Q43-3150 Hydraulic Alligator Shear with 1200 mm Blade Length and Ø90 mm Cutting Capacity for Heavy Scrap Metal Processing

Q43-3150 Hydraulic Alligator Shear with 1200 mm Blade Length and Ø90 mm Cutting Capacity for Heavy Scrap Metal Processing

Product Overview

The Q43-3150 Hydraulic Alligator Shear is a heavy-duty metal cutting machine designed for processing thick and high-strength scrap metal in professional recycling yards, steel service centers, and industrial scrap preparation lines.
Featuring a 1200 mm blade length, a maximum blade opening of 520 mm, and a cutting capacity of up to Ø90 mm round steel, this model is engineered to handle large-section materials with stable and controlled cutting performance.

Compared with medium-tonnage alligator shears, the Q43-3150 focuses on higher cutting strength, larger material cross-sections, and improved durability, making it suitable for demanding, low-speed heavy cutting tasks.

Heavy-Duty Alligator Shear Structure
The reinforced alligator-type frame is designed to withstand extreme cutting loads generated when processing thick steel sections.

Extended Blade Configuration
The 1200 mm blade provides a wider cutting area, reducing repositioning frequency for large scrap pieces.

Dual-Motor Hydraulic Drive
The dual 22 kW motor configuration delivers stable hydraulic power for continuous heavy-duty cutting.

Integrated Water Cooling System
The water cooler maintains oil temperature stability during prolonged high-load operation, extending system life.

High Section Cutting Capability
Designed to cut steel plates and bars up to 80 × 80 mm or Ø90 mm round steel with controlled stroke speed.

Low-Speed, High-Torque Operation
2–3 cuts per minute prioritize cutting force and machine stability over speed, ideal for thick materials.

Stable Thermal Performance
Water cooling ensures consistent performance under continuous heavy cutting conditions.

The Q43-3150 Hydraulic Alligator Shear is suitable for:

• Thick steel bars and profiles

• Structural steel offcuts

• Heavy scrap metal preparation

• Pre-processing before baling or melting

It is especially suitable for operations requiring strong cutting capability rather than high cutting frequency.

Suitable Materials

• Thick steel bars and profiles within rated dimensions

• Prepared heavy scrap metal

• Carbon steel and low-alloy steel scrap

Not Recommended For

• Large uncut steel plates

• Bulky unprepared scrap

• Continuous ultra-large material better handled by container or gantry shears

• Q43-2000 → Medium-heavy daily cutting

• Q43-2500 → Heavy-duty alligator shear

• Q43-3150 → Extra-heavy, thick-section cutting (this model)

• Q43W / Q43L → Container shears / gantry shears for large-scale continuous cutting
