The design philosophy at Peiner has always revolved around providing grabs that deal with the largest volume of material versus grab dead weight. The regular handling ratio for Peiner buckets and grabs is about 60/40, meaning material dead weight of 60 percent vs. grab dead weight of 40 percent. This means moving more quantities of materials quicker. There is less wear and tear on the structure of the crane and its related components. By combining innovative design and high quality materials with manufacturing, the weight ration that is required is obtained.
Grab sizes would vary from 1 cubic yard or less to over 50 cubic yards in order to meet the needs of the customer. Peiner USA Inc. also provides a complete service facility and spare parts facility for the models sold in the USA, along with the addition of brand new grabs and buckets.
