Developed with an emphasis on economy, the Harris line of ABS shears has proven to be fast and economical, meeting the needs  of scrap processors around the world. Offered in 550, 800, and 1000 ton models, the ABS employs a unique concept in design; a pre-compression charging box in which one half of the box opens to accept scrap, and the other half remains rigid with the “Tuck-and-Fold” flipper. All this plus the dependable, heavy-duty construction found in more expensive shears makes the ABS shear a wise choice for any yard.

Other exclusive features include external gib and knife adjustments, Harris cylinders, an easy-to-service power pack, and Teflon-protected pistons for minimum friction and more hours of trouble-free operation. It processes steel mill scrap, shapes, pipes and plate, no. 2 heavy melting scrap, and selected no. 1 heavy melting scrap.
