There are sources for information regarding rules for the design of cranes, such as IHS Global Standards. Go to their web site and search for information. The Standards will not be free. See below, as examples

In the US look for the CMAA #70 spec.

Try the following site.

BS 2573 is the crane design spec for UK. It was updated a couple of years ago.

A good source of information on crane rails (not beams) is the Manual of Steel Constructions-Allowable Stress Design- by AISC.

The CISC in Canada has an excellent publication on the design of Crane rail supports. It's available in *.pdf format also and you can likely pick up a copy from their website.
