SMAG/Peiner has been represented by Peiner USA, Inc. for over twelve years within the United States market place. Various businesses like for instance Steel Mills, Waste to Energy, Scrap Handling, as well as many other material handling facilities including Bulk Transfer Facilities currently using our grabs and buckets to do their jobs.
The design philosophy at Peiner has always revolved around providing grabs which handle the largest volume of material vs. grab dead weight. The regular handling ratio for Peiner buckets and grabs is roughly 60/40, meaning material dead weight of 60 percent versus grab dead weight of 40 percent. This means transporting more quantities of materials faster. There is less wear and tear on the crane structure and its related parts. By combining manufacturing with innovative design and high quality materials, the weight ration which is desired is obtained.
Grab sizes would range from 1 cubic yard or less to over 50 cubic yards in order to meet the requirements of the customer. What's more, Peiner USA Inc. provides a complete service facility and spare parts facility for the units purchased within the USA, as well as the addition of brand new grabs and buckets.
