WHAT IS AN ALLIGATOR SHEAR?

An alligator shear(alligator shearing machine) is also known as the  crocodile shear. The alligator shear is a type of cutting tool whcih is widely used to cut the waste metal in metalworking.  The alligator shear is similar to a pair of scissors, but with longer, heavier blades that are designed to cut through thicker materials such as sheet metal and rebar. The blades are usually serrated, allowing them to grip the material being cut and make a clean cut. Alligator shears are commonly used in fabrication shops ,industrial applications and also in metal recycling industries.

The alligator shearing machine is a samller type of the scrap metal shearing machine compared with the heavy duty gantry shear and tiger shear(super alligator shear) The alligator shear has the advantages of the samll volum and low price but limited cutting production，so the alligator shear is normally suitable for the samll recycling recycling centre or personal using. To improve the cutting speed and reduce the labor working, the alligator shear can be equipped with the feeding box. For much more the daily production demand, the customers can consider the other scrap metal shearing machines like: super alligator shear, container shear and the gantry shear.
