The Q43L-6300 Heavy-Duty Gantry Shear is an industrial-grade cutting machine designed for large-scale, high-efficiency processing of heavy scrap metal. Its iconic "gantry" structure provides an enormous press box and exceptional structural stability, capable of handling and shearing large scrap steel components, end-of-life vehicle bodies, bales of plate, and various irregular heavy scrap. With a formidable shearing force of 1600 tons, this machine is the core asset for large scrap recycling yards, ELV (End-of-Life Vehicle) dismantling plants, shipbreaking yards, and metal processing enterprises seeking to achieve economies of scale and enhance profitability.

Q1: What is the main difference between a Gantry Shear and a standard Alligator Shear?
A1: The primary differences lie in the structure, feeding method, and processing efficiency. The Gantry Shear has an open gantry frame with a huge press box, allowing direct feeding of large items by forklift. The material is compacted by a top hold-down cylinder before shearing, enabling large-volume processing per cycle and high efficiency. Alligator Shears have a smaller, crocodile-jaw-like opening, are better suited for small to medium-sized scrap, often require manual or auxiliary feeding, and have limited capacity per cycle.
Q2: What are the installation requirements for this machine?
A2: Due to its immense weight and size, a strong reinforced concrete foundation is mandatory. The foundation's depth and strength must be constructed according to our detailed drawings. A high-capacity three-phase industrial power supply and a reliable hydraulic oil cooling system (e.g., a cooling tower) are also required.
Q3: What is the blade life, and is replacement complicated?
A3: The blades are manufactured from special alloy steel and undergo deep heat treatment for extreme wear and impact resistance, ensuring a long service life. They are designed as removable units. When the cutting edge wears, replacement is facilitated using standard workshop lifting equipment, making maintenance relatively straightforward.
Q4: Can the press box size be customized?
A4: Yes. We can customize the length, width, and height of the press box based on the specific types and sizes of materials you most frequently process, aiming to maximize your production efficiency.
