Different businesses like for instance Waste to Energy, Scrap handling, Steel Mills, Bulk Transfer Facilities and numerous other material handling facilities are currently depending on our grabs and buckets to do their tasks.
The design philosophy at Peiner has always revolved around delivering grabs which handle the largest volume of material vs. grab dead weight. The standard handling ratio for Peiner buckets and grabs is around 60/40, meaning material dead weight of 60 percent versus grab dead weight of 40 percent. This means transporting more quantities of materials faster. There is less wear and tear on the crane structure and its related parts. Through a combination of manufacturing with innovative design and high quality materials, the required weight ratio is obtained.
In order to suit the particular requirements of our clients' individual requirements, grab sizes vary from less than 1 cubic yard to over fifty cubic yards. Additionally, Peiner USA Inc. offers a complete spare parts facility and service facility for the models sold within the United States, along with the addition of new grabs and buckets.
