looking for lifting equipment information
(OP)
Hi to all
I am looking for a comprehensive handbook/books/guides dealing with lifting equipment information (lifting capacities formulas,testing loads and practical/field methods).
In lifting equipment I distinguish between two levels:
1)level a= shakles,hooks,eye-bolts,rings,chains,cables etc 2)level b= monorails,bridge-crains,gib-crains,gate/gantry-crains,lifting fork trucks,mobile-crains,jacks,vehicles-lifts etc.
if there is not such H.B please reccomand books,else - reccomand usefull guides,standards.
thanks for all the repliers.

MIL-STD-209J:

DOE-STD-1090:

Look in the ASME B30 series too
RE: looking for lifting equipment information
I found out that arto's information is usefull especially 1090 std, (i already have Bob's rigging H.B), but still i did not find what i realy need -the apropriate H.B/book which brings the exact formulas determine the rated capacities and stresses of the lifting equipment mentioned above, and the field/practical/rules of thumb to do so. To make myself clear, i need tools to determine the rated capacities of the listed lifting equipment where no papers are exsist. Let me say for example that i need to determine the rated capacity of bridge-crane or monorail, is the rated capacity should be derived from the rope/chain dia. or from the beam size and stresses, or from mounting bolts to the structure, or from stability criteria in other cases (such as gib/mobile-cranes/forklift-truck)???
thanks for all repliers
