The Double Cylinder Hydraulic Shear is a powerful industrial tool designed for cutting heavy-duty materials such as steel beams, concrete, and reinforced structures. Unlike single-cylinder models, it features two synchronized hydraulic cylinders, delivering stronger and more balanced cutting force. This makes it highly efficient in demanding demolition, recycling, and construction environments.
The dual-cylinder structure provides added stability and speed, ensuring a clean and controlled cutting process with minimal deformation or vibration. Whether used in demolition sites or scrap yards, this tool is engineered for performance and endurance. WhatsApp/WeChat/Phone: 86 138 3715 9132

Features of the Double Cylinder Hydraulic Shear
The double-cylinder hydraulic shear comes with a variety of well-engineered features that make it suitable for harsh working conditions:
- Dual Hydraulic Cylinders for maximum shearing force and smoother motion.
- 360-Degree Rotation System for flexible cutting angles and easy positioning.
- Wear-Resistant Blades are crafted from hardened steel for long service life.
- Heavy-Duty Frame Design is built to withstand impact and stress.
- Modular Construction allows easy maintenance and blade replacement.
Applications of the Double Cylinder Slewing Hydraulic Shear
- Demolition of Steel Structures: Ideal for cutting I-beams, pipelines, and rebars in urban and industrial demolition projects.
- Scrap Metal Recycling: Used for processing scrap iron, steel, and non-ferrous metals into manageable pieces.
- Bridge and Shipbreaking Yards: Effective in disassembling large, thick structural components.
- Construction Waste Management: Helps in reducing the size and volume of concrete and steel waste for transport and reuse.
- Mining and Quarrying: Can assist in breaking apart tough structural components or machinery parts.


How Double-Cylinder Shears Work
The operational mechanism of the double-cylinder hydraulic shear is based on synchronized hydraulic pressure. Here’s how it functions:
- Hydraulic Power Source: An excavator’s hydraulic system or a separate hydraulic system powers the unit.
- Dual Cylinder Actuation: Hydraulic fluid flows into both cylinders simultaneously, moving the jaws inward with balanced pressure.
- Blade Contact: The hardened blades engage the material, applying massive shear force.
- Continuous Rotation: Many models offer 360-degree head rotation, allowing operators to reposition without moving the machine.
- Material Separation: The jaws slice through steel, concrete, or mixed materials cleanly and quickly.
This design minimizes stress on the frame and increases the cutting capacity while ensuring operator safety.
Advantages of Using a Double-Cylinder Hydraulic Shear
- Higher Cutting Force: Dual cylinders offer superior force distribution compared to single-cylinder designs.
- Precision and Control: Better balance reduces erratic motion and ensures cleaner cuts.
- Faster Work Cycles: Simultaneous jaw action speeds up cutting time, increasing overall productivity.
- Durability: Designed to endure extreme use and exposure to abrasive materials.
- Lower Maintenance Costs: With reduced vibration and component strain, you can minimize wear and tear.
This makes it a top choice for professional contractors and recycling operators who need consistent, high-performance tools.
