The Monde JS-RT series excavator hydraulic shear is the cutting and fragmentation attachment intended for industrial demolition, metal recycling and emergency response — applications where the hydraulic breaker or standard bucket cannot cut, section or dismantle metal structures with precision and efficiency.
With 5 models covering excavators from 12 to 50 tonnes and weights between 2,100 and 4,600 kg, the Monde JS-RT excavator hydraulic shear is the solution for operators demolishing steel structures, processing scrap metal or dismantling end-of-life vehicles and machinery.
The Monde excavator hydraulic shear works with working pressures of 250–350 kg/cm² and hydraulic flows of 180–300 L/min depending on the model, providing cutting force sufficient for metal sections, bars, pipes and structural steel plate in all the usual construction and industrial production classes. The 5 models of the Monde JS-RT excavator hydraulic shear
The Monde JS-RT excavator hydraulic shear range covers a wide span of tonnages and applications. Each model is sized in weight, opening and cutting force for the compatible excavator class, ensuring that the excavator hydraulic shear does not overload the arm structure and that the available cutting force matches the dimensions of the processed material.
| Model | Weight (kg) | Max. opening (mm) | Total length (mm) | Pressure (kg/cm²) | Flow (L/min) | Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| JS280RT | 2.100 | 485 | 2.700 | 250–300 | 180–220 | Medium demolition, 14–18t |
| JS350RT | 3.000 | 595 | 3.200 | 300–320 | 200–250 | Medium demolition, 14–18t |

• Direct cutting of metal structures without pre-fragmentation — the Monde JS-RT excavator hydraulic shear sections metal profiles, HEA/HEB beams, pipes, bars and structural steel plate in a single jaw action, eliminating the need for oxy-fuel cutting or manual grinding before dismantling. On industrial demolition sites, the productivity difference compared with traditional methods is 3–5 times more tonnes processed per shift.
• 5 models for 12–50 tonne excavators — the Monde JS-RT excavator hydraulic shear range covers medium 14–18 tonne excavators (JS280RT, JS350RT) and heavy 28–39 tonne excavators (JS450RT, JS480RT), with the JS380RT model as the intermediate solution. Each model is calibrated in weight and force to operate within the rated parameters of the compatible excavator without overloading the arm or the hydraulic circuit.
• Maximum opening 485–740 mm — the Monde JS-RT excavator hydraulic shear has a maximum jaw opening of 485 mm on the entry-level JS280RT model and 740 mm on the top JS480RT model. The opening determines the maximum size of the metal section that can be gripped and sectioned in a single movement — the HEA200 beam (200×200 mm) on the medium models, larger sections on the JS450RT and JS480RT.
• Working pressure 250–350 kg/cm² — the Monde JS-RT excavator hydraulic shear operates at pressures of 250–350 kg/cm² depending on the model, providing the cutting force required for S235, S275 and S355 structural steels used in industrial construction. The large JS450RT and JS480RT models at 320–350 kg/cm² also cover the higher-strength steels found in decommissioned industrial machinery.
• Single or twin cylinder depending on the model — the Monde JS-RT excavator hydraulic shear is available in single-hydraulic-cylinder variants (smaller models, standard applications) and twin-cylinder variants (large models, maximum cutting-force applications). The twin-cylinder configuration ensures force symmetry on both jaws and reduces asymmetric wear of the main joint.
• Construction from high-quality steel — the Monde JS-RT excavator hydraulic shear is built from high-strength steels with heat-treated jaws for maximum hardness in the cutting zone. The jaws are replaceable independently, without fully disassembling the attachment, reducing maintenance cost compared with monobloc systems.
• Overload protection — the Monde JS-RT excavator hydraulic shear includes hydraulic overload protection mechanisms that prevent damage to the cylinders and the joint when encountering materials above the rated capacity of the chosen model, protecting both the attachment and the excavator arm.
• 60-month UZINEX warranty — spare parts for jaws and cylinders in stock in Iași, guaranteed 24–48 hour nationwide technical support.
