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.

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!

I think we are good, we actually decided to lift the front and he sat on the cross beam for the bucket and I stood on the bucket with no fluctuation
