Within the US marketplace, SMAG/Peiner has been represented by Peiner USA, Inc. Different industries like for instance Waste to Energy, Scrap handling, Steel Mills, and many other material handling facilities like Bulk Transfer Facilities now using our buckets and grabs to accomplish their jobs.
The design philosophy at Peiner has continually revolved around delivering grabs that deal with the largest volume of material versus grab dead weight. The regular handling ratio for Peiner grabs and buckets is roughly 60/40, meaning material dead weight of 60 percent vs. grab dead weight of 40 percent. This translates into moving more quantities of supplies quicker. There is less wear and tear on the structure of the crane and its related components. By combining manufacturing with innovative design and high quality materials, the required weight ratio is attained.
Grab sizes would range from 1 cubic yard or less to more than 50 cubic yards in order to suit the needs of the customer. What's more, Peiner USA Inc. provides a complete service facility and spare parts facility for the units sold within the United States, as well as the addition of brand new grabs and buckets.
