In the United States marketplace, SMAG/Peiner has been represented by Peiner USA, Inc. Different businesses such as Steel Mills, Waste to Energy, Scrap Handling, Bulk Transfer Facilities as well as many other material handling facilities are currently using our grabs and buckets to accomplish their tasks.
The design philosophy at Peiner has always revolved around delivering grabs which handle the largest volume of material vs. grab dead weight. The standard 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 moving greater quantities of supplies faster. There is less wear and tear on the structure of the crane and its related parts. By combining manufacturing with high quality materials and innovative design, the weight ration which is required is obtained.
To be able to suit the specific requirements of our customer's individual needs, grab sizes range from less than 1 cubic yard to more than fifty cubic yards. What's more, Peiner USA Inc. offers a complete spare parts facility and service facility for the units purchased within the United States, as well as the addition of new grabs and buckets.
