The design philosophy at Peiner has always revolved around delivering grabs that deal with the largest volume of material versus grab dead weight. The regular handling ratio for Peiner grabs and buckets is approximately 60/40, meaning material dead weight of 60 percent vs. grab dead weight of 40 percent. This means transporting greater quantities of materials quicker. There is less wear and tear on the structure of the crane and its related components.
