Excavator Auxiliary Hydraulics
Excavator Shear Hydraulic Kits
Add high-flow bidirectional attachment capability with an HKX system engineered around the excavator, tool requirements, control method, connection standard, and field installation.
Discuss This Application
Shear Kits
Two-way high flow for demolition and processing attachments.
HKX Shear kits provide double-acting hydraulic power for tools that must open and close under load. The complete system can include preformed tubing, ball valves, flange connections, controls, electrical components, mounting hardware, and machine-specific instructions.
The published configuration is sized at 60 percent of two-pump flow at approximately 35 feet per second and uses 5,000 PSI-rated hoses. Attachment specifications and excavator capability determine the final flow, pressure, and control setup.
Published HKX Specifications
Understand the standard configuration before final selection.
These legacy HKX values describe the standard kit basis. Final component selection and machine settings require application confirmation.
- Double Acting
- Hydraulic system: two-way oil
- 60% of 2 Pump
- Published sizing at approximately 35 FPS
- 5,000 PSI
- Published hose pressure rating
- Upgradeable
- Supports compatible future configuration changes
Attachment Applications
Support high-flow attachments that work in both directions.
Shear circuits are intended for compatible two-way attachments after operating flow, pressure, return, and auxiliary requirements are confirmed.
Crushers & Pulverizers
Power compatible open/close crushers and concrete pulverizers.
Augers
Operate compatible bidirectional augers, with case drain added where the attachment requires it.
Other High-Flow Tools
Support other two-way high-flow applications after HKX engineering review.
System Features & Options
See how the Shear system comes together.
The published HKX configuration combines machine-specific routing with prepared controls, fittings, valves, clamps, electrical components, and installation guidance.
Configuration details
Controls
Joystick, OEM joystick, or foot pedal.
Recommended Options
Two-pump flow, SAE Code 62 four-bolt flange tubing and hoses, and proportional joystick.
Routing & Connections
Final plumbing, connection style, and any case-drain requirement are selected around the excavator and attachment.
Application & Installation Planning
Match the system to the excavator and attachment.
Accurate machine and attachment details help HKX identify the appropriate circuit, components, controls, routing, and installation support.
-
01
Identify the excavator
Provide the manufacturer, model, serial number, current hydraulic equipment, and any relevant machine options.
-
02
Define the attachment
Confirm the attachment make and model, required functions, flow, pressure, case drain, and connection requirements.
-
03
Select controls and routing
Review operator controls, oil sources, component placement, boom and arm routing, and service-access needs.
-
04
Prepare and support the installation
Use the packaged components and instructions, with HKX technical assistance available for installation and future parts identification.
