Default 8 inch I-beam - how much will it hold?


not bend if I hook up a hoist to the centre and lift that motor?
Supported on the ends only...

....
Get a trolley for that size beam, and you'd have a nice gantry crane.


I have this exact beam in my garage. I have a trolley for it with a
one ton hand "rolling chain" hoist. Very handy.
