Recently, WANSHIDA completed the production and delivery preparation of one 1250 ton hydraulic gantry shear for a scrap metal recycling project in Qatar. The equipment will be used to process heavy steel scrap, HMS scrap, steel plates, rebar, steel pipes, profiles, and mixed metal waste from construction, demolition, and industrial recycling activities.

Qatar has a growing demand for efficient scrap metal processing equipment due to continuous infrastructure development, steel consumption, and the need for better recycling efficiency. For many local recycling yards, oversized scrap metal is difficult to store, transport, and feed directly into steel mills. Traditional flame cutting requires more labor and time, and it is not always suitable for large-volume daily operation. Therefore, the customer needed a heavy-duty hydraulic gantry shear to improve processing capacity, reduce manual cutting work, and prepare scrap into more regular sizes.

After understanding the customer’s material type, working site conditions, and expected production capacity, our engineering team recommended a 1250 ton hydraulic gantry shear. This model is suitable for large recycling yards and steel mill scrap preparation lines. With strong shearing force, a reinforced gantry frame, a hydraulic pressing system, and PLC control, the machine can handle heavy scrap materials with stable performance.

For this Qatar project, the equipment was configured with a heavy-duty hydraulic system and a strong machine structure to support continuous scrap cutting work. Considering the hot climate in the Middle East, the cooling system and hydraulic configuration were also carefully selected to help the machine maintain stable operation under high-temperature working conditions.

Project Background

The customer is a local scrap recycling company in Qatar, mainly handling heavy steel scrap from construction sites, demolition projects, and industrial workshops. Before purchasing the gantry shear, the customer faced several common problems:

Large-size scrap occupied too much yard space

Manual cutting efficiency was low

Heavy scrap was difficult to load and transport

Steel mills required more regular scrap sizes

Labor cost and cutting time continued to increase

To solve these issues, the customer wanted a powerful machine that could cut bulky metal scrap into shorter and more uniform pieces, making the scrap easier to store, load, transport, and recycle.

Our Solution

WANSHIDA provided a 1250 ton hydraulic gantry shear solution based on the customer’s application. The machine is designed for heavy-duty scrap metal processing and is suitable for materials such as steel plates, rebar, steel pipes, profiles, HMS scrap, and mixed steel scrap.

The hydraulic pressing system holds the material firmly before cutting, which improves shearing stability and cutting efficiency. The PLC control system allows easier operation and more consistent performance. The reinforced gantry structure provides strong support during high-pressure cutting, making the machine suitable for long-term industrial use.

Project Value

The 1250 ton hydraulic gantry shear will help the Qatar customer improve scrap processing efficiency and reduce dependence on manual flame cutting. By cutting heavy scrap into more regular sizes, the customer can make better use of yard space, improve loading efficiency, and provide steel mills with more suitable furnace-ready scrap.

This project also shows the growing demand for heavy-duty scrap metal recycling equipment in the Middle East. For countries such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain, hydraulic gantry shears are becoming an important solution for large-scale scrap processing, especially in construction waste recycling, steel scrap preparation, and industrial metal recovery.

Project Summary

The successful export of this 1250 ton hydraulic gantry shear to Qatar reflects WANSHIDA’s ability to provide reliable and customized scrap recycling solutions for Middle Eastern customers. With strong shearing force, stable hydraulic performance, and a practical configuration for heavy scrap processing, the equipment will support the customer in building a more efficient and professional recycling operation.
