Different industries such as Scrap Handling, Steel Mills, Waste to Energy, and many other material handling facilities including Bulk Transfer Facilities presently using our grabs and buckets to accomplish their tasks.
Peiner's design philosophy has continually revolved around the idea of producing grabs that handle the largest volume rather than grab dead weight. Usually, the grab and bucket lifting ratio's meaning that 60 percent of material is dead weight vs. 40 percent grab dead weight. This translates into transporting greater quantities of supplies quicker. There is less wear and tear on the structure of the crane and its related components. By combining manufacturing with innovative design and high quality materials, the required weight ratio is attained.
Grab sizes will vary from 1 cubic yard or less to more than 50 cubic yards in order to suit the needs of the customer. Peiner USA Inc. also provides a complete spare parts facility and service facility for the models purchased in the USA, along with the addition of new grabs and buckets.
