What rsj profile for 2t lift, 6m long

[tonyb_cbg]

Hi guys,
I need to have a 2t lifting capacity from a rsj trolley. The beam will have 6m span.
Can anyone help on the rsj profile required?
Many thanks,
Tony

Plenty of online calculators available to work out the beam deflection.

6m clear span no supports other than at the ends ?
Have you tried the BeamBoy program online ?

It'll be big - something like 305 x 102 x 25kg/m Universal Beam as a minimum (assuming d/600 max deflection), but find out what max deflection you're allowed for your application (it varies) and plug the numbers into a few beam calculators.
