I am looking to build a portable aluminum gantry with a total capacity of 5 ton with two lifting points (2.5 on each). The total beam span would be about 10'. We need to know what size and type of I-beam would be most suitable along with the alloy since there are so many different types. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.....

I'm thinking this would be a welded beam. I recommend you get a PE to do the calulations and certify the design for you.

The worst suggestion of your lifetime may be the catalyst to the grandest idea of the century, never let suggestions go unsaid nor fail to listen to them.
