The Uni-Hydro Model 2574 Plate Shear is a compact powerhouse that provides our customers with decades of trouble free metal cutting operation. This plate shear is engineered to deliver increasing power throughout the cut with a patented system that utilizes a cylinder that is center mounted on the blade and uses pivot arms to transfer energy to three pressure points. The result is up to a 115% performance gain as the cut finishes. No other competitors shear matches this performance!

Another hallmark of these plate shears of the simplicity of adjustments, a fixed low rake design, quiet hydraulic operation and simple measuring systems for operator productivity.
