Within the US marketplace, SMAG/Peiner has been represented by Peiner USA, Inc. Various businesses such as Steel Mills, Waste to Energy, Scrap Handling, Bulk Transfer Facilities as well as numerous other material handling facilities are presently utilizing our grabs and buckets to do their jobs.
Peiner's design philosophy has always revolved around the idea of making grabs which handle the largest volume rather than grab dead weight. Normally, the grab and bucket lifting ratio's meaning that 60 percent of material is dead weight vs. 40 percent grab dead weight. This translates into moving greater quantities of supplies quicker. There is less wear and tear on the crane structure and its related components. By combining innovative design and high quality materials with manufacturing, the weight ration that is desired is obtained.
Grab sizes would vary from 1 cubic yard or less to over 50 cubic yards in order to meet the needs of the customer. Peiner USA Inc. also provides a complete service facility and spare parts facility for the models purchased within the USA, as well as the addition of brand new buckets and grabs.
