The weight limit of a steel beam depends on many factors, including:

1) Unsupported span length of the beam 2) Dead load supported (PSF) 3) Live load supported (PSF) 4) Lateral bracing of beam (in feet) 5) Style of the beam (W, S, C, T) 6) Size and weight of the beam per foot (weight accounts for thickness of steel) 7) Any special point loads that may impact deflection 8) Maximum allowable (or desirable) deflection (in inches). 9) Any pre-specified camber to the beam

With the above information, we can make an estimate for you.
