Rand,
You might try looking at ASME B30.20, "Design of Below-the-Hook Lifting Devices" and, in addition, search the net for the following two papers:
- Design/Evaluation of Overhead Lifting Lugs by Clement Rajendra
- Design and Construction of Lifting Beams by David Ricker

What is the authoritative resource for lifting, in particular where do I
find load factor to use to proportion the sizes of members of structures to
be lifted.
TIA,
Rand
