Q43-6000 Hydraulic Alligator Shear with 6000 kN Shearing Force, 1600 mm Blade Length, and 860 mm Blade Opening for Heavy Scrap Processing
The Q43-6000 Hydraulic Alligator Shear is an ultra-heavy-duty cutting solution developed for extreme steel scrap processing in large recycling yards, steel fabrication plants, and industrial scrap preparation facilities.
With a 6000 kN shearing force, an extended 1600 mm blade length, and an exceptionally wide 860 mm blade opening, this model is engineered to cut very large-section steel materials that exceed the practical working range of conventional alligator shears.
The Q43-6000 is designed as the final and most powerful alligator shear model, offering near-gantry-shear cutting capability while maintaining the operational simplicity and flexibility of an open shear structure.
| Model | Shearing Force (KN) | Blade Length (mm) | Max Opening (mm) | Max Cutting Material | Power (kW) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q43-6000 | 6000 | 1600 | 860 | Ø120 Round Steel / 105*105 Square Steel | 45*2 |
Structural Design & Cutting System
Ultra-Reinforced Alligator Shear Frame
The machine frame is heavily reinforced to withstand extreme cutting loads generated by oversized steel sections.
Extra-Long Blade Configuration
The 1600 mm blade provides maximum cutting width, allowing efficient handling of large and long scrap pieces.
High-Output Dual-Motor Hydraulic System
Twin 45 kW motors deliver sustained hydraulic pressure for continuous ultra-heavy cutting tasks.
Extra-Wide Opening Design
The 860 mm blade opening significantly reduces material preparation and feeding difficulty for bulky scrap.
Performance & Output Characteristics
Extreme Section Cutting Capability
Capable of cutting round steel up to Ø120 mm and square steel up to 105 × 105 mm with controlled and stable operation.
High-Torque, Low-Shock Cutting
Optimized for cutting very thick steel with reduced mechanical stress and blade wear.
Maximum Productivity with Minimal Pre-Cutting
Large opening and long blade reduce the need for upstream cutting or sizing.
Applications
The Q43-6000 Hydraulic Alligator Shear is ideal for:
-
Oversized structural steel scrap
-
Heavy square and round steel bars
-
Thick steel profiles and fabricated frames
-
Scrap preparation before melting or further heavy processing
It is particularly suitable for operations that regularly process extremely thick or bulky steel materials, but do not require enclosed cutting or continuous bulk feeding.
Material Suitability & Limitation
Suitable Materials
-
Very large-section steel bars and profiles within rated limits
-
Prepared heavy scrap metal
-
Carbon steel and structural steel
Not Recommended For
-
Loose mixed scrap with irregular shapes
-
Continuous high-volume bulk scrap lines
-
Scrap requiring compaction rather than cutting
