Different businesses like for instance Steel Mills, Waste to Energy, Scrap Handling, Bulk Transfer Facilities and numerous other material handling facilities are presently utilizing our buckets and grabs to get their tasks done.
The design philosophy at Peiner has continually revolved around providing grabs which deal with the biggest volume of material vs. grab dead weight. The regular handling ratio for Peiner buckets and grabs is about 60/40, meaning material dead weight of 60 percent versus grab dead weight of 40 percent. This means moving more quantities of materials quicker. There is less wear and tear on the crane structure and its related parts. By combining manufacturing with innovative design and high quality materials, the weight ration that is required is attained.
Grab sizes will range 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 offers a complete service facility and spare parts facility for the models sold within the USA, along with the addition of new grabs and buckets.
