Within the United States marketplace, SMAG/Peiner has been represented by Peiner USA, Inc. Different businesses like for instance Waste to Energy, Scrap handling, Steel Mills, and many other material handling facilities like Bulk Transfer Facilities now depending on our grabs and buckets to accomplish their jobs.
The design philosophy at Peiner has always revolved around providing grabs that handle the largest volume of material versus grab dead weight. The regular handling ratio for Peiner buckets and grabs is approximately 60/40, meaning material dead weight of 60 percent versus grab dead weight of 40 percent. This means moving more quantities of materials faster. The wear and tear on the crane structure and its related components is less. By combining innovative design and high quality materials with manufacturing, the required weight ratio is attained.
In order to suit the particular requirements of our customer's individual requirements, grab sizes vary from less than 1 cubic yard to over 50 cubic yards. Furthermore, Peiner USA Inc. provides a complete service facility and spare parts facility for the models purchased in the USA, as well as the addition of brand new grabs and buckets.
