Powerful and precise metal cutting for scrap yards and recycling facilities

Hydraulic shears are essential scrap metal processing machines designed to cut through steel, aluminium, copper, and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals with ease. Built for durability and performance, these heavy-duty machines deliver clean, efficient cuts while reducing bulk scrap into manageable sizes for transport and resale.

Ideal for scrap yards, metal recycling centres, and industrial operations, hydraulic shears help improve processing efficiency, increase safety, and maximise scrap metal value.

Whether you need alligator shears for light-to-medium materials or larger hydraulic shearing equipment for heavier sections, JMC Recycling supplies reliable solutions to suit your operation.

What are the benefits of using hydraulic shears?

Fast and efficient metal cutting – Cuts steel beams, pipes, bar, rebar, aluminium, and other scrap metal quickly and cleanly.

Increases scrap value – Produces uniform, furnace-ready material that is easier to transport and commands stronger scrap metal prices.

Reduces manual labour – Eliminates the need for oxy-propane cutting, improving site safety and operational efficiency.

Durable and reliable – Heavy-duty hydraulic systems and hardened blades ensure long service life in demanding recycling environments.

Versatile applications – Suitable for structural steel, car parts, fabrication offcuts, demolition scrap, and general yard processing.

Hydraulic Shear FAQs

Do you sell used hydraulic shears?

Yes. JMC Recycling supplies both new and used recycling machinery, including hydraulic shears (all used machines are subject to availability). All used equipment is inspected and serviced to ensure reliable performance, offering a cost-effective solution for scrap metal businesses.

What materials can hydraulic shears cut?

Hydraulic shears can cut a wide range of materials including mild steel, stainless steel scrap, aluminium scrap, copper, rebar, box section, pipes, and structural steel.

What is the difference between hydraulic shears and guillotines?

Hydraulic shears (including alligator shears) are typically used for cutting long or irregular scrap sections in recycling yards, whereas guillotines are more commonly used for sheet metal cutting in fabrication environments.

Do hydraulic shears require maintenance?

Routine maintenance such as blade inspection, hydraulic oil checks, and lubrication ensures consistent cutting performance. JMC Recycling provides servicing support and quality spare parts to keep your machine operating efficiently.
