YG series excavator metal shear uses two hydraulic cylinders with a synchronization mechanism to provide strong cutting force and stable operation. Models are available for excavators from 5 to 50 tons, with working pressure from 235 to 320 bar and bottom shear force from 81.2 T to 387.2 T.
The attachment is designed for scrap metal recycling, steel structure cutting, vehicle dismantling and demolition work.
For applications, you can also explore our [Hydraulic Shear Attachment For Excavator sold to Mexico] to see how excavator attachments are used in actual dismantling operations.
Excavator Metal Shear: Is One Cylinder Enough for Heavy Scrap?
Do you need stronger engagement when cutting steel frames, vehicle beams and other heavy metal sections?
The dual-cylinder configuration uses two hydraulic cylinders with a synchronization mechanism. This design provides strong shearing force while maintaining a practical attachment weight.
The YG series covers different excavator classes:
| Model | Weight | Applied Excavator Weight |
| YG-620 | 620 kg | 5-9 T |
| YG-1413 | 1413 kg | 10-19 T |
| YG-2200 | 2200 kg | 20-25 T |
| YG-2977 | 2977 kg | 28-35 T |
| YG-4052 | 4052 kg | 38-50 T |
If you are comparing hydraulic shears for excavator for sale, excavator operating weight should be the first factor when selecting the appropriate model.

Hydraulic Shears for Excavator for Sale: Do You Need a Larger Opening?
Do you often need to position the attachment around wide steel sections, vehicle frames or bulky scrap?
The YG series provides a large maximum opening across the model range. The maximum opening reaches 801 mm on the YG-4052, while effective shear depth reaches 736 mm.
| Model | Max. Open Size | Effective Shear Depth |
| YG-620 | 334.4 mm | 286 mm |
| YG-1413 | 540 mm | 348 mm |
| YG-2200 | 500 mm | 486 mm |
| YG-2977 | 660 mm | 578 mm |
| YG-4052 | 801 mm | 736 mm |
A large opening helps the operator position the shear around different metal sections before cutting. This makes the attachment suitable for scrap processing, steel structure work and vehicle dismantling.

Excavator Shear for Sale: Do You Need Stable Rotation?
Do you need to adjust the cutting direction without repeatedly repositioning the excavator?
The excavator metal shear is available with different rotation configurations. The product range includes 360-degree collision rotation and 360-degree hydraulic rotation.
The hydraulic rotation configuration generally requires hydraulic piping on the excavator. When rotation is not required, the attachment can also be installed on a crane or directly on the excavator boom according to the application.
For underwater applications, corrosion protection can be evaluated according to the working environment. Ceramic coating can be considered for specific areas where additional protection is required.

Excavator Demolition Shear: Are the Cylinder and Blades Ready for Repeated Cutting?
Do you need components designed for repeated metal cutting rather than occasional light work?
The hydraulic cylinders use honed tubes and imported oil seals. This configuration supports short working cycles and long service life.
The blades use imported wear-resistant alloy steel. The blade material provides resistance to high temperature and deformation during demanding cutting operations.
The standard dual-cylinder shear configuration generally uses four blades. Blade configuration can be confirmed according to the selected model and application.
The motor uses a Finland-imported Black Bear motor with a braking function and full-angle rotation capability. It is designed for stable operation during attachment rotation.

Excavator Metal Shear: Can the Cutting Force Match Your Excavator?
Do you need to know the actual shear force instead of relying only on the attachment name?
The YG series provides three shear-force reference points: bottom shear force, medium shear force and tip shear force.
| Model | Bottom Shear Force | Medium Shear Force | Tip Shear Force |
| YG-620 | 81.2 T | 50.2 T | 32.2 T |
| YG-1413 | 138.2 T | 80.2 T | 53.2 T |
| YG-2200 | 171.2 T | 100.2 T | 75.2 T |
| YG-2977 | 330.2 T | 189.2 T | 127.2 T |
| YG-4052 | 387.2 T | 218.2 T | 147.2 T |
Working pressure ranges from 235 bar on the YG-620 to 320 bar on the larger models. The YG-4052 reaches a maximum listed bottom shear force of 387.2 T.
These specifications allow operators to compare cutting force across different models before selecting an attachment for scrap steel, rebar or demolition applications.
