“Having been ShearCore’s very first Australian customer back in 2018, we operate a fleet of some 20 Fortress Shears around Australia, which includes the entire range of shears Fortress manufacture. Having worked closely with the ShearCore team since 2018, Liberty Industrial was keen to collaborate with their in-house experts for this challenging project, given the success to date we had with the Fortress shears and the willingness to embrace the ideas and innovations Liberty had for the FS-245R. We knew ShearCore would be the perfect partner to transform our concept into reality, and that the resulting shear would complement our existing fleet, which is being deployed at the largest ongoing demolition project in the Southern Hemisphere.” said Simon Gill, Director of Liberty Industrial.

Design Parameters

Engineered with a focus on strength-to-weight ratio, the FS-245R is designed to be mounted at 20m pin height on Liberty’s fleet of 200t high reach excavators. By reducing the need for manual processing and high-risk dismantling, ShearCore’s design significantly enhances operational safety on large-scale projects, such as the Gove Refinery deconstruction.

This groundbreaking tool is set to revolutionize the demolition industry, exemplifying ShearCore’s expertise in engineering high-performance, safety-oriented equipment.
