The design philosophy at Peiner has always revolved around delivering grabs that handle the biggest volume of material versus grab dead weight. The regular handling ratio for Peiner grabs and buckets is about 60/40, meaning material dead weight of 60 percent vs. grab dead weight of 40 percent. This translates into moving more quantities of supplies faster. There is less wear and tear on the structure of the crane and its related components. By combining manufacturing with high quality materials and innovative design, the weight ration which is required is obtained.
