Peiner's design philosophy has continually revolved around the idea of making grabs that handle the biggest volume instead of 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 greater quantities of materials quicker. There is less wear and tear on the structure of the crane and its related parts. By combining high quality materials and innovative design with manufacturing, the weight ration that is desired is obtained.
In order to meet the specific requirements of our customer's individual needs, grab sizes range from less than 1 cubic yard to more than 50 cubic yards. Furthermore, Peiner USA Inc. provides a complete spare parts facility and service facility for the models sold in the USA, as well as the addition of brand new buckets and grabs.
