Our many years of experience in the overall designing process and in manufacturing high quality products helps to allow our customers be given the proven technology their diverse applications demand.
Within the United States marketplace, SMAG/Peiner has been represented by Peiner USA, Inc. Different industries like for instance Steel Mills, Waste to Energy, Scrap Handling, and many other material handling facilities like Bulk Transfer Facilities now relying on our buckets and grabs to get their jobs done.
Peiner's design philosophy has always revolved around the idea of making grabs that handle the biggest volume instead of grab dead weight. Typically, the grab and bucket lifting ratio's meaning that 60 percent of material is dead weight versus 40 percent grab dead weight. This translates into moving more quantities of supplies quicker. There is less wear and tear on the structure of the crane and its related parts. Through a combination of manufacturing with high quality materials and innovative design, the weight ration which is desired is attained.
Grab sizes will range from 1 cubic yard or less to more than 50 cubic yards in order to suit the requirements of the customer. Furthermore, Peiner USA Inc. provides a complete service facility and spare parts facility for the models sold within the USA, as well as the addition of new buckets and grabs.
