Peiner's unique grabs can handle a wide range of products and materials such as iron ores, cement, fertilizers, coke, refuse and scrap. Our numerous years of experience in the overall designing process and in developing high quality products helps to allow our customers be given the proven technology their diverse applications need.
In the US marketplace, SMAG/Peiner has been represented by Peiner USA, Inc. Different businesses such as Waste to Energy, Scrap handling, Steel Mills, as well as numerous other material handling facilities including Bulk Transfer Facilities currently using our buckets and grabs to do their tasks.
The design philosophy at Peiner has always revolved around delivering grabs that deal with the largest 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 translates into moving more quantities of materials faster. The wear and tear on the structure of the crane and its related parts is less. Through a combination of high quality materials and innovative design with manufacturing, the weight ration which is required is obtained.
In order to meet the specific needs of our clients' individual requirements, grab sizes range from less than 1 cubic yard to over fifty cubic yards. Peiner USA Inc. also provides a complete service facility and spare parts facility for the units sold in the United States, along with the addition of new grabs and buckets.
