When cutting ½” mild steel plate, you need a machine that is built to last and perform day in any day out. The SH-120500-HD is just that machine. This massive machine weighs in at just over 23,000 lbs and features a frame that is all integrated and fully welded to eliminate vibrations commonly found on other models. By eliminating vibrations, it is eliminating any stress that can occur during the cutting process. The SH-120500-HD heavy duty metal shear uses only the best quality components, Schneider electrical, Rexroth hydraulic systems, and NOK seals from Japan. Running a shear of this size is not easy, but the SH-120500-HD has a large 30 hp motor that runs on 220 volt three phase.
