Our years of experience in manufacturing high quality products and the overall designing process helps to allow our customers be given the proven technology their various applications demand.
In the US marketplace, SMAG/Peiner has been represented by Peiner USA, Inc. Different businesses such as Steel Mills, Waste to Energy, Scrap Handling, as well as numerous other material handling facilities like Bulk Transfer Facilities currently relying on our buckets and grabs to accomplish their jobs.
Peiner's design philosophy has always revolved around the idea of producing grabs that deal with the largest volume instead of grab dead weight. Typically, the bucket and grab lifting ratio's meaning that 60 percent of material is dead weight vs. 40 percent grab dead weight. This means 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 required weight ratio is attained.
In order to suit the specific needs of our customer's individual requirements, grab sizes range from less than 1 cubic yard to over fifty cubic yards. Peiner USA Inc. also offers a complete service facility and spare parts facility for the units sold in the United States, along with the addition of brand new buckets and grabs.
