Our numerous years of experience in manufacturing excellent products and the overall designing process helps to allow our client's be given the proven technology their diverse applications require.
Within the US marketplace, SMAG/Peiner has been represented by Peiner USA, Inc. Various industries like for instance Waste to Energy, Scrap handling, Steel Mills, as well as many other material handling facilities like Bulk Transfer Facilities currently relying on our buckets and grabs to get their tasks done.
Peiner's design philosophy has continually revolved around the idea of making grabs which handle the biggest volume instead of grab dead weight. Normally, the grab and bucket lifting ratio's meaning that 60 percent of material is dead weight vs. 40 percent grab dead weight. This means transporting more quantities of supplies faster. There is less wear and tear on the crane structure and its related components. By combining manufacturing with innovative design and high quality materials, the desirable weight ratio is obtained.
To be able to suit the specific needs of our customer's individual needs, grab sizes range from less than 1 cubic yard to more than 50 cubic yards. Peiner USA Inc. also provides a complete service facility and spare parts facility for the models purchased within the USA, as well as the addition of new buckets and grabs.
