Within the United States marketplace, SMAG/Peiner has been represented by Peiner USA, Inc. Different industries such as Waste to Energy, Scrap handling, Steel Mills, as well as many other material handling facilities including Bulk Transfer Facilities now using our buckets and grabs to get their jobs done.
Peiner's design philosophy has always revolved around the idea of making grabs that deal with the biggest volume instead of grab dead weight. Typically, the bucket and grab lifting ratio's meaning that 60 percent of material is dead weight versus 40 percent grab dead weight. This translates into transporting more quantities of materials faster. The wear and tear on the crane structure and its related parts is less. By combining high quality materials and innovative design with manufacturing, the weight ration that is required is obtained.
To be able to suit the particular needs of our customer's individual requirements, grab sizes range from less than 1 cubic yard to over fifty cubic yards. Also, Peiner USA Inc. provides a complete spare parts facility and service facility for the models sold in the USA, along with the addition of brand new buckets and grabs.
