2000kN Hydraulic Alligator Shear with 800mm Blade and 380mm Opening for Scrap Metal Cutting

The Q43-2000 Alligator Shear is designed for small and medium scrap processing businesses that need a practical, durable, and cost-effective cutting solution. Many recycling yards face challenges such as oversized scrap that is difficult to transport, low cutting efficiency, and high labor dependency.

This machine helps solve these problems by delivering stable hydraulic cutting force, consistent performance, and flexible operation modes. It is widely used for processing steel bars, pipes, profiles, and non-ferrous metals into smaller, manageable sizes for transportation or further melting.

With its compact structure and relatively low power requirement, it is especially suitable for workshops with limited space or unstable power supply conditions.
