Hydraulic Shears
Indeco-Hydraulic-Shears
Shears and Rail Cutters
ISS and IRC Series
Vital tools for anyone working in the scrap metal or
recycling sectors, Indeco ISS Steel Shears stand out for their
cutting-edge design, for their extreme robustness and for
their technical innovations which substantially increase
their efficiency.
Rapid, efficient and surprisingly powerful, Indeco ISS shears
are the ideal choice for demolishing any type of metal
structure.
Indeco’s tried and tested continuous rotation hydraulic
system, found on all of our other rotating products, enables
the shear to work in the best possible position while its
large jaw opening, fast cycle times and its incredible cutting
power make all demolition operations fast and effective.
Special extra-strength HARDOX® alloy steel make ISS shears
outstandingly resistant and reliable. Each of the main knives
and guide-blades was designed with four cutting surfaces
so they can be rotated three times before replacement
thereby assuring more consistency, uptime and production
in your operation.
New addition to the range of Indeco products dedicated
to the recycling of ferrous materials, the IRC Rail-Cutting
Shears are hydraulic tools specifically designed for cutting
railway tracks, tramway rails, and underground rails,
made with heat-treated steel to withstand the enormous
forces. The special design of their jaws, combined with the
efficiency of the hydraulic system, and the sturdiness of the
structure in special HARDOX® steel, lets you cut rails up to
75 kg of mass per metre, with hardness up to 300 Brinell.
Two shear models available, IRC 20 and IRC 30, designed to
work on the various rail standards in the EU, USA, and Asian
countries.

Features of Indeco
hydraulic shears
The regeneration valve |1| speeds up no-load movement of
the jaw, which opens and closes more quickly, thus reducing
cycle times and increasing productivity.
The chassis |2|, made from extra-strength HARDOX® alloy
steel, eliminates any flexing of the shear body.
The unique integrated dual guide system |3| can be used
to adjust the alignment tolerance of the jaw and prevents it
from buckling during the cutting stroke.
The interchangeable “quick change” wear bushings |4|
ensure that the knives are always optimally aligned.
The heavy-duty pivot group |5| provides long-term cutting
efficiency, keeps jaws aligned and prevents buckling.
The innovative design |6| improves cutting efficiency
compared to similar products.
The large jaw opening |7| provides greater flexibility for
numerous applications.
The special insert bushings |8| are made from an anti-friction
material with a dust seal.
The large, powerful hydraulic cylinder |9| is an exclusive
Indeco design, and provides enough force to deal with any
type of working conditions. Its long-lasting seals are able to
withstand up to 700 bars of pressure.
The baseplate for the ISS in fixed configuration |10| makes
the attachment much lighter and less bulky, which means
that a larger shear can be used on the excavator.
The shears have full high-speed 360° hydraulic rotation |11|
for better positioning and optimal cutting in any working
position.
The mounting bracket for the 2nd-member configuration
|12| is used to mount the ISS straight onto the excavator
boom. In this configuration, ideal for recycling ferrous
material, a large attachment can be mounted even on a
relatively light carrier.
The universal baseplate for 2nd member mounting brackets
|13| is compatible with all carriers.
The 3rd member mounting bracket |14| is used to mount
the ISS on the carrier stick (bucket-mounted), ideal for
demolition jobs.
The attachment plate |15| is compatible with the plate for
Indeco hammers of similar weight.
In the latest design |16|, the shear is more compact with
a thicker casing, thus improving its manoeuvrability and
balance, as well as increasing its overall robustness.

Appetite guide
Indeco shears are designed to cut and reduce the size of
the most common materials used in demolitions in the
mechanical, naval and construction sectors. The figures set
out below refer to cutting capacity under normal working
conditions. Results may vary according to such factors as
how robust the material to be cut is, what condition the
shear blades are in, the characteristics of the carrier and the
operator’s ability. Appropriate maintenance of the shear is
crucial for maximum productivity of cutting operations.
*Refer to mild steel tubing and not to other materials such as stainless steel, cast steel etc.
**Blade thickness affect the shear’s capacity to pierce sheet metal in various applications
***These figures may vary for beams of different shapes, thicknesses and material
N.B. All illustrations and numerical data in this catalog are purely indicative and subject to change at our discretion and without notice.

Structure |1| with an extremely robust design, entirely
made of HARDOX® 450 to withstand the strong stresses of
very heavy-duty work, and particularly compact to facilitate
coupling with machines with a wider weight range.
Large hydraulic cylinder |2|, to provide greater power and
to respond to the heaviest stresses, equipped with metal
alloy sliding components to ensure maximum reliability.
Wider maximum opening |3| than competitors, for greater
flexibility, being able to ‘process’ rails with the most diverse
profiles and dimensions on the global market.
The cutters |4| in special hardened material,
interchangeable and rotatable, can be used up to 4 times in
order to always have efficient cutting angles.
The specific design of the claws |5| and of the cutter profiles
enables the cutting of rails up to 75 kg mass per meter
(151 lb/yd) and up to 300 Brinell hardness.
The ‘quick change’ interchangeable wear bushings |6|
make it so that the cutters are always aligned optimally.
The exceptionally robust pivoting system |7| ensures
long-lasting cutting efficiency and keeps the jaws aligned,
preventing twisting.
Efficient and easily accessible hydraulic system |8|.
Full 360° hydraulic rotation system |9| for greater flexibility
and speed. Equipped with relief valves for flow and
pressure, it guarantees greater reliability, durability, and
positioning precision.
The attachment plate |10| is compatible with that of Indeco
hammers of the same weight.
The 3rd-member mounting bracket |11| lets you mount the
IRC on the carrier stick (bucket-mounted) of the excavator.
The 2nd-member mounting bracket |12| lets you mount the
IRC directly onto the excavator boom. In this configuration,
large equipment can be mounted even on a low weight
machine. The universal attachment plate for 2nd-member
mounting brackets is compatible with all excavators.
