I am installing a small I beam trolley in my work shop that can lift a 1000#
max size of beam is important because of head space so I am looking for
information on length and sizing and capacity of beams

Ed

length of beam and method of supporting said beam are pretty big
factors , a four inch i beanm will carry that load if properly supported

free-ware , just google beam-boy
