SMAG/Peiner has been represented by Peiner USA, Inc. for over twelve years in the United States market place. Different industries like for example Steel Mills, Waste to Energy, Scrap Handling, Bulk Transfer Facilities as well as numerous other material handling facilities are currently using our buckets and grabs to do their tasks.
The design philosophy at Peiner has always revolved around delivering grabs that deal with the largest volume of material versus grab dead weight. The standard handling ratio for Peiner buckets and grabs is around 60/40, meaning material dead weight of 60 percent versus grab dead weight of 40 percent. This translates into moving greater quantities of materials faster. There is less wear and tear on the structure of the crane and its related components. Through a combination of innovative design and high quality materials with manufacturing, the required weight ratio is obtained.
Grab sizes would range from 1 cubic yard or less to more than 50 cubic yards in order to suit the requirements of the customer. Peiner USA Inc. also provides a complete service facility and spare parts facility for the models sold within the United States, along with the addition of new buckets and grabs.
