What is a Hydraulic Shear?

For Primary Demolition & Steel Cutting

A hydraulic shear is a powerful excavator attachment designed for primary demolition and heavy-duty steel cutting. Commonly referred to as scrap shears, these high-performance tools are widely used on demolition sites to cut structural steel, beams, pipes and reinforced materials quickly and efficiently.

Hydraulic shears are essential for controlled dismantling, site clearance and metal processing operations across the demolition and recycling industries.

Exceptional Cutting Power & Productivity

Built for strength and durability, hydraulic shears deliver:

• Enormous cutting force for structural steel
• Rapid cycle times for maximum efficiency
• Clean, precise cuts
• High productivity in demanding environments

With the ability to cut through tonnes of steel in seconds, excavator-mounted scrap shears significantly reduce manual handling and increase on-site safety.

Advanced hydraulic systems ensure optimal power distribution, allowing the shear to maintain consistent performance even under extreme loads.
