In the Research Building, the Engine Builders for our Dyno Projects had a trolley just
like you described. Had to be 40+ years old.
Basically it had the capability to move a completed engine anywhere between 4 engine
build-up areas in the room. Room was 80 feet (left to right) when you entered the room.
Room was 40 feet from the "door" to the "windows wall" opposite the entry door.
Been done before. Engine Build lab was built in the early 1960s.
The lift could service any part of the room. The 4 "Build Tables" were 6 feet x 6 feet for
the work table surface of each build table. The trolley was moved about the room by
hidden pull cables and there was the basic lift that toad on the trolley beam.

Looks like the Research design is exactly what you need.
