SMAG/Peiner has been represented by Peiner USA, Inc. for over 12 years in the US market place. Various businesses like for instance Steel Mills, Waste to Energy, Scrap Handling, Bulk Transfer Facilities as well as many other material handling facilities are now using 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 biggest volume instead of grab dead weight. Normally, the bucket and grab lifting ratio's meaning that 60 percent of material is dead weight vs. 40 percent grab dead weight. This translates into moving more quantities of supplies quicker. The wear and tear on the crane structure and its related parts is less. By combining innovative design and high quality materials with manufacturing, the desirable weight ratio is obtained.
Grab sizes will vary from 1 cubic yard or less to over 50 cubic yards in order to suit the needs of the customer. Furthermore, Peiner USA Inc. offers a complete service facility and spare parts facility for the units sold in the USA, as well as the addition of brand new buckets and grabs.
