Can this shear handle heavy scrap, H-beams and thick plate?

Question

VANROCK Group · Accepted Answer

Yes. VANROCK specifies the VANROCK Demolition Shear is for structural steel, H-beams, pipes, tanks and heavy scrap, and it also lists thick plate in the cutting-force highlight.

Model choice depends on the opening and force you need:

- VR-DS 15: 530 mm opening, 163 ton at the blade
- VR-DS 20: 650 mm opening, 253 ton at the blade
- VR-DS 30: 740 mm opening, 468 ton at the blade

So if the job is larger sections or wider material, the main differences inside this range are maximum opening width and cutting force at the blade. The data does not give a maximum material thickness, so selection should be based on the listed opening and force figures rather than an unstated thickness claim.
