Demolition shear

Designed to be mounted at the end of an excavator’s arm, the demolition shear is powered by the excavator’s hydraulic system, which drives the scissor jaws. The jaws are high-strength steel and can cut a wide range of materials, including steel, iron, aluminum, and even rebar in reinforced concrete. With the ability to easily cut through hard materials, these tools have become a must-have in several industries. Contact us for the latest product information!

Application Scenarios of Hydraulic Shears for Excavators

1. Demolition works. In building demolition operations, the crushing shear can quickly and safely dismantle steel structures. For example, when demolishing an old factory building with a steel frame, the crushing shears can cut the steel components into small pieces that are easy to handle. Whether it is cutting beams, columns, or other structural components, the crushing shears can improve the demolition efficiency.
2. Recycling and scrap metal processing. In recycling yards, crushing shears are used to process scrap metal. Whether it is cutting old car bodies or large metal sheets, it can easily cut large pieces of metal into smaller pieces. This facilitates transportation and further processing, improves the efficiency of the recycling process, and helps to recover valuable metals more efficiently.
3. Disaster relief and rescue operations. Crushing shears can be used to clear debris at rescue sites after natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods. It can cut damaged building structures, such as collapsed houses and bridges, to open up access for rescue teams. In traffic accident rescue, it can also be used to free trapped people by cutting the metal parts of damaged vehicles.

Advantages of Excavator Hydraulic Shear

1. Powerful cutting ability. Demolition shears can generate extremely high cutting forces, capable of cutting through thick and hard materials. Easily handle tasks that are difficult for other tools to handle. The powerful hydraulic system ensures that the jaws can close with tremendous pressure, quickly attacking the toughest materials.
2. Versatility. Crushing shears apply to a wide range of scenarios. Whether it’s demolition, recycling, or rescue work, the same set of shears can be adapted to different tasks by simply changing the attachments or adjusting the operation.
3. Efficient. With fast cutting speeds and the ability to be operated safely from the excavator’s cab, shears can significantly increase project productivity. They complete tasks in a fraction of the time it takes to complete them manually, reducing labor costs and shortening project cycle times.

YG Demolition Shears Sold to Chile

YG Crushing shears have successfully entered the Chilean market and are widely used in building demolition, structural renovation, and scrap steel recycling. With excellent performance and durable quality, they have earned general recognition from local construction companies and recycling firms.

In downtown Santiago, Chile’s capital, a high-rise demolition project used the YG-4052 (self-weight 4052kg, max opening 801mm, bottom shear force 387.2t, suitable for 38–50 ton excavators). Facing concrete columns filled with thick rebar and heavy steel beams, the shear, equipped with a 360° hydraulic rotation device, could adjust its angle with ease. The operator remained precise and efficient even in the tight urban site; the 147.2t tip shear force made cutting rebar and structural steel effortless – no extra gas cutting crew was needed. A single machine handled everything from dismantling to primary crushing, shortening the project schedule by nearly three weeks.

At a large scrap recycling yard in Valparaíso, the YG-2200 (self-weight 2200kg, max opening 500mm, bottom shear force 171.2t, suitable for 20–25 ton excavators) became the main tool for processing scrap rebar and mixed metal waste. With an effective cutting depth of 486mm, it could bite into bundled rebar and cut it cleanly in one go. The yard manager did the math: before using this shear, daily processing was about 15 tons; now it consistently exceeds 40 tons per day – more than double the output. The operator commented, “This shear works at high intensity every day, and it still cuts as sharp as the day we got it.”

For smaller urban renewal projects, the YG-620 (self-weight 620kg, max opening 334.4mm, bottom shear force 81.2t, suitable for 5–9 ton excavators) is very popular – compact and flexible enough to navigate narrow alleys in old city districts. Whether demolishing part of an old structure or cutting rebar and light steel frames, it handles the job with ease.

From high-rise demolition to scrap steel recycling, the YG excavator hydraulic shear proves its value with real-world performance data. Excellent cutting force, stable rotation control, and lasting durability keep Chilean customers coming back for more – quality and reputation are the best market credentials.
