The best Crane and Rigging book was revised in 2005 with the addition of 100 new pages, new sections, and a revision of the existing material. The new isbn is 0-920855-01-6. This description may be from another edition of this product.
I actually find this reference to be excellent. First, it encompasses the various types of cranes. Second, it includes rigging as well. I am an engineer, and of course refer to the ASME standard for certain things, but this book is an excellent overall reference to give you ideas and importantly keep you out of trouble in the field. Especially if you do not use a specific crane, with an available owner's manual, but rather deal with any number of types or models of cranes, and rigging, at any given time.
Excellent coverage
