Our unique grabs handle a variety of materials from cement, iron ores, coke, fertilizers, scrap and refuse, among a range of other things. Our many years of experience in the overall designing process and in manufacturing excellent products helps to allow our customers be given the proven technology their various applications need.
Within 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 many other material handling facilities including Bulk Transfer Facilities currently utilizing our buckets and grabs to accomplish their jobs.
The design philosophy at Peiner has continually revolved around providing grabs which deal with the largest volume of material versus grab dead weight. The regular handling ratio for Peiner grabs and buckets is roughly 60/40, meaning material dead weight of 60 percent versus grab dead weight of 40 percent. This translates into moving more quantities of supplies faster. There is less wear and tear on the crane structure and its related parts. Through a combination of manufacturing with high quality materials and innovative design, the weight ration that is required is attained.
In order to meet the particular requirements of our customer's individual needs, grab sizes vary from less than 1 cubic yard to over fifty cubic yards. Peiner USA Inc. also offers a complete spare parts facility and service facility for the models purchased within the USA, along with the addition of new grabs and buckets.
