ASME B30.20

(OP)
This may be a strange question as i'm writing from Australia but has anyone had to compare Australian Standard AS1418 - Cranes & Winches to the American Std shown above. I am particularly looknig for a copy of the American Std which so far appears hard to get here. i am particularly interested from the point of view of design calcs, safety factors, etc relating to "Below the Hook lifting devices"

Thanks
