A hydraulic demolition shear is an excavator attachment designed to cut steel structures, scrap metal, rebar, and other metal materials. It uses hydraulic power to deliver strong cutting force, making demolition and recycling work more efficient. With different models available for 5 to 50 ton excavators, YG provides solutions for various project requirements. Whether you operate a scrap yard, demolition company, or metal recycling facility, our hydraulic shears can help improve material processing efficiency.

How Does Hydraulic Demolition Shear Work?
A hydraulic demolition shear uses the excavator’s hydraulic system to generate cutting force. Hydraulic oil drives the cylinder, moving the cutting blade toward the fixed blade to cut steel, rebar, and other suitable metal materials.
During operation, the operator controls the shear from the excavator cab. For models equipped with 360-degree rotation, the attachment can turn to adjust the cutting angle, making it easier to reach materials in different positions. The cut metal can then be separated into smaller pieces for easier handling and recycling.
YG Metal Shear Excavator Series Parameters
YG offers five models of hydraulic demolition shears for different excavator sizes and cutting requirements. The following table shows their main specifications to help buyers compare available options.
| Parameter | YG-620 | YG-1413 | YG-2200 | YG-2977 | YG-4052 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weight (kg) | 620 | 1,413 | 2,200 | 2,977 | 4,052 |
| Max. Open Size (mm) | 334.4 | 540 | 500 | 660 | 801 |
| Width (mm) | 864 | 1,175 | 1,370 | 1,600 | 1,700 |
| Height (mm) | 1,521 | 2,050 | 2,380 | 2,600 | 2,700 |
| Effective Shear Depth (mm) | 286 | 348 | 486 | 578 | 736 |
| Rotating Way | 360° collision | 360° hydraulic | 360° hydraulic | 360° hydraulic | 360° hydraulic |
| Working Pressure (bar) | 235 | 300 | 320 | 320 | 320 |
| Bottom Shear Force (T) | 81.2 | 138.2 | 171.2 | 330.2 | 387.2 |
| Medium Shear Force (T) | 50.2 | 80.2 | 100.2 | 189.2 | 218.2 |
| Tip Shear Force (T) | 32.2 | 53.2 | 75.2 | 127.2 | 147.2 |
| Applied Excavator Weight (T) | 5–9 | 10–19 | 20–25 | 28–35 | 38–50 |
The shear force varies across the blade. Bottom shear force is generally higher than the force at the middle or tip. This difference matters when cutting metal sections of different sizes and shapes.
When comparing models, consider the maximum opening size, effective shear depth, and the material you need to process. These specifications help determine whether the attachment suits your actual working conditions.

Applications of an Excavator Scrap Shear
An excavator scrap shear is used in several industries where metal cutting and dismantling are required. The right application depends on the material dimensions, steel grade, and attachment capacity.
Scrap Metal Recycling
Scrap yards handle mixed metal waste, including steel bars, metal profiles, and structural components. A hydraulic shear cuts suitable materials into smaller pieces, making sorting, handling, and transportation easier.
For recycling facilities processing different metal sizes, selecting an appropriate opening size and cutting force can help maintain steady production.
Building and Steel Structure Demolition
During building demolition, steel beams, reinforcing bars, and other metal components may need to be separated from the structure. A hydraulic demolition shear can cut suitable steel components during dismantling.
Compared with manual cutting in suitable applications, excavator-mounted shearing allows operators to work from the machine and handle materials with greater reach. Actual productivity depends on site access, material thickness, and working conditions.
Vehicle Dismantling and Metal Processing
Vehicle dismantling facilities need to separate metal components before further processing. A metal shear can cut suitable body sections and structural parts into manageable sizes.
For thicker or reinforced components, check the material dimensions and required cutting force before choosing a model. Not every vehicle component can be cut safely with the same attachment.

Why Choose YG Hydraulic Demolition Shears?
Choosing an attachment from a manufacturer involves more than comparing prices. Buyers also need clear specifications, suitable machine compatibility, and practical support before placing an order.
Five Models for Different Excavator Sizes
YG provides five models covering excavators from 5 to 50 tons. The range gives buyers options for smaller recycling operations, medium-sized demolition projects, and heavier metal processing work.
The available models also differ in weight, opening size, effective shear depth, and cutting force. Buyers can compare these figures to identify a suitable product for their applications.
Multiple Cutting Force Options
YG hydraulic shears provide different cutting force ratings at the blade bottom, middle, and tip. These values help buyers understand the attachment’s cutting characteristics.
When requesting a quotation, provide details about the material type, approximate thickness, and expected workload. This information helps the sales team discuss a suitable model instead of recommending equipment based only on excavator tonnage.
Support for International Buyers
For overseas purchasing, clear specifications are important when checking compatibility with existing equipment. Buyers should confirm hydraulic pressure, oil flow, mounting dimensions, and rotation requirements before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hydraulic Demolition Shears
1. What size excavator is required for a hydraulic demolition shear?
YG models cover excavators from 5 to 50 tons. The YG-620 is listed for 5–9 ton excavators, while the YG-4052 is listed for 38–50 ton machines. Always confirm hydraulic specifications and attachment compatibility before purchase.
2. What materials can an excavator scrap shear cut?
It can cut suitable scrap steel, rebar, metal profiles, and selected steel structural components. Cutting performance depends on material thickness, shape, strength, and the shear’s capacity. Confirm your actual materials with the manufacturer.
3. What do bottom, medium, and tip shear force mean?
These values describe cutting force at different positions along the blade. The bottom generally provides the highest force, while the tip provides less. The correct cutting position depends on the material size and shape.
4. Do all YG hydraulic demolition shears support 360-degree rotation?
The supplied specifications list 360-degree rotation for all five models, but the rotation method differs. The YG-620 uses a collision-type rotation designation, while the other four models use hydraulic rotation. Confirm the exact configuration with YG before ordering.
5. How can I get a quotation for a hydraulic demolition shear?
Send YG your excavator make and model, operating weight, hydraulic pressure and flow, intended materials, and destination country. If you have a preferred model, include it in your inquiry. These details help the team provide more relevant pricing and product information.
