Agricultural Tyre Shear

Engineering and Design

The Agricultural Tyre Shear has been designed by Gradeall’s in-house design and engineering team at the manufacturing facility in Dungannon, Northern Ireland. The result is a robust, well-engineered machine capable of slicing through the largest agricultural tyres without difficulty.

Gradeall’s in-house team uses Finite Element Analysis during the design process, ensuring the shear is built to withstand the forces required to repeatedly and reliably cut through thick, reinforced tyre walls. This is not a light-duty machine; it’s built for sustained production use.

For more information on Gradeall’s wider range of tyre recycling equipment, including sidewall cutters and OTR processing solutions, the full product range is available on the Gradeall website.

Operator Safety

Safety is built into the design of the Agricultural Tyre Shear from the ground up. The machine includes:

• Integrated safety guards
• Two-handed operation controls
• Emergency stop buttons

The two-handed operation requirement means the operator’s hands must be clear of the cutting zone before the machine cycles, removing a significant risk factor from what would otherwise be a high-force, high-hazard task.

Stationary and Portable Options

The Agricultural Tyre Shear is available in two configurations to suit different operational requirements.

The stationary version suits fixed recycling facilities, collection depots, or agricultural merchants handling a consistent volume of large tyres on site. The portable version includes an integrated engine, making it suitable for remote locations where mains power isn’t available, such as farm collections, rural recycling events, or mobile processing operations.

This flexibility means the shear can be deployed wherever the tyres are, rather than requiring tyres to be transported to a fixed processing site first.
