That would be M-S-<left> and M-S-<down>, can't you use these keys?

To add your own keys, you can do something like this, in orgtbl-mode- 
hook.

(org-defkey orgtbl-mode-map "\C-cd"
             (orgtbl-make-binding 'org-table-delete-column 1001 "\C- 
cd"))

Note that you need to give the key twice, and the 1001 should be a  
unique number.
Instead of org-defkey, you can use define-key.  org-defkey is the same,
only that it obeys the variable org-disputed-keys.

Looking at the menu, it contains a pretty much complete list of  
commands.
Or how about the refcard?  Pretty complete, too.
