SMAG/Peiner has been represented by Peiner USA, Inc. for more than 12 years within the United States market place. Different industries such as Steel Mills, Waste to Energy, Scrap Handling, Bulk Transfer Facilities and numerous other material handling facilities are currently using our grabs and buckets to accomplish their tasks.
The design philosophy at Peiner has continually revolved around providing grabs that handle the biggest volume of material vs. grab dead weight. The typical handling ratio for Peiner grabs and buckets is about 60/40, meaning material dead weight of 60 percent versus grab dead weight of 40 percent. This means moving more quantities of materials quicker. The wear and tear on the crane structure and its related parts is less. By combining high quality materials and innovative design with manufacturing, the desirable weight ratio is attained.
To be able to meet the specific requirements of our clients' individual requirements, grab sizes range from less than 1 cubic yard to over fifty cubic yards. Moreover, Peiner USA Inc. offers a complete spare parts facility and service facility for the units sold in the USA, along with the addition of brand new buckets and grabs.
