Alligator shears play an important role for metal recyclers by cutting materials down to size which enables shredders to handle oversized materials that would otherwise be difficult or sometimes impossible to digest. These machines also assist in preparing scrap for shredding by removing unwanted fittings or other parts the shredder may not accept.

McIntyre 200B Shear
McIntyre’s long-term experience in hydraulic equipment manufacture has enabled us to build an alligator shear with a staggering cutting force - much higher than other machines on the market today.

Although equipped with only an 8” blade, the high shear force and wide tip to tip opening on the 200B means that it can deal efficiently with a whole range of non ferrous cleaning and sizing operations - in particular larger diameter electric cables and valves. In most cases - if your metal will fit into the jaw of the 200B, then this machine will cut it.
