Scrap Metal Shear Types: Which Fits Which Yard
The useful question is never which shear is best but which shear is this yard. Five profiles, five answers, one method.

Scrap Metal Shear Types: Gantry, Box, Inclined, Alligator
Four genuinely different designs share one category name. What each is, what it is for, and which ones we build — with the reasons.
-
Alligator Shear vs Gantry Shear at Heavy Duty
At light duty the comparison is a trade-off; at heavy duty one machine simply stops. The limits, the signals, and the transition.
-
Gantry Shear vs Alligator Shear: Small-Yard Choice
Two machines, two jobs. The comparison from the small-yard side, with the signals that say a yard is ready for the gantry.

2000 Ton Scrap Metal Shear: Spec Details That Matter
At flagship scale the spec sheet is an engineering brief. Which rows are fixed, which are your quotation’s decisions, and which questions to ask.
-
2000 Ton Scrap Metal Shear: Justifying the Flagship
The largest machine we build, and the test that decides whether your operation needs it: two measurements, not ambition.
-
1600 Ton Scrap Metal Shear: Downtime Accounting
Ask a three-shift operator what their shear costs and they name the day it stopped. The accounting method for pricing that before the order.
-
1600 Ton Scrap Metal Shear: Three-Shift Economics
At 200-240 tons a day the machine stops being equipment and becomes infrastructure. The economics that follow, and the levers that move them.
-
1250 Ton Scrap Metal Shear: Cut Consistency Downstream
The machine’s output is not cut pieces — it is a specification your customer accepts every load. How consistency is held, and how it drifts.

1250 Ton Scrap Metal Shear: The Production Class
Below this class machines are judged on what they cut; at it, on how consistently. The production class and what changes at 160-200 tons a day.
