An excavator shear is a heavy-duty attachment designed to cut through steel, rebar, and other tough materials in demolition and recycling projects. Mounted on excavators of different tonnages, it transforms your machine into a powerful cutting tool that can replace traditional manual methods. With high cutting force and durable structure, it is widely used in scrap yards, building demolition, and metal recycling plants.
When paired with an excavator, the excavator shear attachment becomes a multifunctional cutting machine. Operators can rotate, position, and cut with high precision, minimizing manual labor. Different excavator tonnages can be equipped with different sizes of shears, allowing flexibility in small-scale and large-scale projects. For example, a 20-ton excavator with a hydraulic shear can handle building demolition, while a 35-ton excavator with a heavy-duty shear is more suitable for industrial steel cutting. Sometimes, depending on the situation, it is also convenient to use an excavator with a eagle shear.
In 2024, a recycling company in Germany purchased a set of hydraulic shears for excavator from YG Machinery. The client used the shear to process scrap steel beams from old factories. The results were impressive: cutting efficiency increased by 40%, labor costs dropped significantly, and the durability of the shear reduced downtime during operations. The client later expanded their order with two more excavator metal shears, proving the reliability of our products in long-term use.
An excavator shear is more than just an attachment—it’s a solution to boost productivity and safety in demolition and recycling industries.
