Within the United States marketplace, SMAG/Peiner has been represented by Peiner USA, Inc. Various businesses such as Steel Mills, Waste to Energy, Scrap Handling, as well as numerous other material handling facilities including Bulk Transfer Facilities now utilizing 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 largest volume rather than grab dead weight. Typically, the bucket and grab lifting ratio's meaning that 60 percent of material is dead weight vs. 40 percent grab dead weight. This means moving greater quantities of supplies faster. There is less wear and tear on the crane structure and its related components. By combining manufacturing with high quality materials and innovative design, the weight ration which is desired is obtained.
Grab sizes would vary from 1 cubic yard or less to more than 50 cubic yards in order to suit the needs of the client. Peiner USA Inc. also provides a complete spare parts facility and service facility for the units purchased in the USA, as well as the addition of brand new grabs and buckets.
