All "I" beam construction,,,,,,

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!!
CAD I agree the beam is hard to move...everytime I do something where it is at I have to move it LOL!!!! The engine hoist is a good option but it is just something setting around that ol clumsy here can trip over! I think the beam I have, after looking up the specs on that page Jon posted, will be adequate for this cause it measures out to those specs. Actually think that is the reason I got it in the first Place...omg memory loss isn't it great???

Typically, the beam will not be the issue, what is supporting it and stabilizing the beam is more of a concern.

Then there is the connections,,,,,, who is doing the welding??

My thought was to use 5" Sch. 80 pipe, which I have, and weld plates top and bottom. The bottom will be anchored to the concrete floor, and there will be 2 outriggers welded to the pipe and also bolted to the floor for lateral stability. As far as the welding goes that will be me and Mr. Lincoln!

It would something similar to this setup only heavier center support and no wheels.

I would incorporate the vertical supports into the wall assembly.
You might want to go a step further and install two jib cranes inline with each other when the beams are lined up.
A buddy of mine did this and can transfer/ run the trolley from one jib to the other jib.
With two jibs on opposite sides he has great coverage of the shop floor.
I doubt what he did would pass an OSHA inspection but it does work excellent.

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.
