense mixed scrap that lighter shears can't handle.
The Heavy Duty Hydraulic Scrap Shear Machine steps up cylinder bore and frame mass over our standard alligator shear to take on thicker structural beams, heavy plate, and dense mixed scrap without losing blade alignment cycle after cycle.
A reinforced fabricated frame absorbs the higher shock loading that comes with heavier sections, keeping the machine stable through continuous multi-shift use.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to what buyers most often ask before ordering this machine.
It uses larger-bore cylinders and a reinforced frame to handle thicker structural sections and denser scrap loads than our standard alligator shear.
Related applications
Industries
- Steel and Re-rolling MillsMills need a predictable charge: scrap cut to length or baled to a size the furnace and logistics can handle, on a duty cycle that matches the melt shop.
- Scrap Metal RecyclingYards juggle mixed grades, truck turnaround, and mill specifications. Loose scrap wastes space and freight.
- Automotive and Auto DismantlingEnd-of-life vehicles and body-shop offcuts are bulky. Heavy drivetrain parts and sheet need different processing.
