This review is from: IPT's Crane and Rigging Handbook (Paperback)
For anyone requiring general crane information,this book is well worth the investment. I was surprised by how much information was crammed into this book. Great value for a reasonable price.

Dave,
By Dave (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: IPT's Crane and Rigging Handbook (Paperback)
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars
VERY basic general knowledge text suitable for laypersons,

This review is from: IPT's Crane and Rigging Handbook (Paperback)
This outdated and elementary overview of cranes and rigging is directed toward aspiring beginner-level operators and laypersons and was written at a grade-school level. Garby's text has just undergone a badly needed update: be sure you purchase the newer version. Full of "rules of thumb" that raise doubts as to what references are being used.Professional operators should use their crane manufacturer's manuals, ASME B30 standards, and applicable Federal, State, and Local regulations as references.
