Doubled 2x12s might be OK ... I broke several of my singles that way.

FWIW, the "non-folding" shop hoist from HF comes apart with minimal hassle into
3 major sections, each of which I can handle myself.  I then stand it in the
corner (against the folding trailer I keep there) and tie it up (for earthquake
protection) ... it takes very little room.
