Benefits of Hybrid Weld Shear (05100HY)

01

Safer Alternative to Hammer and Chisel Method

The hydraulic shearing machine is much safer to use than the traditional hammer and chisel method of reducing excess metal, which is hard work and exposes workers to projecting metal.

02

Eliminates Risk of Rail Damage

The machine-based process eliminates the risk of damaging the rail.

03

Precision control with shear/retract mechanism

A simple and intuitive control system allows the operator to smoothly activate the shear and retract functions. The hydraulic control is spring-centred, ensuring precise timing for each cut while maintaining a high level of safety during use.

04

Lightweight Design for Easy Transport and Safe Lifting

The lightweight design of the weld shear makes it easily
transportable – also promoting safe lifting practices.
