The Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear is the hydraulic cutting attachment with full 360° rotation intended for 10–20 tonne excavators, specialised in recycling ferrous and non-ferrous metals, demolishing medium-sized metal structures and dismantling vehicles and industrial equipment. The unlimited 360° hydraulic rotation is the fundamental differentiator compared with non-rotating shears — the operator can position the jaws exactly on the section to be cut from any angle, without repositioning the excavator arm or the machine.
The Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear weighs 1,350 kg, has a working cycle of 8–12 seconds per cut and operates at a pressure of 25–30 MPa with a twin hydraulic cylinder for maximum force. The cutting capacity of the rotating excavator shear covers round steel up to Φ50 mm, I-beam sections up to 140×8 mm and steel plates up to 400×100×18 mm — the full range of sections found in medium industrial demolition and scrap yards. Key advantages of the Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear
• Unlimited 360° hydraulic rotation — the Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear rotates fully around the vertical axis, hydraulically controlled from the operator's cab. This angular freedom eliminates the repeated repositioning of the excavator to align the jaws on horizontal, vertical or inclined sections, reducing the number of manoeuvres per cut compared with a fixed shear.
• Fast cycle of 8–12 seconds per cut — the Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear completes a full open–position–cut cycle in 8 to 12 seconds. On a scrap-metal processing line working continuously, this fast cycle translates directly into tonnes processed per shift — a key indicator of the profitability of the recycling operation.
• Twin hydraulic cylinder for maximum force — the Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear is equipped with a twin cylinder that provides symmetrical cutting force on both jaws and prevents lateral deflection of the section during cutting. The twin-cylinder construction is essential for the precise cutting of I-beam sections and large-diameter round bars where the asymmetric forces of a single cylinder would cause the material to shift.
• Precise cutting capacity — round steel Φ50 mm, I-beam 140×8 mm, plates 400×100×18 mm — the Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear covers the full range of metal materials found in medium industrial demolition: bars and rebar up to Φ50 mm, standard I-beam sections and steel plate up to 400 mm wide by 18 mm thick.
• Working pressure 25–30 MPa — the Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear operates at 250–300 bar, compatible with the standard auxiliary hydraulic circuit of 10–20 tonne excavators without modifications to the hydraulic system compared with the standard configuration.
• High-strength steel with anti-wear plate — the Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear is built from high-strength steel with anti-wear plate in the jaw contact zones. The cutting jaws are replaceable independently, without fully disassembling the attachment.
• Quiet operation without excessive vibration — unlike hydraulic breakers with repeated impact, the Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear cuts through compression force, without the intense vibration transmitted to the excavator arm. The absence of vibration reduces operator fatigue and extends the service life of the arm joints.
• Customisable colour — the Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear is available in blue, black, yellow, white or other RAL colours on request.
• 60-month UZINEX warranty — spare parts in stock in Iași, guaranteed 24–48 hour nationwide technical support.

Recycling ferrous and non-ferrous metals in scrap yards is the highest-volume use application for the Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear. Its low weight of 1,350 kg and fast 8–12 second cycle make it suitable for the continuous processing of mixed metal materials to dimensions accepted by baling presses and steelmaking furnaces, without frequent stoppages for repositioning.
Demolishing medium-sized metal structures — lightweight halls, sheet-metal structures, industrial platforms and walkways — is a natural application for the Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear. The 360° rotation of the rotating excavator shear allows the operator to attack any structural element from a single position, without retracting and repositioning the machine for each change of angle.
Dismantling end-of-life vehicles — cars, vans, minibuses, tractors and light agricultural machinery — is an expanding application on the Romanian market, supported by the requirements for treating end-of-life vehicles (ELV). The Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear cuts frames, chassis rails and body structures to fractionable dimensions, facilitating subsequent sorting by material category.
Cutting large industrial cables and cabling — steel cables, chains, electrical cables with large-section copper cores — is facilitated by the rotating geometry of the Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear, which allows precise positioning of the cable in the active zone of the jaws. Cutting by compression, without sparks, is a relevant advantage over thermal cutting in environments with flammable materials.
Dismantling river vessels and decommissioned boats — present on the Danube and inland waterways — benefits from the 360° rotation of the Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear, which allows access to metal structures with various orientations without moving the machine on the narrow platforms of shipyards. Eagle Shear 310 rotating shear vs. Monde JS-RT hydraulic shear
The two shears available through UZINEX cover different application classes. The choice depends on the excavator tonnage, the processing volume and the predominant type of material.
The Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear is the solution for 10–20 tonne excavators working in continuous metal recycling or medium selective demolition, where the 360° rotation and the fast 8–12 second cycle are essential for productivity. At 1,350 kg, the rotating excavator shear is calibrated precisely for this tonnage class, without overloading the excavator arm.
The Monde JS-RT hydraulic shear (5 models, 2,100–4,600 kg, 12–50t) is the solution for heavy-class industrial demolition — large HEA beams, massive structures — where the raw cutting force of the JS450RT and JS480RT models at 320–350 bar exceeds what the Eagle Shear 310 can offer, but without the advantage of 360° rotation.
Combined with a Monde DEHN quick coupler, the Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear can quickly switch with a skeleton bucket for sorting the recyclable materials resulting from processing. Frequently asked questions about the Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear
What hydraulic circuit does the Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear require?
The Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear requires an auxiliary hydraulic circuit with a pressure of 25–30 MPa and sufficient flow to drive the twin cylinder and the 360° rotation motor. Unlike non-rotating shears, the Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear consumes additional flow for the rotation motor — UZINEX checks the exact parameters on your excavator model when quoting. Are the jaws of the Eagle Shear 310 rotating shear replaceable?
Yes — the cutting jaws of the Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear are replaceable independently. UZINEX keeps spare parts for the rotating excavator shear permanently in stock in Iași, with immediate delivery to minimise machine downtime. Does the Eagle Shear 310 rotating shear also cut non-ferrous materials?
Yes — the Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear can cut aluminium, copper and other non-ferrous metals in sections compatible with the model's capacity. The compression cutting of the rotating excavator shear produces no sparks — a relevant advantage when processing non-ferrous metals in environments with flammable materials or in enclosed spaces. Is it eligible for SEAP/SICAP procurement?
Yes. UZINEX provides complete technical documentation at delivery, and the product can be added directly to SEAP/SICAP. UZINEX is a member of the Enterprise Europe Network and supplies equipment for EU- and PNRR-funded projects. Why UZINEX for the Eagle Shear 310 rotating excavator shear
