A search of this website using the word "crane" should help you locate previous threads regarding the subject.  It has been discussed a few times.

Hello ryantales, you can find examples of "lifting plans" at WSH-COUNSIL ( LiftingPlanGuidelines.pdf ).
I would also search at BECHTEL the Rigging Handbook ( Bechtel_Rigging_Handbook_2nd_edition_Part_1[1].pdf ).
 
For the AutoCAD cranes files there are some here in the site ( CAD/BIM Blocks ), launch a search with the word crane.
I have personally placed some AutoCAD files here and others are available eventually.
For the lifting accessories you can find at THE CROSBY GROUP AutoCAD files and I have uploaded here in the site files regarding this compiling different files in one like for shackles, etc...
 
If you want/can pay for it there are plan and elevation views for 65 dollars each in : http://www.tdkv.com" rel="nofollow - www.tdkv.com .
 
Some crane builders are giving their AutoCAD files like LIEBHERR, TADANO, and some are not but :
 
MANITOWOC-GROVE is providing a very useful software : PADLOADS ( free and safe ) that will calculate the padloads that you need if you install your crane on bridges or other "light" areas.
PADLOADS ( if you learn how to use it ) will validate your cranes configurations, etc...
Ask for more if needed.

Hello Vini-SA, thanks for your thanks.
Do you have any complementary information about lifting, lifting plans, cranes, accessories, etc... ?
I'm still in need for technical information and correct technical literature in English...

See if some of this helps Philippe; Just take the relevant code, punch it in your search engine and it should give you a pdf to download.
