The Q43W-4000 Container Scrap Shear is a box-type hydraulic cutting system designed for processing loose, bulky, and mixed scrap metal that cannot be efficiently handled by alligator shears.

Unlike open-structure alligator shears that focus on sectional steel, the Q43W-4000 utilizes a container-style compression and cutting chamber, allowing operators to load large volumes of scrap, compress them inside the chamber, and then perform controlled cutting.

With a 4000 kN cutting force, 1400 mm blade length, and a 1400 * 450 mm discharge opening, this model is well suited for medium-to-heavy recycling yards transitioning from sectional cutting to volume-based scrap processing.

The enclosed container structure allows large quantities of loose scrap to be loaded directly, reducing the need for pre-cutting or sorting.

Scrap is compressed inside the chamber before cutting, improving cutting efficiency and reducing blade shock.

The 1400 mm blade enables wide-area cutting of compressed scrap bundles.

The air cooling system maintains oil temperature stability during standard-duty continuous operation.

Designed for loose and irregular scrap rather than thick solid sections.

Compression before cutting improves cut consistency and reduces blade wear.

The 1400 * 450 mm discharge mouth ensures manageable scrap size for downstream handling.

The Q43W-4000 Container Scrap Shear is ideal for:

• Loose mixed scrap metal
• Light to medium steel scrap
• Sheet metal, frames, and profiles
• Pre-processing before baling, shredding, or melting

It is especially suitable for recycling yards upgrading from open shears to enclosed, volume-oriented cutting systems.

• Loose and mixed steel scrap
• Thin to medium steel sections
• Irregular and bulky scrap

• Very thick round or square steel bars
• Extremely large sectional steel (better handled by alligator or gantry shears)

• Q43-5000 / Q43-6000 → Sectional steel, open cutting
• Q43W-4000 → Entry-level container shear for bulk scrap (this model)
• Q43W-5000 / Q43W-6300 → Higher-capacity container shears
• Q43L series → Gantry shears for large-scale industrial scrap processing
