Shop mono rail
(OP)
I can understand the aprehension to answer this question so if someone could point me in the direction to figure this out I will do that also.
I want to put a mono rail in my shop. However I want the mono rail to also be able to travel left and right. So in essence I would have two rails plus the mono rail.
The shop is 20x20. What size beams would I need to be able to support at a max 5000 lbs. This is actually over doing it but there may be a once in a life time to use it for 5000 lbs.

Good Luck!
