Different businesses like for instance Waste to Energy, Scrap handling, Steel Mills, Bulk Transfer Facilities as well as many other material handling facilities are now utilizing our buckets and grabs to get their jobs done.
The design philosophy at Peiner has always revolved around providing grabs which handle 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 transporting greater quantities of supplies quicker. There is less wear and tear on the structure of the crane and its related parts. Through a combination of innovative design and high quality materials with manufacturing, the weight ration that is desired is obtained.
To be able to meet the specific needs of our customer's individual requirements, grab sizes vary from less than 1 cubic yard to more than fifty cubic yards. Additionally, Peiner USA Inc. provides a complete service facility and spare parts facility for the units purchased in the USA, as well as the addition of brand new grabs and buckets.