Main applications of the Monde excavator hydraulic shear
The Monde JS-RT excavator hydraulic shear has three main areas of use on the Romanian market. Industrial demolition of metal halls, warehouses and decommissioned industrial platforms is the central application of the Monde JS-RT excavator hydraulic shear. A typical metal hall with a steel structure — HEA/HEB columns, roof beams, sheet-metal panels — can be demolished and fragmented to transportable dimensions directly with the excavator hydraulic shear, eliminating intermediate oxy-fuel cutting operations and significantly reducing the duration of the demolition site.
Scrap-metal recycling and processing industrial metal waste require the fragmentation of large pieces to dimensions accepted by steelmaking furnaces and baling presses. The Monde JS-RT excavator hydraulic shear cuts and sections steel blocks, machine frames, machinery structures and large metal sections directly in scrap yards, replacing fixed recycling shears with a mobile solution mounted on the existing excavator.
Dismantling heavy vehicles — buses, trucks, agricultural machinery, end-of-life construction equipment — is a growing application for the excavator hydraulic shear on the Romanian market, as the requirements for treating end-of-life vehicles (ELV) expand. The excavator hydraulic shear allows the frames and load-bearing structures of heavy vehicles to be sectioned into manageable fractions for subsequent sorting and recycling.
Emergency interventions — road accidents with trapped heavy vehicles, structures collapsed over victims, industrial fires with deformed metal structures — benefit from the excavator hydraulic shear as a tool for rapid access. The ability to cut metal structures remotely, from the excavator cab, reduces the risk to response teams compared with manual or flame-cutting methods. Selection guide — which excavator hydraulic shear model is right
Selecting the correct excavator hydraulic shear model depends on three parameters: the tonnage of the available excavator, the maximum dimensions of the metal sections to be cut and the hydraulic flow available on the excavator's auxiliary circuit. The guide below helps identify the optimal JS-RT model for the excavator hydraulic shear according to the tonnage class.
JS280RT and JS350RT are the right models for 14–18 tonne excavators used in medium demolition — lightweight halls, sheet-metal structures, scrap-metal processing with standard sections. The 485–595 mm opening covers HEA sections up to 160–200 mm and common industrial pipes.
JS380RT is the intermediate solution for 18–28 tonne excavators that require an excavator hydraulic shear with more force than the JS350RT without reaching the full class of the 28–39 tonne models.
JS450RT and JS480RT are the models for 28–39 tonne excavators used in major industrial demolition, heavy-class steel structures and scrap-metal processing with large sections. The 700–740 mm opening and the 320–350 kg/cm² pressure cover HEA beams up to 300–400 mm and high-strength sections.
Combined with a Monde DEHN quick coupler, the excavator hydraulic shear can be mounted and dismounted from the excavator cab in under a minute, allowing quick switching with a heavy-duty bucket or a skeleton bucket for sorting the materials resulting from demolition. Frequently asked questions about the excavator hydraulic shear
What thickness of steel can the Monde excavator hydraulic shear cut?
The cutting capacity of the Monde excavator hydraulic shear depends on the chosen model and the type of steel. The JS280RT–JS350RT excavator hydraulic shear covers common S235/S275 sections, while the JS450RT–JS480RT also cuts higher-strength S355 steels. UZINEX engineers calculate the exact capacity for your material when quoting. Does the excavator hydraulic shear require a special auxiliary hydraulic circuit?
Yes — the Monde JS-RT excavator hydraulic shear requires an auxiliary hydraulic circuit with the flow and pressure corresponding to the chosen model: 180–220 L/min and 250–300 kg/cm² for the JS280RT, and 250–300 L/min and 320–350 kg/cm² for the JS450RT and JS480RT. UZINEX checks your excavator's auxiliary circuit parameters when quoting to confirm compatibility before delivery. Are the jaws of the excavator hydraulic shear replaceable?
Yes. The cutting jaws of the Monde JS-RT excavator hydraulic shear are replaceable independently, without fully disassembling the attachment.
