It is what I am thinking of doing, using the three point to get into the shop and then chain hoisting it

K, when you said:
"gravel, you think that 4 inch will be enough to support 900 pounds? I am getting a little nervous. I really don't want to drop this thing."
You were talking about how to hang it from the ceiling right?...or did I just totally not pick up on what you were asking?

KVR if you've got any doubts just post a picture and I'll run the numbers. Need to exercise my brain these days. Curious to see what you've come up with.

On phone right now but we have a 131.5 span, 4 inch i beam, 7.35 pounds per foot i , 3/16ths and 2 5/8 flange, 5/16th at the webbing i believe, we are lifting 725 pounds

so we measured and leveled a 2x4 above the work bench
and screwed down a stub piece on top of the shelves on the other side
we positioned the i beam on top spanning the two
we tested the trolley and noticed a 1/8th gap with a lot of fluctuation in the i beam
so we grabbed a lolly column and jacked up the middle of the beam
we drilled and screwed with 5/8ths torque deck screws every foot on each side
I cut some stub pieces
and trimmed the corners of the end so it would go flush with the beam
we tested the chain hoist
and added some blocking so the weight went straight to the slab
newsettler and I are going to test it by lifting the back of the tractor, will report back!
