The Famous Uni-Hydro Bar Shear
For four-decades Uni-Hydro has focused on developing the best performing bar shear in the Ironworker market and there are two major reasons why customers should choose Uni-Hydro ironworkers over the competition. First, we offer an un-matched 3-Year warranty on all four sides of bar shear blades. Second, our patented linkage design sets our ironworkers apart from our competition by offering superior power performance.
The 3-Year Blade Warranty
Uni-Hydro offers a 3-year warranty on the four sides of your bar shear blade with every purchase of a new Uni-Hydro machine. No other competitor offers the same.
Uni-Hydro has clients stating their bar shear is still cutting as clean as the day it was purchased, even after 10 years in service. If you have an ironworker that is not a Uni-Hydro machine, you probably have the bar blade sharpened or purchase new ones regularly. Just in blade life alone on a single side, not using one of the other three sides to our Uni-Hydro 4 sided bar shear blades, you can save thousands of dollars with a Uni-Hydro bar shear blade. You make the call. Do you want to be held hostage by your ironworker or do you want a worry free, cost saving, Uni-Hydro four sided bar shear blade?(WHY DO THE BLADES LAST SO LONG?)
Maintaining a Uni-Hydro bar shear blade
Not much
Maintaining a NON-Uni-Hydro bar shear blade
Down time for the machine when you are not able to use it on a job.
Removal and replacement of the bar shear blade.
Sending a blade out to be sharpened or tackling it yourself with the potential for an uneven edge.
Sometimes additional special tooling costs.
Replacement parts costs.
Potential for wearing out the mounts for a blade by constantly going into and out of this area.
2. Our Shears Gain Power Through The Cut
no competitors can match our bar shear performance
The Ironworker Bar Shear is the main component that drives the overall design of any Ironworker and since there are many philosophies for shearing metal, that’s why some ironworkers use a scissor design and some use various linkage designs. Uni-Hydro’s innovative linkage design creates a high-performing shearing action that actually gains power up to 115% through the cut, setting us apart from all our competitors.
Our heavy-duty weldments tightly support the shear blade through the cut to prevent spreading of the blades, which is the main force for dulling blades. This differentiation reflects the quality design of every Uni-Hydro Ironworker that is engineered and built in the USA.
Our impressive Plate Shear machines employ their own patented linkage design to achieve the same power gain performance over the length of the blade during cuts. While our competitors lose power toward the end of a cut, our plate shears power on through!
