Hydraulic Eagle Shear

A hydraulic eagle shear is a heavy-duty excavator attachment designed for high-precision cutting of metal structures and scrap materials. It features a distinctive eagle-beak shaped jaw that delivers concentrated cutting force, making it ideal for building demolition, scrap metal processing, rebar cutting and structural steel dismantling. At YG, we manufacture a comprehensive lineup of excavator hydraulic shears covering 9 models from YG180RT to YG980RT, engineered to deliver reliable performance in the toughest working conditions.

Our shears support both arm and boom installation methods, compatible with excavators weighing 10 to 110 tons. Each model is equipped with a 360° continuous rotation system that allows operators to position the jaw at any angle without repositioning the excavator, significantly improving work efficiency and reducing operator fatigue. The high-pressure hydraulic system delivers consistent cutting power, while high-strength alloy steel jaws resist wear and deformation, ensuring long service life even under continuous heavy use.In addition, YG also offers a variety of excavator hydraulic shears.

Applications of the Hydraulic Eagle Shear

• For building demolition and infrastructure projects, it handles the complete dismantling of steel structure factories and bridges. It cleanly cuts through I-beams, steel girders and structural columns, allowing for selective demolition and safe material separation on site.
• In scrap recycling facilities, it streamlines the processing of various metal waste materials. Operators can quickly cut round steel bars, thick steel plates and large scrap pieces into manageable sizes for transportation and further processing, maximizing the value of recycled materials.
• For end-of-life vehicle and ship dismantling operations, it efficiently cuts through vehicle bodies, ship hulls and internal steel structures. Its precision cutting ability allows for the separation of different metal types, improving recycling yields and reducing manual labor requirements.

Dual Installation Options: Arm vs. Boom Mounting

One unique advantage of our shears is their flexible installation design, which allows you to choose between arm mounting and boom mounting based on your specific job requirements. This versatility sets it apart from many standard models that only support a single installation method.

Arm mounting is the most common configuration, attaching the shear to the end of the excavator’s arm. This setup provides maximum reach and precision, making it perfect for selective demolition, rebar cutting and processing scrap in tight spaces. It is ideal for jobs that require accurate positioning and controlled cutting, such as dismantling interior structures or cutting specific sections of steel.

Boom mounting attaches the shear directly to the excavator’s main boom, closer to the machine’s body. This configuration delivers greater cutting force and stability, making it suitable for heavy-duty demolition projects and processing large, bulky scrap materials. It is the preferred choice for tearing down steel structures, cutting thick I-beams and processing heavy industrial scrap.

Key Performance Advantages of YG Hydraulic Eagle Shear

1. Every unit features a full 360-degree continuous rotation system that lets operators adjust the cutting angle on the fly. This flexibility makes it easy to work in tight urban spaces, reach high structural elements and navigate around obstacles without repositioning the entire excavator.
2. Our shears use a dual-cylinder synchronous drive system that delivers concentrated, balanced cutting force across the entire jaw. This design eliminates twisting and ensures clean, efficient cuts through even the thickest materials, including heavy I-beams and solid steel plates.
3. We manufacture all cutting blades from premium special alloy steel, which undergoes rigorous heat treatment to enhance hardness and impact resistance. These blades maintain sharpness longer under heavy use, reducing downtime for blade replacement and extending the overall service life of the attachment.
4. With 9 standard models available, our lineup fits excavators ranging from 10 to 110 tons. This broad compatibility means you can find the perfect match for your existing equipment, regardless of its size or brand.
5. Unlike traditional cutting methods that produce excessive vibration and noise, our shears operate with low vibration levels and reduced sound output. This not only improves operator comfort but also helps you meet strict environmental and workplace safety regulations on job sites.
