Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Alligator Shear for Steel and Scrap Metal Recycling

Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Alligator Shear for Steel and Scrap Metal Recycling

The Wanshida Q43-2500 Hydraulic Alligator Shear is a high-performance scrap metal cutting machine designed for recycling centers, steel plants, and metal processing facilities. With a shearing force of 2500 kN (250 tons) and a robust 30 kW hydraulic motor, this machine efficiently cuts various types of scrap steel, round bars, and structural metals into manageable lengths for further processing.

Engineered for heavy-duty industrial use, the Q43-2500 alligator shear combines exceptional cutting capacity, energy efficiency, and operational safety. Its 1600 mm blade length and cutting speed of 12–20 strokes per minute allow rapid and precise shearing of both steel plates (up to 70×70 mm) and round bars (up to Ø 80 mm), achieving a production rate of 9.5 tons per hour.
