Alligator Shears | Hydraulic Scrap Metal Cutting Machine

Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Alligator Shears for Scrap Metal Processing
Alligator Shears, also known as crocodile shears, are powerful hydraulic cutting machines used to process various types of scrap metal. These shears get their name from the hinged jaw mechanism that mimics the motion of an alligator’s mouth. Compact, efficient, and cost-effective, they are widely used in scrapyards, recycling facilities, steel plants, and vehicle dismantling operations.
Whether you're cutting scrap rebar, steel pipes, channel steel, or light metal structures, our hydraulic alligator shears offer precision, durability, and low maintenance for small to medium-volume cutting tasks.

    Key Features of Alligator Shears

    Hydraulic Power System: Provides strong and consistent cutting force for clean, fast shearing of various metals.

    Robust Steel Frame: Welded and reinforced to withstand heavy-duty use in industrial environments.

    High-Quality Shear Blades: Made from wear-resistant tool steel for extended blade life and reduced downtime.

    Simple Foot Pedal Control: Enhances safety and operation speed with hands-free actuation.

    Adjustable Cutting Stroke: Customizable based on material size and desired cycle speed.

    Movable or Stationary Options: Mobile wheels or skid-mounted frame available based on usage needs.
