Hi Tom, Texas Buddy.

40' is too long. I have the engineering facts to bore you with if you prefer, but dude you are digging a hole you don't want to enter.

Best bet is to get a small portable thing like an engine remover or an A frame like (not necessarily) a child's swing platform to do what you want to do.

If you must, the beam needs to be aluminum to reduce the weight of the sucker over that span; but have you ever seen a gantry (which is what you are talking about) crane made from aluminum? No.

Want more, ask,

Mark
