A Mahogany, Big Leafed (80% Stress Grade)
3”x14” (64mm x 337 mm actual size), 4.50 meters simple span
supports a hoist located at the center of the span. Taking into
account the weight allowable load on the hoist based on
bending. Assume normal load duration. The beam is
supported on a 2”x4” (50 mm x 100mm) top plate. Lateral
support is provided only at the ends of the member and the
ends are considered pinned.
