Note that as indicated in the picture above, a bridge crane wide enough to span a 36' wide shop will have a pretty massive beam, just to support itself, and won't be cheap. A gantry crane on casters may be worth considering and will cost a lot less.



A third option is a jib crane, but they need a substantial footing that has to be designed into the floor.
