The Hydraulic Alligator Shear provides a fast, safe, and cost-effective solution for processing long and irregular scrap metal into furnace-ready sizes. Designed for continuous industrial operation, the machine uses a powerful hydraulic system to generate high cutting force, allowing operators to efficiently shear a wide variety of ferrous and non-ferrous materials without heat, sparks, or secondary pollution. Named after its distinctive jaw-like cutting action, the alligator shear delivers precise cold cutting through a hinged blade structure.
The machine is widely used in scrap yards, metal recycling facilities, automobile dismantling plants, foundries, steel mills, and metal processing workshops. It is capable of handling steel bars, reinforcing steel, angle steel, steel pipes, aluminum profiles, copper materials, automotive scrap, and various metal structures that require rapid size reduction before recycling or smelting.
Built with a heavy-duty steel frame and hydraulic drive system, the equipment provides stable performance under demanding working conditions. The hydraulic cylinder delivers powerful and consistent cutting force while maintaining relatively low operating noise and smooth machine operation. Depending on processing requirements, multiple models are available with cutting forces ranging from 63 to 400 tons and blade lengths from 400 mm to 1200 mm.
