Peiner has manufactured and sold more than 75,000 units for the global market. Peiner's unique grabs could deal with a wide array of products and materials like iron ores, cement, fertilizers, coke, refuse and scrap. Our years of experience in making excellent products and the overall designing process helps to allow our client's receive the proven technology their various applications demand.
Within the United States marketplace, SMAG/Peiner has been represented by Peiner USA, Inc. Various businesses like for example Steel Mills, Waste to Energy, Scrap Handling, Bulk Transfer Facilities as well as numerous other material handling facilities are now relying on our grabs and buckets to accomplish their jobs.
Peiner's design philosophy has continually revolved around the idea of making grabs which handle the largest volume rather than grab dead weight. Typically, the bucket and grab 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. 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 obtained.
In order to meet the specific requirements of our clients' individual requirements, grab sizes range from less than 1 cubic yard to more than 50 cubic yards. Additionally, Peiner USA Inc. provides a complete service facility and spare parts facility for the units sold within the United States, as well as the addition of brand new grabs and buckets.
