Q43-1600 Hydraulic Crocodile Shear for Ferrous Scrap Size Reduction

The Q43-1600 hydraulic crocodile shear is designed for ferrous scrap size reduction, workshop metal cutting, and recycling yard operations. With 1600 kN hydraulic shearing force, durable blade construction, and repeat-cycle hydraulic operation, this machine is suitable for processing steel offcuts, scrap bars, metal profiles, and recyclable ferrous materials into manageable sizes for storage, transportation, and downstream recycling.

1. Product Description

The Q43-1600 hydraulic crocodile shear is designed for recycling companies, steel processing workshops, and scrap collection facilities that require reliable ferrous scrap size reduction equipment.

Large scrap materials often create challenges during storage, loading, transportation, and furnace preparation. The Q43-1600 helps solve these issues by cutting oversized materials into shorter sections that are easier to handle and process.

Compared with large gantry shears and baler shears, crocodile shears provide a compact cutting solution for facilities that require repeated manual feeding and continuous daily cutting operations without complex material handling systems.

The machine adopts a hydraulic shearing structure that combines stable cutting force with relatively simple operation, making it suitable for medium-scale scrap processing applications.
