Subsea shear cutters engineered for demanding offshore cutting operations
Subsea shear cutters from Ashtead Technology support high-volume cutting operations across offshore decommissioning, renewables, oil and gas, and marine construction projects. Available from global locations and ready for deployment, our fleet delivers safe, efficient and reliable cutting performance across a wide range of subsea structures and materials.
Our range includes systems from ½Te baby shears to 20Te hydraulic shear cutters. As a result, operators can select the most effective solution for each application, whether working in shallow-water or deepwater environments.
Why choose Ashtead Technology?
Our subsea shear cutters support a wide range of offshore cutting activities. For example, conductor removal, pipeline cutting, jacket dismantling, cable severance and umbilical recovery.
In addition, the fleet offers flexible deployment options and a broad range of cutting capacities. Consequently, project teams can configure the right solution for both shallow-water and deepwater operations.


Advanced blade technology
Our hydraulic shear cutters incorporate proprietary blade technologies that maximise cutting efficiency. These designs tackle high-strength materials, complex subsea bundles and demanding offshore applications with confidence.
Our hydraulic shear cutters incorporate various blade technologies that maximise cutting efficiency. These designs tackle high-strength materials, complex subsea infrastructure and demanding offshore applications with confidence.
Ashtead Technology’s can also utilise an inhouse design-registered point geometry blade ‘Bat Blade’ that initiates cutting through centre-point penetration before compression. This innovation improves cutting success and delivers enhanced performance on duplex and exotic materials.
