Q43-2500 Hydraulic Alligator Scrap Metal Shear with 2500 kN Cutting Force and 1000 mm Blade Length for Heavy Scrap Processing

The Q43-2500 Hydraulic Alligator Scrap Metal Shear is a heavy-duty cutting machine designed for high-strength scrap metal processing in recycling yards, steel service centers, and metal fabrication facilities.
Equipped with a powerful 2500 kN shear force, 1000 mm blade length, and a cutting frequency of 12–20 strokes per minute, this model delivers stable, fast, and precise cutting performance for medium-to-heavy scrap materials.

Compared with lower-tonnage alligator shears, the Q43-2500 offers greater cutting capacity, improved material control, and higher daily throughput, while maintaining a compact and operator-friendly structure.

Reinforced Alligator-Type Frame
The rigid alligator shear structure ensures excellent resistance to deformation under high cutting loads, supporting long-term heavy-duty operation.

Hydraulic Holding System
A dedicated holding cylinder secures the material firmly during cutting, reducing blade impact, improving cut accuracy, and enhancing operational safety.

Extended Blade Configuration
The 1000 mm blade length allows wider material handling and fewer repositioning steps, improving overall cutting efficiency.

High-Force Cutting Capability
With 2500 kN of shear force, the Q43-2500 handles thicker and tougher scrap materials compared with standard alligator shears.

Adjustable Cutting Speed
The 12–20 strokes/minute range enables operators to balance productivity and blade life based on material hardness.

Efficient Power Utilization
A 30 kW motor provides strong and stable cutting performance while keeping energy consumption under control.

The Q43-2500 Hydraulic Alligator Shear is widely used for:

• Heavy steel bars and profiles
• Structural steel offcuts
• Aluminum and non-ferrous scrap
• Prepared scrap for baling or melting

It is particularly suitable for recycling plants requiring higher cutting force without upgrading to container or gantry shears.

Recommended Materials

• Mild steel bars and profiles within rated dimensions
• Aluminum and copper scrap
• Pre-cut and prepared metal scrap

Not Recommended

• Large steel plates and beams
• Unprepared bulky scrap
• Continuous ultra-heavy cutting better suited to container or gantry shears

• Q43-1200 / Q43-1600 → Light to medium-duty cutting
• Q43-2000 → Medium-heavy daily operations
• Q43-2500 → Heavy-duty alligator shear (this model)
• Q43-3150+ → Extra-heavy cutting requirements
