Demolition Shear Application
Double-cylinder metal shear for excavators is mainly used for dismantling scrap cars, steel demolition of plants H and I, ship breaking, shearing steel, steel, tanks, pipes, and other scrap steel. Excavator hydraulic shear is small in size light in weight and fast in speed, it is also suitable for shearing bulk waste profiles, demolition waste, scrap steel frames, tower crane frames, scrap cars, etc. The wide range of application scenarios of excavator twin cylinder demolition shears supplied by YG has gained the support of many customers!

Metal Shear Excavator Structure
The structure of the excavator double-cylinder metal shear for excavator is well-designed and powerful. Its main components include double cylinder system, synchronization mechanism, scissor plate, blades aluminum alloy shell, and so on. The twin-cylinder hydraulic design allows the metal shear excavator to provide both shearing and propulsion forces during the shearing process.
Excavator Hydraulic Shears Working Principle
Excavator double cylinder hydraulic shears control the hydraulic system through the excavator operating handle. This enables the opening and closing of the shears. The twin cylinders and synchronization mechanism ensure that the two working arms operate in sync, allowing the metal shear for excavator to maintain a strong shearing force while remaining lightweight.
Main Features of Hydraulic Demolition Shears
1. Easy to work, no damage to the excavator, low noise, and other characteristics. Hydraulic shear is divided into fixed, mechanical rotary, 360-degree hydraulic automatic rotation, according to the different needs of customers, and different types of rotary hydraulic shear.
2. The machine shear opening size is large. Therefore metal shear for excavator is suitable for scrap automobile vehicles or steel structure scrap steel shear removal.
3. Hydraulic shear is a double motor configuration. It can guarantee that the product can still be safe when tearing and sudden impact.
4. Double-cylinder hydraulic demolition shears have an optimized synchronization mechanism. Can make the two working arm cylinders in the work of better-synchronized movement. This can improve work efficiency and work capacity.
5. 360-degree hydraulic rotation makes it easy to position the equipment for construction work. The sturdy double rails ensure strength and improve the safety of use.
6. It has interchangeable blades for four-sided use for easy maintenance and reduced maintenance costs.

How to Match Hydraulic Demolition Shears Based on Excavator Tonnage
- Core Matching Standard: The primary factor for model selection is the operating tonnage of the excavator. You must make sure the applicable tonnage range of hydraulic demolition shears strictly matches the actual tonnage of the main machine to prevent overload or insufficient power.
- Model and Tonnage Matching List: YG-620 → Fits 5–9 ton excavators; YG-1413 → Fits 10–19 ton excavators; YG-2200 → Fits 20–25 ton excavators; YG-2977 → Fits 28–35 ton excavators; YG-4052 → Fits 38–50 ton excavators
- Required Matching Working Pressure: Every model needs the excavator’s hydraulic system to supply working pressure between 235 and 320 bar. Medium and large tonnage models (YG-2200 and above) all require 320 bar high-pressure input to keep the shear jaw running smoothly.
- Difference in Shearing Force Levels: Larger models deliver far stronger shearing force. For reference, the maximum bottom shearing force rises from 81.2 T on YG620 up to 387.2 T on YG4052, suiting various working scenarios from light scrap steel to thick plate structures.
- General Model Selection Tips: In real use, first pick the matching model by your excavator’s tonnage, then check if the main machine’s hydraulic pressure meets the rated value of this model. Only when both requirements are met can you guarantee equipment safety, stable cutting efficiency, and long service life of cylinders.
