The TorqCut Range
Engineered cold cutting for every onshore job.
Designed and manufactured in the UK using Decom Engineering's proven cutting technology. The TQ Chopsaw range covers 1" to 32" OD, complemented by the TRACS twin recovery & cutting system and the compact Tracksaw linear cutter.
Hydraulic Chopsaw
TQ-24
Best-in-class large-diameter cutting up to 24" OD for demanding campaigns.
View TQ-24Product Benefits
Every TorqCut Chopsaw shares these core advantages, delivering reliable performance across all models.
- Scrap Value Maximisation — clean, burr-free cuts preserve alloy value
- Cold-Cutting Precision — no sparks, fumes, or heat-affected zones
- Excavator Mounted — ideal for construction and demolition environments
- Enhanced Safety — remote operated cutting eliminates operator proximity risk
- Environmental Compliance — low noise and vibration for urban projects
- Flexible Orientation — vertical, horizontal, or angled cuts
Materials Cut
TorqCut Chopsaws are proven across a wide range of onshore pipeline and decommissioning materials.
Compact precision for smaller diameter work
The TQ-10 is the most compact Chopsaw in the TorqCut range, purpose-built for cutting in tight, hard-to-reach locations on decommissioning, piling and demolition sites. Its lightweight design and low flow requirements make it ideal for restricted-access environments and smaller excavators.
Technical Specifications
Key Features
- Compact form factor for tight spaces
- Compatible with 5-tonne excavators
- Cold-cutting — no sparks or heat-affected zones
- Tool-free blade replacement system
Versatile mid-range cutting power
The TQ-16 delivers lightweight cutting power across a 1 to 16 inch envelope, expertly designed for onshore decommissioning, piling and demolition cuts on pipe, tube, rebar and structural sections including hardened steels, stainless, ductile iron and PU coated pipe.
Technical Specifications
Key Features
- Wide cutting range covers most common pipe sizes
- Runs from 8-tonne excavators
- 20–100 cuts per blade depending on application
- Fast blade changes for minimal downtime
Best-in-class performance for large-diameter operations
The TQ-24 is engineered for large-diameter cutting operations up to 24 inches OD. Built for the toughest onshore decommissioning and demolition work, it combines market-leading cut times with proven reliability across multi-shift operations.
Technical Specifications
Key Features
- Handles large-diameter pipe and structures
- High-torque hydraulic system for demanding materials
- Proven blade performance over multiple cuts
- Quick hitch, slew ring, or chain suspension mounting
Heavy-duty cutting capacity for the biggest jobs
The TQ-32 is the flagship of the TorqCut range, delivering best-in-class capacity for materials from 1 to 32 inches. Built for the most demanding cuts on wellheads, casing, large bore pipe, structural steel and reinforced concrete, it features replaceable blade tips to reduce operating cost and downtime.
Technical Specifications
Key Features
- Cuts up to 32-inch OD — the largest in the range
- Replaceable-tip blade design for cost-effective operation
- Built for multi-shift, high-volume cutting campaigns
- Up to 100 cuts per blade depending on application
Beyond the Chopsaw
Specialist cutting systems.
Two purpose-built systems from the Decom Engineering range extend TorqCut beyond rotary chopsaw cutting for specialist recovery and confined-space work.
TRACS-16
A combined cut-and-recover system engineered to sever and lift pipelines in a single controlled operation — handling sections up to 20m long and up to 16" diameter. TRACS pairs a modular beam with a quick-connect Chopsaw and pipe grabs at each end, so a section can be cut and recovered without separate lifting operations.
- Cuts and recovers pipe up to 20m long
- 2”–16" cutting capacity
- 16 Te safe working load on the pipe grabs
- Modular beam design for varying lengths
- Quick-connect system for Chopsaw attachment
- Removes the need for simultaneous cut/lift operations
- Cutting Capacity
- 2″ – 16″ (50–406mm)
- Safe Working Load
- 16 Te
- Max Section Length
- Up to 20m
- Blade Diameter
- 1,040mm
Tracksaw
A compact, high-torque linear saw that travels along a guide track to make precise straight cuts on flat plate, gussets, rib plates and beam sections. Fabricated from high-strength Strenx steel, it cuts both horizontally and vertically and is built for confined spaces where a rotary chopsaw cannot reach.
- Precise linear cuts on plate & structural steel
- Horizontal and vertical cutting
- Compact 350mm track width for tight access
- Cuts up to 150mm thick, 850mm linear length
- Strenx steel construction with travel limit switch
- Customisable clamping for secure attachment
- Cutting Track Width
- 350mm
- Max Cut Thickness
- 150mm
- Max Linear Cut Length
- 850mm
- Blade Diameter
- 750mm TCT
