Mobile Attachments

DETCO blades are designed to maximize your productivity and profitability while lowering your costs and downtime.

Detroit Edge Tool Co. first brought the chrome boron alloy to the market over twenty years ago and has proven to be the industry standard among US shear manufacturers. Other companies have tried to imitate and copy our material chemistry and heat treating methods, however, the DETCO proprietary alloy is proven to maintain a tough edge through the life of the blade in all mobile shear applications. UltraEdge premium blades are also available for select models and makes. Please inquire with your sales representative – Subject to availability.

Mobile shears attachments are used on the end of an excavator for scrap recycling and demolition. They are efficient, mobile, sturdy, and typically more cost effective than stationary shears. For instance, the pivoting jaw’s long lever allows lower hydraulic pressure and less structural stress. The lower jaw assembly is supported by a unitized structure that conceals and protects the hydraulic cylinder and internal guidance system. The bolt-on replaceable cutting tip eliminates costly downtime, and the upper jaw itself can be rebuilt, reducing jaw assembly metal fatigue. For optimal cutting effectiveness, blades extend from tip to throat; the open throat design allows the material to flow freely, avoiding clogs. 

The mobile shears have many applications, from cutting scrap metal, dismantling buildings with steel structures, to even cutting entire ships and aircraft. They’re also great for ferrous bars, rods, I-beams, and railway and tramway tracks. These machines are able to operate in various conditions, such as on a building site with much dust or in harsh temperatures. The durability and wear resistance of the blades are put to the test due to their considerable cutting force.
