Picture
Advantages	The length of scrap metal can be adjusted. Customers can set the cutting length of scrap according to their needs. The process of feeding material can be seen.	Container shear can save space. The shearing speed is relatively fast and does not require an cylinder or chain to push the material. The material falls due to its own gravity and then sheared. Materials can be continuously fed and cut.
Disadvantages	Continuous feeding is not allowed. It must be cut box by box. Compared with container shear,gantry shear takes up more floor space.	Container shears have a fixed cutting height, so the material is cut to a fixed length. The feeding process can not be seen.
