I would like to put an I Beam support across the width of my shop (40') to use for lifting purposes. (trolley and hoist)I don't really want an A-frame trolley as I fiqure it just takes up too much space. And I like the idea of having a hoist spanning the entire width of the shop. My shop is 40' x 40' with 3 12" I beam trusses joined with 8" C perlins. I'm thinking of welding 12'legs under a 38' beam and standing this up just inside the existing middle truss. Not sure if the existing frame would support a 38' span so I figure I would put support legs under each side. This would also make it easier to erect. I can weld everything up on the shop floor and then lift in place with the backhoe. Any ideas or advice? This is just my shop on the farm and don't intend on lifting anything really heavy but would like at least a 1 ton rating. What size hoists do you guys have in your shops? Thanks Tom

That is well within a
