The design philosophy at Peiner has continually revolved around providing grabs that deal with the biggest volume of material vs. grab dead weight. The standard handling ratio for Peiner grabs and buckets is roughly 60/40, meaning material dead weight of 60 percent versus grab dead weight of 40 percent. This translates into moving greater quantities of materials quicker. The wear and tear on the crane structure and its related parts is less. Through a combination of manufacturing with high quality materials and innovative design, the desirable weight ratio is attained.
