Okay thanks for the reply. I got locked out also so I had to change my login. What's with all of this?? Anyway, my shed has a 10' loft that covers half the length, but it has 3/4" plywood on it so that part is not useable. I thought about running some 2x10 across the 12' span, but then you get into the wood twisting and possibly cracking under stress...which could be dangerous.

My point is your building is probably a more rigidly built structure than mine. That's why I've been thinking of a portable steel hoist/lift support that's only 7-8' feet wide and should not buckle if the metal is good enough. I'm not sure which way to go now.
