Answers About Our Shears And Service
Straightforward answers about hydraulic alligator shears, parts, financing, and service, pulled from the questions customers ask us most often. Do not see what you need, call (330) 920 1500 or send a message.
Equipment And Sizing
What size hydraulic alligator shear do I need
It depends on the volume and type of material you process. The Model 1200 is a twelve inch shear built for smaller operations, the Model 1600 is a sixteen inch shear suited to mid sized yards, and the Model 2500 and 2500LD are twenty five inch shears built for high volume processing. All three run on a 110 ton hydraulic system. Call (330) 920 1500 and the team can help match a size to your yard.
What materials can your shears cut
The hydraulic alligator shears are built to cut steel, copper, cable, and rebar, with jaw operation controlled by a foot pedal so the operator keeps both hands free to feed material.
Do you offer shear attachments for skid steers
Yes. Alongside the stationary Model 1200, 1600, and 2500 shears, skid steer shear attachments are available for operations that want shearing capability without a dedicated stationary machine.
Are your shears made in the USA
Every shear is manufactured domestically in Cuyahoga Falls Ohio, from the frame up.
Buying And Financing
Do you offer financing for shear equipment
Yes, financing options are available for qualifying purchases. Contact the team to review what fits your budget.
Can I rent a shear instead of buying one
Yes, equipment rental is available alongside outright purchase, which is a good option for short term projects or seasonal demand.
Do you buy back old equipment
Yes. If you have scrap metal or recycling equipment you no longer need, including shears from other manufacturers, the team can evaluate it and make a fair offer, backed by more than twenty five years of industry experience. Visit the Sell To Us page to get started.
Do you sell reconditioned or used equipment
Yes. Alongside new equipment, shears from any manufacturer are reconditioned and repaired in house, so reconditioned machines are often available at a lower cost than new.
Parts And Service
Do you carry parts for shears you did not manufacture
Yes. Replacement parts are stocked in house for a wide range of manufacturers, including J. McIntyre Machinery Ltd, Gensco Equipment, Deltax Limited, MaTech Inc., and Rigby Machinery Inc. Visit the Parts Request page to tell the team what you need.
How fast do replacement parts ship
Most parts ship within twenty four to forty eight hours of a request, since parts are kept in an in house inventory rather than ordered from a manufacturer after the fact.
What is covered under the shear warranty
Every shear carries a lifetime guarantee on the main bearing assembly and a one year warranty on parts.
Shipping And Service Area
Where do you ship equipment and parts
Shipping reaches customers nationwide and internationally. The shop is based in Cuyahoga Falls Ohio, serving the greater Cleveland area directly and customers across the country and overseas by shipment.
