Did not see this below, sounds like you need a hoist arrangement for a shop. With that in mind, guessing is not a good approach ( no one wants to hear that LOL ) Also sounds like a case of having the material on hand already and you would like to make it work, which it may, but it would certainly pay to have it analyzed, rated with a safety factor included, vs. exceeding the load and it subsequently deflecting beyond it's limits and failing with people under it. If you can provide all the details to an engineer, you should be able to get an accurate answer, you need to dimension everything, provide fastening/connection details and also the size of the columns or wall that it will bear on, right to the footing.

That is a significant span. I know if it were me and I did not know but had to do it, I'd be placing temporary shores on either side of the pick to reduce the span, then stow em away later, ( but you did not hear that from me LOL ! )
