Product Overview
The Q43-200 is a hydraulic alligator shear specifically designed for cold shearing of all common cross-section metal profiles at small and medium-scale scrap recycling sites. Its 800-1000 mm blade accommodates up to 20mm steel plate, while the hold-down cylinder clamps material firmly during each cutting cycle to ensure clean, accurate cuts.
Driven entirely by hydraulics, the Q43-200 is safe, reliable and easy to operate. No foundation bolts are required for installation, and a diesel engine power option is available for sites without grid electricity. Compared with manual cutting methods, the Q43-200 delivers faster throughput, lower labor requirements and improved on-site safety.
This alligator shear is an ideal solution for scrap metal recycling companies, steel mills, foundries, demolition contractors and metal processing plants seeking compact, dependable shearing equipment at an affordable entry point.
Key Features
Hydraulic Drive – Safe, Reliable and Convenient
- Full hydraulic drive provides smooth, controllable cutting force throughout the shearing cycle.
- No foundation bolts required — easy to position and relocate on site.
- Diesel engine power option available for off-grid sites.
Button-Operated Automatic Cutting (One-Person Operation)
- Single-operator control via push-button panel.
- Automatic continuous cutting or manual single-cut mode.
- Foot-pedal control available as an option for small-format configurations.
Premium Reversible Blades
- High-alloy tool steel blades, 48–56 HRC hardness for exceptional wear resistance.
- Four-sided reversible blade design: rotate each blade up to four times before replacement, reducing blade cost per ton processed.
Customized Configuration Available
- Input voltage: 380V, 400V, 415V or 230V; 50Hz or 60Hz.
- Power source: electric motor or diesel engine.
- Motor power and blade configuration adjustable to project requirements.
Safe and Simple Operation
- Emergency stop activated instantly on abnormal hydraulic pressure.
- Compact, low-maintenance structure.
- CE and ISO 9001 certified.
Material Processing
| Material | Processing Notes |
|---|---|
| Round Bar | Cuts round steel bar up to Ø45 mm diameter. |
| Square Bar | Cuts square steel bar up to 40×40 mm cross-section. |
| Rebar | Suitable for construction rebar from demolition and recycling operations. |
| Angle Steel | Suitable for light structural angle steel profiles. |
| Channel Steel | Suitable for light channel steel sections. |
| I-Beam | Suitable for light I-beam sections within the 200T force rating. |
| Steel Pipe | Suitable for single light steel pipes within wall thickness limits. |
| Mixed Light Scrap | Suitable for mixed ferrous scrap from recycling yards, workshops and fabrication plants. |
Given that the alligator shear employs the lever principle to amplify the shearing force, the aforementioned data are subject to variation, as the shearing force exerted on the scrap material differs depending on its position along the blades.
How It Works
- Step 1 – Material Feeding: Load scrap metal manually or with a grapple into the shearing zone in front of the blade.
- Step 2 – Material Clamping: The hold-down cylinder descends automatically, firmly clamping the scrap to prevent movement during the cut.
- Step 3 – Hydraulic Shearing: The shear blade is driven downward by the hydraulic cylinder, completing the cut with 200 Ton of shearing force.
- Step 4 – Blade Return & Next Cycle: The blade and hold-down cylinder return automatically to the open position, ready for the next cut. In continuous mode, the machine cycles at 8–10 cuts per minute.

FAQ – 200 Ton Alligator Shear Machine Q43-200
What is the shearing force of the Q43-200?
The Q43-200 delivers a maximum shearing force of 200 Ton (2,000 kN), with a hold-down press force of 32 Ton to clamp material securely during each cut.
What materials can the 200 ton alligator shear cut?
The Q43-200 is suitable for round bar (up to Ø45 mm), square bar (up to 40×40 mm), angle steel, channel steel, light I-beams, rebar, light steel pipes and mixed light ferrous scrap. Heavier or larger-section materials require a higher-capacity model such as the Q43-315 or Q43-400. Given that the alligator shear employs the lever principle to amplify the shearing force, the aforementioned data are subject to variation, as the shearing force exerted on the scrap material differs depending on its position along the blades.
What is the blade length of the Q43-200 200 ton alligator shear?
The standard blade length is 800 mm and 1000 mm. Custom blade lengths may be available on request.
What is the cutting speed of the Q43-200?
The Q43-200 achieves 8–10 cuts per minute. Actual output depends on material type, cross-section size and operator workflow.
Can the 200 ton alligator shear Run on diesel engine power?
Yes. In addition to electric motor drive, a diesel engine power option can be configured for sites without reliable grid power.
Do I need to install foundation bolts?
No. The Q43-200 alligator shear does not require foundation bolts and can be freely positioned and relocated on site.
How many operators does the Q43-200 require?
One trained operator is sufficient for normal operation.
Can the Q43-200 be customized?
Yes. Motor power, input voltage (380V / 400V / 415V / 230V), frequency (50Hz / 60Hz) and power source can be adjusted to your requirements.
What information do I need to get a quotation?
Please provide: material type, maximum cross-section size, required daily throughput, power supply conditions and destination port. Photos or video of your scrap material help us recommend the best configuration.
Do you provide after-sales support?
Yes. HUAXIN provides 24/7 remote technical support, spare parts supply, installation guidance and operator training.
