Caterpillar S2050 overview

Blades / Cutting Edges

Cut more, cut faster

Cutting force is designed to handle the heaviest cutting tasks. Power is optimized through the entire cutting cycle; compressing, piercing, and cutting with equal efficiency. Cutting edges are kept aligned, focusing cutting force and reducing drag, by tapered spacer plates. Industry leading cycle times for maximum production. The operator can see the cut for total control. Additionally, material can be picked up flat on the ground.


Rotation System

Takes a wrench, not a machine shop

The entire shear can be greased from the ground. The piercing tip is bolt-on, easily serviced, and designed to prevent bolt loosening and tip failure. Only replace what needs to be replaced – every cutting blade can be independently replaced as needed. The swivel and rotator motor are serviceable while the shear is mounted on the machine. The hub is field-serviceable and can be tightened to address loose tolerances.


Material / Usage

Tougher than any scrap pile

Shear body is designed with a structural safety factor (stress resistance) almost double that of some competitors. Lower and upper jaw are made with Hi Tuff steel that is work hardened, providing high strength and abrasion resistance. The solid, laminated steel jaw is stronger than typical box section designs. Additionally, the blades taper toward each other to minimize drag and wear. The cylinder rod stays protected inside the shear housing, allowing it to endure the worst impact and pressure spikes with a 2:1 pressure safety margin. Furthermore, key components have a 4:1 margin.
