I have since put up another crane on the other side of the shop. It is a 16 inch by 5 inch beam but only about 30 lbs per foot or maybe a little less. It is only 22 feet long and has a 3/8 flange instead of the 1/2 inch on the first one. It would support the 2 ton trolley as well but I wouldnt want to go any smaller. It just wouldn't look right but it might work
