The Monde Demolition Shear Cutter reinforced-concrete excavator shear is the only hydraulic cutting attachment in the UZINEX range designed explicitly for mixed structures: combinations of reinforced concrete and metal sections found in industrial buildings, bridges, overpasses and older infrastructure.
Unlike shears specialised exclusively for metal, the Monde reinforced-concrete excavator shear can section both the rebar and steel sections and the concrete mass surrounding them, eliminating the need for a separate hydraulic breaker for the breaking phase before cutting the rebar.
The Monde Demolition Shear Cutter reinforced-concrete excavator shear is driven by two hydraulic cylinders and works 2–3 times faster than a conventional pneumatic breaker on demolition operations, significantly reducing site duration and fuel consumption per volume of demolished material.

• Combined cutting of reinforced concrete and metal from a single attachment: the Monde Demolition Shear Cutter reinforced-concrete excavator shear is designed to process both the concrete mass and the metal rebar inside it, without requiring a separate machine or attachment for each material. On sites demolishing reinforced-concrete structures, this combined capability eliminates the repeated attachment changes between the breaking phase and the rebar-cutting phase.
• 2–3 times faster than the pneumatic breaker: the Monde reinforced-concrete excavator shear demolishes by shearing, not by repetitive impact. A structure that requires 30 minutes of work with a hydraulic breaker to be fragmented can be processed in 10–15 minutes with the Monde reinforced-concrete excavator shear, with the same excavator and the same operator; the difference comes from the energy efficiency of shearing compared with percussive impact.
“Faster than a conventional pneumatic hammer on demolition operations, significantly reducing site duration and fuel consumption per volume of material demolished.”
• Two hydraulic drive cylinders: the Monde Demolition Shear Cutter reinforced-concrete excavator shear has two hydraulic cylinders that distribute the cutting force evenly across both jaws. The twin-cylinder configuration provides the penetration force required in the concrete mass and maintains effort symmetry on the metal rebar inside, preventing the material from deflecting at the moment of cutting.
• Large opening for bulky materials: the generous jaw opening of the Monde reinforced-concrete excavator shear allows it to grip massive reinforced-concrete sections (floor slabs, bridge beams, columns) without requiring prior pre-fragmentation to smaller dimensions. The operator can work directly on the structural elements at their original dimensions, reducing the number of passes required.
• Quiet operation without excessive vibration: the Monde reinforced-concrete excavator shear cuts through shearing force, without the repetitive impacts of the hydraulic breaker. The absence of structural vibration reduces the risk of uncontrolled collapse of adjacent elements not targeted for demolition and allows selective demolition work near structures that must be preserved.
• Full versatility on mixed materials: besides reinforced concrete, the Monde reinforced-concrete excavator shear also processes pipes, I-beam sections, cables and vehicle bodies, covering all the material streams found on sites demolishing old industrial structures where demolition materials are mixed and unpredictable in type and size.
• Improved operational safety: operating by remote hydraulic shearing from the excavator cab keeps the operator away from the risk zone in the event of an uncontrolled collapse of the material. The reinforced-concrete excavator shear eliminates the need for manual cutting work with angle grinders or oxy-fuel torches in areas with a risk of falling material.
• 60-month UZINEX warranty: spare parts in stock in Iași, guaranteed 24–48 hour nationwide technical support.
Main applications of the Monde reinforced-concrete excavator shear
Demolition of buildings with reinforced concrete structure: old apartment blocks, industrial halls with concrete frames, silos.
Demolition of reinforced concrete bridges and overpasses for the rehabilitation of road and rail infrastructure is a.
Emergency interventions in collapsed reinforced concrete structures: earthquakes, industrial accidents.
Demolishing buildings with a reinforced-concrete structure (old blocks of flats, industrial halls with concrete frames, silos, concrete tanks) is the central application of the Monde Demolition Shear Cutter reinforced-concrete excavator shear. These structures have columns, beams and slabs with dense rebar that cannot be processed efficiently by either pure metal shears (too rigid for the concrete mass) or hydraulic crushers (which do not cut the rebar). The reinforced-concrete excavator shear solves both phases simultaneously.
Demolishing reinforced-concrete bridges and overpasses for the rehabilitation of road and rail infrastructure is a growing application on the Romanian market, as infrastructure modernisation programmes with EU funds accelerate. Prestressed-concrete bridge decks and reinforced-concrete support structures require a reinforced-concrete excavator shear with the capacity to penetrate the concrete mass and sufficient force to section large-diameter prestressing cables and rebar.
Demolishing mixed industrial structures (concrete foundations with metal anchors, concrete frames with embedded HEA/HEB sections, concrete platforms with welded rebar mesh) are the situations where the Monde reinforced-concrete excavator shear brings the greatest advantage over the hydraulic breaker, eliminating the separate work phases with different equipment and reducing the number of machines required simultaneously on site.
Emergency interventions in collapsed reinforced-concrete structures (earthquakes, industrial accidents, building collapses) require rapid access by sectioning structural elements without destabilising the residual structure. The Monde reinforced-concrete excavator shear allows controlled cutting of reinforced-concrete elements near areas where victims are located, with minimal vibration compared with the hydraulic breaker. Reinforced-concrete excavator shear vs. the other UZINEX shears
The UZINEX range includes four types of hydraulic shears, each optimised for a specific category of materials and applications. The Monde Demolition Shear Cutter reinforced-concrete excavator shear stands apart through its unique ability to process reinforced concrete: no other shear in the range has this specification.
The Monde JS-RT hydraulic shear (5 models, 12–50 tonnes) and the Monde YZJ310 shear (295t lateral force, 745 mm opening) are optimised exclusively for metal structures (steel halls, ferrous scrap, heavy sections) with no declared capacity on reinforced concrete.
The Eagle Shear 310 (1,350 kg, 10–20 tonnes, 360° rotation) is optimised for fast metal recycling and vehicle dismantling, not for demolishing reinforced-concrete structures.
The Monde reinforced-concrete excavator shear is the solution when the site involves mixed structures or structures made entirely of reinforced concrete. Combined with a Monde DEHN quick coupler, it can be mounted and dismounted quickly to switch with a demolition bucket or a hydraulic breaker on the different phases of the same site. Frequently asked questions about the Monde reinforced-concrete excavator shear
Can the reinforced-concrete excavator shear cut prestressed concrete with high-strength cables?
The capacity on prestressed concrete depends on the cable diameter and the strength grade of the prestressing steel, parameters that vary significantly between projects. UZINEX engineers assess the specific application when quoting and confirm whether the Monde reinforced-concrete excavator shear is the appropriate solution or whether a shear with greater cutting force is required. What hydraulic circuit does the Monde reinforced-concrete excavator shear require?
The Monde Demolition Shear Cutter reinforced-concrete excavator shear requires an auxiliary hydraulic circuit on your excavator. UZINEX checks the flow rate and pressure available on your specific excavator model when quoting and confirms compatibility before delivery.
