Various industries such as Scrap Handling, Steel Mills, Waste to Energy, Bulk Transfer Facilities and numerous other material handling facilities are currently utilizing our buckets and grabs to do their jobs.
Peiner's design philosophy has continually revolved around the idea of making grabs that deal with the biggest volume rather than grab dead weight. Normally, the bucket and grab lifting ratio's meaning that 60 percent of material is dead weight vs. 40 percent grab dead weight. This translates into transporting more quantities of supplies quicker. There is less wear and tear on the crane structure and its related parts. Through a combination of manufacturing with high quality materials and innovative design, the desirable weight ratio is attained.
Grab sizes will range from 1 cubic yard or less to more than 50 cubic yards in order to meet the requirements of the customer. Peiner USA Inc. also offers a complete spare parts facility and service facility for the models sold in the USA, along with the addition of brand new buckets and grabs.
