The hydraulic shear for excavator attachment is an indispensable metal-cutting device in modern construction. The metal shear for excavator is a hydraulically powered, double-edged blade that cuts through rebar, steel beams, and even scrap vehicles with scissor-like precision. It is mounted directly on the front of the excavator and requires no additional power source, so the operator can do everything from the cab.

Why choose hydraulic shears for excavator attachments?
- Efficient operation: Compared with the traditional manual cutting or other mechanical cutting methods, the excavator hydraulic shear is installed on the excavator, powered by the excavator, and operated flexibly. Driver control in the cab can quickly locate and cut the target, greatly improving work efficiency. For example, in the scrap metal recycling plant, the hydraulic shear is used to deal with end-of-life automobiles and scrap steel, and the speed is much faster than manual labor.
- Powerful shearing force: It is designed for shearing metal and can produce a huge bite. Whether it is light and thin iron or thick steel beams, it can be easily sheared. In building demolition projects, when demolishing steel buildings, hydraulic shears can quickly cut off steel beams and speed up the demolition process.
- Wide range of applications: Excellent performance in many fields. In urban demolition, demolition of metal structure buildings; in the scrap metal recycling industry, dealing with end-of-life vehicles, scrap steel; in rescue and relief, quickly cut through the deformed metal to rescue trapped people.
The working principle of hydraulic shear for an excavator’s appliance
Hydraulic shear work is based on the principle of the hydraulic system. The excavator’s hydraulic pump will be hydraulic oil pressurization, through the pipeline to the hydraulic shear cylinder. When the hydraulic oil into the cylinder, the piston moves, the piston drives the shear arm open and closed. Just like we use scissors to cut paper, hydraulic oil pressure as our finger force; the greater the pressure, the stronger the shear arm strength, which can cut harder metal. Moreover, the cutting edge of the hydraulic scissors has been specially designed to be sharp and wear-resistant, so that it can play a better role in cutting.
Practical Application Examples
- Building demolition project in Australia: In the renovation of an old commercial area in a city in Australia, the construction team was faced with a large amount of steel structure building demolition work. They used excavators equipped with hydraulic shears for excavators. The hydraulic shears quickly cut through the steel girders, breaking up the large structure into smaller pieces for subsequent cleanup and transportation. The project, which was expected to take several months to complete, was able to move forward efficiently with the hydraulic shears, which greatly reduced the duration of the work and minimized labor and safety risks.
- Scrap metal recycling in Canada: A large scrap metal recycling company in Canada has to deal with a large number of end-of-life automobiles and industrial scrap metal every day. They use an excavator hydraulic shear, which moves flexibly while the hydraulic shear accurately grabs and cuts the metal. Through the hydraulic shear’s efficient processing, it is more convenient to classify and recycle the scrap metal, improve the utilization rate of resources, and bring considerable economic benefits to the company.
