Within the United States marketplace, SMAG/Peiner has been represented by Peiner USA, Inc. Different industries such as Scrap Handling, Steel Mills, Waste to Energy, and numerous other material handling facilities including Bulk Transfer Facilities currently relying on our buckets and grabs to do their jobs.
The design philosophy at Peiner has continually revolved around providing grabs that handle the biggest volume of material versus grab dead weight. The typical 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 means transporting more quantities of supplies faster. There is less wear and tear on the crane structure and its related components. Through a combination of manufacturing with high quality materials and innovative design, the weight ration that is required is obtained.
Grab sizes will vary from 1 cubic yard or less to over 50 cubic yards in order to suit the requirements of the client. Peiner USA Inc. also offers a complete service facility and spare parts facility for the units purchased within the United States, as well as the addition of brand new grabs and buckets.
