Genesis adds new shears to XT Mobile line

Genesis Attachments, Superior, Wisconsin, has added the GXT 225, GXT 1555 and GXT 2055 straight and rotator models to its line of XT mobile shears.

With the number of models now at 18, the XT Mobile Shear line fits 25,000- to 625,000-pound excavators.

Designed to be shorter in length and height and lighter in weight, the XT features a center of gravity that is closer to the excavator, enabling models to mount on excavators that previously could only carry smaller, less powerful shears, Genesis says.

The XT also features an apex, where most of the cutting is done, that is closer to the back of the jaws. Genesis says this improves material gathering and increases cutting performance and efficiency while reducing maintenance.
