Frequently Asked Questions

What plate thicknesses can a 52-inch industrial foot shear cut?

Piranha hydraulic shears are engineered to cut steel plate ranging from 1/4-inch to 1-inch thickness, depending on the model. The cutting capacity is determined by the shear's tonnage and blade configuration. Models are available in 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" capacity ratings, with blade lengths of 8', 10', and 13'.
