A hydraulic shear for excavator is a double‑cylinder hydraulic attachment. Two hydraulic cylinders drive the moving jaw in synchronization, generating greater shear force and stronger gripping action than single‑cylinder designs.
Key components:
Double hydraulic cylinders – synchronized drive for maximum force
Four cutting blades – imported wear‑resistant alloy steel, heat‑resistant and deformation‑resistant
360° rotation – full rotation for precise positioning
Finnish Black Bear motor – with brake function, stable performance
Honed tube cylinders – imported oil seals, short cycle time, long service life
The machine is widely used in scrap metal recycling, demolition engineering, and vehicle dismantling.
The hydraulic shear for excavator uses two synchronized hydraulic cylinders. This doubles the cutting force compared to single‑cylinder shears – and keeps the jaw movement stable under load. The result: cleaner cuts, less jamming, and longer blade life.
2. Four Blades – Imported Alloy Steel
The machine uses four cutting blades made from imported wear‑resistant alloy steel. They resist high temperatures and deformation – staying sharp through continuous operation. When blades do wear, they can be rotated or replaced – extending service life.
3. Finnish Black Bear Motor – Reliable Rotation
The 360° rotation system is driven by a Finnish‑imported Black Bear motor with brake function. This machine rotates smoothly and holds position precisely – allowing accurate placement for every cut.
4. Honed Tube Cylinders – Long Service Life
The cylinders use honed tubes and imported oil seals. The hydraulic shear for excavator operates with short cycle times and minimal leakage – reducing maintenance and downtime.
5. Lightweight, High Power
The dual‑cylinder design delivers high shear force with relatively low attachment weight. The machine YG‑620 weighs just 620kg yet delivers 81.2 tons of bottom shear force – suitable for 5‑9 ton mini excavators.
6. 360° Rotation – Precise Positioning
Full 360° rotation lets you approach the material from any angle. The machine positions the blades exactly where needed – no repositioning the excavator. This saves time on every cut.

Who Uses an Excavator Metal Shear?
The machine is designed for cutting and breaking:
1. Steel Structures
I‑beams, H‑beams, angle iron, channel steel, and steel frames – the hydraulic shear for excavator cuts structural steel cleanly, ready for scrap processing or reuse.
2. Vehicle Dismantling
Car bodies, chassis, engine blocks, and truck frames – the excavator demolition shear processes end‑of‑life vehicles quickly. The 801mm opening on the YG‑4052 grips entire car sections.
3. Scrap Metal Recycling
Mixed scrap, rebar, wire, and sheet metal – the machine sizes material for balers, shredders, or direct mill shipment. Clean cuts improve scrap value.
4. Light Steel Structures
Warehouse frames, mezzanine floors, and industrial shelving – the machine disassembles light steel structures with precision.
Stop using torches. Stop grinding. Stop wasting time and money. The hydraulic shear for excavator cuts faster, cleaner, and safer – turning your scrap operation into a high‑efficiency profit center.
