Product Introduction

Alligator shears (also known as alligator jaw shears or crocodile mouth shears) are hydraulically driven heavy-duty metal shearing equipment. Named for their jaw-like opening and closing mechanism, they are widely used in scrap steel recycling, end-of-life vehicle dismantling, and metallurgical casting industries.

I. Core Applications

- Scrap Metal Recycling: Shearing reinforcing bars, steel pipes, angle steel, I-beams, steel plates, etc.

- End-of-Life Vehicle Dismantling: Models with blades over 700mm are suitable for shearing entire vehicles.

- Metallurgical Furnace Material Processing: Shearing scrap metal into suitable furnace charge.

II. Structure and Principle

- Structure: Frame, fixed lower blade, movable upper blade (alligator jaw), hydraulic system, control system.

- Principle: A hydraulic pump drives a hydraulic cylinder, which, through leverage, causes the upper blade to press down, engaging with the lower blade to shear the metal; pre-pressing and locking are possible, resulting in high shearing force and a smooth cut.

III. Main Parameters

- Blade Length: 400/600/700/800/1000/1200mm, etc.

- Shearing force: 63–400 tons (mainstream), maximum up to 500 tons.

- Drive: Hydraulic (mainstream), some models can be equipped with diesel engines for operation without electricity.

IV. Performance Characteristics

- ✅ Hydraulic drive: Powerful, low noise, smooth operation, overload protection.

- ✅ Easy installation: No anchor bolts required, mobile operation possible.

- ✅ Simple maintenance: Reliable structure, low failure rate, moderate cost.

V. Differences from Gantry Shears

- Alligator shears: Smaller blade, suitable for small to medium-sized scrap metal, flexible and inexpensive.

- Gantry shears: Larger blade, stronger pressure, suitable for heavy plates and large scrap steel.
