looking for lifting equipment information

looking for lifting equipment information

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.

RE: looking for lifting equipment information

What readily accessible sources have you exhausted? Did you at least do an Internet search, and if so, what were the results of your searches, either on the Internet or in your own library, the libraries of your co-workers, or the libraries of the local universities?

RE: looking for lifting equipment information

There is a lot of reference material on both level 1 & 2 subjects. Engineering Handbooks abound with such info.  Manufacturers also publish their own engineering manuals available to the public normally free of charge.

Hi,
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
