Mobile Steel Shears

A Mobile Steel Shear is designed for fitment to an excavator and used for demolishing iron structures, as well as cutting structural steels, pipes, tanks, sheet, and iron cases. Their innovative design, engineering, and materials, allow for huge cutting forces, while still reaching acceptable weights for mobile use. Mobile Steel Shears can be installed on a variety of carriers; everything from smaller excavators up to massive high reach machines. Many Steel Shears also offer 360-degree rotation, allowing the operation to position the shear in the optimum position for cutting. They can also generally be placed in either the bucket position, or directly onto the excavators arm itself, depending on application.

Steel Shears

There are also units designed to work as either a concrete pulveriser, steel shear, or both. These multi-combination units often also allow for different types of head/blades to be fitted, allowing one tool, to perform the role of several. These units are used in a variety of applications, normally dictated by the head or “kit” fitted.

A great example would be the MC Range, by OSA demolition, which are able to be used in all manner of concrete and steel cutting, as well as concrete pulverising/crushing.
