How much do you need to design yourself? You can design the individual components and systems as you have noted in your list. Niel Leon engineering.com

Cranes and component have ratings. You can evaluate the individual components and system by looking at the specifications as supplied by the vendor / manufacturer. Then you can back engineer the analysis of the components. Niel
