Structural engineers? RSJ question.

I want to span 22 feet across the length of my garage at home with an RSJ. The supporting walls i am 100% happy with, but I need to specify the size of the RSJ. Worst case scenario is it must be able to lift, on a block and tackle, 580 kilos in the middle of the (end supported only) span without sagging too much. What size RSJ do I need, it'll be supported on the base of the I on the end walls. Thanks. I'd like it as light as possible (minimum excess capacity) to keep the steel cost down.
