The hydraulic gantry shear is an essential piece of equipment for scrap metal recycling facilities, steel mills, and dismantling yards. Designed for heavy-duty cutting of long steel sections, beams, plates, and mixed scrap, Shuliy’s gantry shear combines powerful shearing force with robust hydraulic control, ensuring stable, precise, and efficient performance.
Our machines are available in different capacities to suit various production needs, offering cutting forces from 500 tons to 1000 tons, all operating at a maximum hydraulic pressure of 28 MPa. Whether you’re handling light scrap or oversized industrial steel, Shuliy’s hydraulic gantry shear is engineered to deliver consistent results while reducing manual handling time.
Raw Materials & Finished Products of the Gantry Shear
Our scrap metal gantry shear is designed to handle a wide range of ferrous materials, including heavy steel plates, round and square steel bars, steel profiles (H-beam, channel steel, angle steel), scrap vehicle bodies, and construction waste steel. The powerful hydraulic system ensures high cutting force and consistent performance, delivering uniformly cut steel sections, ready-to-melt metal pieces for steelmaking, and optimized scrap sizes for easier transport and smelting.
This versatile hydraulic gantry shear is widely used in scrap metal recycling yards, steel mills and smelting plants, ship dismantling yards, construction and demolition waste processing, and automotive recycling facilities. By streamlining the cutting process, it significantly improves efficiency, reduces manual handling, and maximizes the value of recycled metals.

Technical Parameters of Scrap Metal Shears
Our gantry shear range offers several model options to fit different production requirements:
- Cutting Force: 500-1000 tons
- Clamping Force: 85-344 tons
- Feed Box Size: Up to 8000 mm length*1900 mm width*1200 mm depth
- Hydraulic Pressure: Max 28 MPa
- Cutting Frequency: Adjustable, 3-5 strokes per minute
- Material Compatibility: Round bars, square steel sections, steel plates of significant thickness
The large feed box design accommodates long and irregular scrap, while the adjustable cutting speed offers flexibility for both high-volume and precision cutting needs.
Working Principle of Shuliy Gantry Shear
- Material Feeding: Scrap metal is loaded into the large material box (up to 8000×1900×1200mm) by crane, conveyor, or loader.
- Positioning & Clamping: Hydraulic pressure cylinders (up to 344T) move to firmly press the scrap, preventing material displacement during cutting.
- Blade Descent & Shearing: The main shearing cylinders (500T–1000T) drive the upper blade to descend at high force, cutting the scrap against the fixed lower blade.
- Return Stroke: After each cut, the blade automatically retracts to the starting position for the next operation.
- Continuous Cutting: With an adjustable cutting frequency (3–5 times per minute), the gantry shear can process scrap continuously for high output.
- Discharge of Finished Pieces: Cut metal is pushed or falls into a collection area, ready for transportation or further processing.
