The simple beams were within a factor of 2 or 3 of just enough, so my gut
says your truss will be plenty - I just can't back it up with numbers
without looking up some stuff. If I get a chance tomorrow at work I'll
try.

Appreciate it. Now's the time to do the numbers. This gives me a clear
span under the lift, converts downward bending to compression, and just
stiffens and strengthens in several ways.
