When the grading process is taking place, the workers place the live lobsters onto a scale one by one. The lobsters are then placed into a crate with a distinguished tag on it to indicate the name of a specific weight class.
The weight classes go in order as such; Chix, Quarters, Halves, 1.75-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-6, and 6-9. Not all dealers have the same requests so there are also alternate classes such as; CQH, 2-4, 6+/Jumbo, B1-2, B2-4, Cull and Processor(weak).
