Engineer wanted!!!
Ok guys, as with all things winter I am getting cabin fever already and we have a ways to go. I am building a new shop come spring/summer and once the shop is done the back portion of it will be my welding and general rippin and tearin section for the cubs. I would like to put an I beam across the span to put a trolly and chain fall in place. The span of that portion of the shop is like 16' and my thoughts were to get two pieces of like 4 or 5 inch pipe and weld plates top and bottom then weld a few outriggers on it for stability. My question is for that span what size IBeam would be ok. now keep in mind I am not gonna be pulling engines out of a truck with this but I do want it heavy enough to handle lifting the tractor up if need be. Thoughts? Ideas? at this point I am open to suggestions!

I don't drive a train, there may be people here who know the formula for that type of thing, but there are also on line calculators for ciphering problems like that.

The internet is a useful tool...............
Use this chart to find the size needed for what you want to lift. http://www.harringtonhoists.com/tech...67%20rev02.pdf Then use this chart to tell you what the I beam size means. http://www.advantagemetalservices.co...ons-chart.html Then call your local steel shop and have a chair handy. You'll $**T at the cost of I beam. From what I see S8X18.4 is about $45.25/ft. So $725 for a hunk that would lift 1000#. If you want to be able to lift 1 ton, then about $951. That's the steel mill's price. I'm sure the local shop will need to make a little on those numbers.

I'll just toss this out for thought, I suggest that you consult a professional structural engineer for this project. Reason I say this is none of us know what the loading is or could be and at what point in the span. For any of us to offer a recommendation could subject us to a potential law suit should something unforeseen happen. Very much like the safety switch issue. You may want to consider something like a moveable gantry crane or an engine hoist with a rating on it. I use and engine hoist with wheels in my shop. That said good luck with your project.

I wonder what my 15 year old 57' x 45' shop would cost today??
 All "I" beam construction,,,,,,  The roll-up door is 18' wide. for scale I have a couple beam clamps, but, have not used them much, because of the loader,,,  I used the beam clamps when I built the building to move the beams. I got a trolley too, but, again, I have found zero need for it,,,,,, in 15 years.An engine hoist might be a better, safer and more convenient option??  That "beam" is hard to move!!

7x 7 redwood posts and 9' apart yellow pine roof 2 x6 joists I put another 2 x6 screwed to the bottom to make it 4 x 6 and 4 x 4 post to jam under in the middle for support then took 2 douglas fir 2 x 12 x10' with angle iron countersunk screwed in the top with a 4 " spacer between them and a home made trolley of shafts and bearings with a eye hook below the beams that I hang a chain hoist from . the beams can move side to side 2 ' . I mostly did import cars 4 -6 cly but it seemed fine on a v8 too hoist rated at 1/2 ton I'll take a pic and post

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
