Peiner's design philosophy has always revolved around the idea of making grabs which handle the largest volume as opposed to grab dead weight. Normally, the grab and bucket lifting ratio's meaning that 60 percent of material is dead weight versus 40 percent grab dead weight. This means moving more quantities of materials quicker. There is less wear and tear on the structure of the crane and its related components. Through a combination of high quality materials and innovative design with manufacturing, the weight ration which is required is obtained.
In order to suit the specific needs of our clients' individual needs, grab sizes range from less than 1 cubic yard to over fifty cubic yards. Furthermore, Peiner USA Inc. provides a complete spare parts facility and service facility for the units purchased within the United States, along with the addition of brand new buckets and grabs.
