CMAA 70 "Specification for Top Running Bridge & Gantry Type Multiple Girder Electric Overhead Traveling Cranes.
CMAA 74 "Specification for Top Running & Underhung Single Girder Electric Traveling Cranes Utilizing Under Running Trolley Hoist"
The CMAA documents cover design of the crane with guidelines for structural, mechanical and electrical.
ASCE Design Guide 7 Part 2 covers design of buildings supporting overhead traveling cranes and their runway girders.
AISC offers a spread sheet (for educational purposes it states) Using AISC Design Guide 7 to design crane runway girders. It can be downloaded at htt
The steel mill industry puts out their own documents on design of cranes and buildings because their cranes often have rougher service.
AISE Tech Report No. 6 "Specification for Electric Overhead Traveling Cranes for Steel Mill Service"
AISC Tech Report No. 13 "Guide for the Design and Construction of Mill Buildings"
