SMAG/Peiner has been represented by Peiner USA, Inc. for over 12 years within the United States market place. Different businesses such as Steel Mills, Waste to Energy, Scrap Handling, Bulk Transfer Facilities and numerous other material handling facilities are now using our buckets and grabs to accomplish their tasks.
Peiner's design philosophy has always revolved around the idea of producing grabs that deal with the largest volume rather than 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 greater quantities of materials quicker. The wear and tear on the structure of the crane and its related components is less. By combining manufacturing with innovative design and high quality materials, the weight ration which is required is obtained.
Grab sizes would vary from 1 cubic yard or less to more than 50 cubic yards in order to meet the needs of the client. Peiner USA Inc. also offers a complete spare parts facility and service facility for the units sold within the United States, along with the addition of new grabs and buckets.
