Within the US marketplace, SMAG/Peiner has been represented by Peiner USA, Inc. Different industries such as Waste to Energy, Scrap handling, Steel Mills, as well as numerous other material handling facilities including Bulk Transfer Facilities currently utilizing our grabs and buckets to get their jobs done.
The design philosophy at Peiner has always revolved around providing grabs that deal with the largest volume of material vs. grab dead weight. The regular handling ratio for Peiner grabs and buckets is about 60/40, meaning material dead weight of 60 percent versus grab dead weight of 40 percent. This translates into moving more quantities of materials quicker. There is less wear and tear on the crane structure and its related components. Through a combination of high quality materials and innovative design with manufacturing, the desirable 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 client. Peiner USA Inc. also provides a complete service facility and spare parts facility for the models sold within the USA, as well as the addition of brand new grabs and buckets.
