Gantry shears feature manual, automatic, and remote control capabilities, allowing the cutting blade to start or stop at any point during the operation. Certain models incorporate a rapid-action circuit that increases cutting speed-for instance, raising the rate from 8 to 12 cuts per minute-without requiring additional motor power, thereby boosting operational efficiency.
Gantry shears are essential equipment in the fields of metal processing and scrap metal recycling. They are primarily used in metal recycling facilities, end-of-life vehicle (ELV) dismantling yards, and the smelting and casting industries. These machines perform cold shearing on various materials-including structural steel (such as angle iron, channel steel, round bars, and billets), metal plates (iron, copper, aluminum), wire products (iron wire, steel cable), scrap vehicles, and metal bales-processing them into furnace-ready feedstock. In rolling mills, non-ferrous metal plants, and metallurgical facilities, the equipment is used to process large, heavy scrap materials. Within the ELV recycling and dismantling sector, it plays a key role in optimizing automated workflows and enhancing the level of automation and precision in the dismantling process.
