The design philosophy at Peiner has always revolved around providing grabs which handle the biggest volume of material versus grab dead weight. The typical handling ratio for Peiner buckets and grabs is roughly 60/40, meaning material dead weight of 60 percent vs. grab dead weight of 40 percent. This means transporting more quantities of supplies faster. The wear and tear on the structure of the crane and its related parts is less. Through a combination of innovative design and high quality materials with manufacturing, the desirable weight ratio is obtained.
