In the United States marketplace, SMAG/Peiner has been represented by Peiner USA, Inc. Various businesses such as Scrap Handling, Steel Mills, Waste to Energy, Bulk Transfer Facilities as well as many other material handling facilities are now utilizing 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 versus grab dead weight. The typical handling ratio for Peiner grabs and buckets is around 60/40, meaning material dead weight of 60 percent vs. grab dead weight of 40 percent. This translates into transporting greater quantities of materials faster. 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 desirable weight ratio is obtained.
To be able to suit the specific needs of our clients' individual requirements, grab sizes vary from less than 1 cubic yard to over 50 cubic yards. Peiner USA Inc. also offers a complete spare parts facility and service facility for the models sold in the USA, along with the addition of brand new grabs and buckets.
