Our unique grabs handle a range of materials from cement, iron ores, fertilizers, coke, scrap and refuse, among a range of other products. Our many years of experience in the overall designing process and in making high quality products helps to allow our customers be given the proven technology their various applications require.
SMAG/Peiner has been represented by Peiner USA, Inc. for over 12 years in the US market place. Various industries like for example Waste to Energy, Scrap handling, Steel Mills, Bulk Transfer Facilities and many other material handling facilities are now depending on our grabs and buckets to accomplish their jobs.
The design philosophy at Peiner has continually revolved around providing grabs which deal with the biggest volume of material versus grab dead weight. The standard handling ratio for Peiner grabs and buckets is approximately 60/40, meaning material dead weight of 60 percent vs. grab dead weight of 40 percent. This translates into transporting more quantities of supplies quicker. 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 desirable weight ratio is attained.
Grab sizes will vary from 1 cubic yard or less to over 50 cubic yards in order to suit the needs of the customer. Moreover, Peiner USA Inc. offers a complete service facility and spare parts facility for the units sold within the USA, as well as the addition of new buckets and grabs.
