(OP)
How do I calculate impact loads due to lowering a load onto a fixed structure? The load is lowered using a crane.

I am not a structural engineer and I have only limited information.
RE: Impact loads
Here's a reality check: Stopping an object from 0.3 m/s (0.67mph) over a deflection of 1" requires 0.20g's of force. If the deflection is 1/4", then 0.9g's force is required. Add this to your static load and include a safety factor of course.
