The design philosophy at Peiner has always revolved around providing grabs that handle the largest volume of material vs. grab dead weight. The typical handling ratio for Peiner buckets and grabs is around 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 innovative design and high quality materials with manufacturing, the weight ration that is required is attained.
Grab sizes would range from 1 cubic yard or less to more than 50 cubic yards in order to suit the needs of the client. Additionally, Peiner USA Inc. provides a complete service facility and spare parts facility for the models sold in the USA, as well as the addition of brand new buckets and grabs.
