Hey guys I have question that I am having difficulty with. I have looked around the web but not found an answer that I can understand.
1. Two walls six feet apart.
2. Two 2x8 with a piece of 3/4 inch plywood sandwiched and glued and nailed together. 2x8's are #1 yellow pine.
3. Will this beam support 1300 lbs in the center between 6 foot walls.
I know there must be away to calculate the safe lifting load . I could put a stiff leg at one end off the wall to shorten the span.
I need to make one lift at 1300 lbs and then use it with a rail for lifts of 2 or 3 hundered lbs max.
Can any one help.
Thanks in advance
