General Lifting Query

[Guy77]

Hi All,

Trying to calculate max load that a timber frame could take if lifted, without casuing any major deflection or deformation.

Frame is 8000x4000mm made from 50x150 C24 Joists, properly joined, with 600 centre cross timbers and noggins at 1200 centres. See attached pic.

This is then covered with 9mm OSB.

If lifting supports were placed under the frame at suitable intervals (say six beams at 1200 centres starting at 600mm), what is the max this could lift? I am not concernaed about counting any point loads on the OSB, just whether the frame would buckle etc.

TIA

This is way over a discussion. If you want a reliable answer, you should hire an engineer to design etc.

Agree with Jstruct, you appear to be over your head with some of these questions that you have submitted, but I am curious, what is a 'noggin'?

but I am curious, what is a 'noggin'?

Noggins are blocking between studs. A term used in British Commonwealth countries.

The frame appears to be lifted in the pics without buckling?

I doubt anyone ever calculates these things. Most contractors just figure it out as they go.
