How much load would a W I beam (10"x10") - Web measures approx. .379 and flange approx. .537 27' long supported at both ends. Load would be pulling off the bottom flange at center of beam.
Thanks for the help. |

Without proper support along its length, I do not recommend using this beam for a 27' span. Is there any way to brace it at a few points along its length? |

The beam would be used to make a gantry crane. I could put a gusset in the outer corners in 2 or 3 feet from the ends if it would help any. Have 4400 lb hoist to hang on a trolley running on bottom flang. Have headroom restrictions so hoping to use this 10" beam. Could not find this beam in book so thinking it's not a standard beam but found one at the right price. Just interested in knowing what this beam would be rated at or at what points could it handle how much weight. I could paint the loads on it at the correct points. I would be the only one using it.
