Hydraulic Gantry Shear

The Hydraulic Gantry Shear is a heavy-duty shearing machine designed to cut steel plates, copper plates, nickel plates, and other medium-thickness metal materials. With shearing forces ranging from 100 to 250 tons, it handles materials sized (12–20 mm) × 250 mm, delivering a cutting frequency of 3–5 strokes per minute.

Thanks to its hydraulic-driven system, this gantry shear offers multiple advantages over mechanical shears — such as smaller footprint, lower inertia, quieter operation, and more precise control. It is widely used in scrap yards, metal recycling centers, and processing plants that deal with bundled or heavy sheet scrap.

Working Principle of Hydraulic Gantry Shear

1. Scrap Feeding: Metal sheets, plates, or bundled scrap are loaded into the chamber via grab or loader.
2. Shearing: A hydraulic cylinder drives the upper blade down to cut against the fixed lower blade in single or continuous mode.
3. Discharge: Cut materials slide out from the front, ready for collection or transport.
4. Control System: PLC-based hydraulic-electric control enables mode switching, pause at any point, and overload protection.

Features of Hydraulic Gantry Shear

• Strong Shearing Capacity: Delivers 100–250 tons of cutting force, ideal for cutting 12–20mm thick metal plates with ease.
• Compact & Stable Hydraulic Drive: Compared to mechanical shears, it features a smaller size, low inertia, and quieter, smoother operation.
• Flexible Operation: Equipped with a hydraulic-electric control system that supports single or continuous modes and allows operation to pause or stop at any point with overload protection.
• High Efficiency: Performs 3–5 cuts per minute, making it highly efficient for medium-volume metal processing.
• Durable Construction: Built with Hardox wear-resistant liners and robust cutting blades to ensure long-lasting durability under heavy-duty use.
• User-Friendly: Easy to install and operate, requiring minimal training and low maintenance for daily operations.
