"Jump" shear?
Do you jump on the bar to operate it?
It looks like a job for the fattest man in the shop.

They're also called Foot Shears. If you're cutting near the shear's capacity, yes you jump on the bar.
You've never heard of these?

The rotary lock on the table, for the stock, looks like DiAcro stuff, but I am only familiar with their small bench top units.
Step Shear, Stomp Shear, Jump Shear, depends on how hard you are pushing their limits, eh? And whether you are a 87 pound kid, or a 200+ pound dude!

It looks like the whole machine is fabricated from steel, including the bed. That's a bit unusual I think?
I have used a 4ft foot-operated guillotine (Edwards) quite a bit over the years. Not only do you jump on it, it pays to have two of you jumping at the same time when you are shearing full width 16G or 18G steel. You don't want your cut to stop half way through...maybe it needed sharpening too.

Well, I have known of foot shears. But jump shear was a new one for me. You learn something every day.

They usually have outriggers extending the footprint back past the stomp bar. Keeps it upright when the 2 big guys jump on it.

Economy shears are all steel, no castings. I have one. But I haven't seen an Economy with that dropped center top plate.

It looks like the return springs are enclosed in vertical steel tubes, quite neat and maybe distinctive?
Niagara had their springs in a similar location but the only photos I have are of older cast iron models with exposed springs.
