360 degree bidirectional rotation system.
●
Adjustable hub allows users to maintain tolerances
between the jaws in the field.
●
High force to weight ratio.
●
Long wearing alloy steel blades.
●
Cutting edges mounted on the side of the shear jaws
and are visible to the operator.

Applications:
Cat Mobile Scrap and Demolition Shears are designed
to cut and reduce the size of metal items commonly
found in scrap yards, buildings, and other structures.
The profiles on the next page approximate shear
cutting capacity. The cutting capacities listed on the
next page were achieved by cutting the specified steel
profiles with a shear operating pressure at 35 000 kPa
(5075 psi) and knives in slightly used condition. Lower
operating pressures, dull knife edges, and harder steels
will obviously reduce cutting capability.
Guarding Recommendation
Shears used in hazardous applications like demoli-
tion, and scrap and material handling can create a need
for special operator guarding due to flying or falling
objects. When using a shear, additional protective devices
such as a front screen, Falling Object Guarding System
(FOGS, includes top and front guarding), thick poly-
carbonate windshields or a combination of these is rec-
ommended by Caterpillar. Contact your Cat dealer for
operator guarding options on your machine.
