Peiner's design philosophy has continually revolved around the idea of making grabs which deal with the biggest volume rather than grab dead weight. Usually, the grab and bucket lifting ratio's meaning that 60 percent of material is dead weight vs. 40 percent grab dead weight. This means transporting more quantities of supplies quicker. There is less wear and tear on the structure of the crane and its related parts. By combining manufacturing with high quality materials and innovative design, 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. Peiner USA Inc. additionally provides a complete service facility and spare parts facility for the models purchased in the USA, along with the addition of new buckets and grabs.
