Excavator Demolition Shears

An excavator shear attachment is a machine-mounted tool that connects to an excavator through a compatible mount, bracket, and pin arrangement. It uses the excavator’s hydraulic system to operate cutting jaws for demolition, steel shearing, scrap processing, and material handling. Custom mount and pin solutions can help match the attachment to the excavator being used.

A hydraulic shear uses hydraulic power from an excavator to close cutting jaws around material. In demolition and recycling applications, it can cut steel, process scrap, dismantle structures, and sort materials. Hydraulic shears are selected according to excavator compatibility, mounting requirements, application, and the type of material being processed.

Hydraulic shears are used for demolition work, steel cutting, scrap processing, material handling, and excavator-based material processing. They can help contractors dismantle structures and reduce steel or other demolition materials into more manageable pieces. Product configurations may also support pulverizing or concrete processing when the attachment is designed for dual shear and pulverizer use.

The listed products support different excavator weight classes. The 2019 HAMMER FH25 Pulverizer/Shear fits excavators from 50,000 to 110,000 pounds, while the 2024 DLK ATTACHMENTS DLKM280 fits excavators in the 30,000–70,000 pound range. Confirm machine weight, stick width, hydraulic requirements, mount style, and pin dimensions before purchase.

Yes. EFI lists custom-fit mounting support for these attachments. The HAMMER unit includes new mount and pin installation, while the DLK ATTACHMENTS model includes a stiff arm and mounting bracket and supports custom pin sizes of 90mm, 80mm, 70mm, and 65mm. Compatibility should be confirmed using the excavator’s measurements and configuration.

These shears are suited to demolition work, concrete crushing, steel shearing, scrap processing, material handling, and excavator-based material processing. The appropriate attachment depends on the material, excavator weight class, mounting arrangement, and whether the job requires cutting, pulverizing, sorting, or a combination of functions.
