Hydraulic Mobile Shears Feature Industry-Leading Power-to-Weight Ratio, Cycle Times

Kinshofer introduces the DXS Series of hydraulic mobile excavator shears. The line features jaw-opening sizes, cycle times and hydraulic efficiency. The attachment series, which debuts with the DXS-50 model, is ideal for scrap processing, tire recycling and demolition.

Kinshofer’s DemaPower cylinder technology gives the DXS-50 the same power as shears two sizes larger. The cylinder uses four chambers instead of the two found in other shears, resulting in 20 percent more surface area within the cylinder. That allows the DXS Series to exert up to 25 percent more power from a smaller attachment, resulting in the best power-to-weight ratio in its size class. The 9,920 pound DXS-50 features a closing force of 1,203 tons, compared to 922 tons from its 9,020 pound predecessor, the DRS-45.
