I have a lot of cabinet type wood working machines that range in weight from 300-750 pounds.I need to place them on mobile bases that they have to recess into; with about 1/2 inch of clearance all the way around the base.I have 1000 pound electric hoist to pick them up with but I am trying to figure a way to safety grip them to lift without damaging the sides of the metal cabinet or damaging the cast iron tops. anybody know of a sling or attachment that could do this or suggest a safe way to lift them . Having problems with my back so using muscle power is not an option.

Hey JR,
BTDT... most of my larger machines have "lifting eyes" ...or at least a place to screw them in. 2 large band saws came with eyes installed ...Delta 20" planer came equipped with lifting lugs installed ...DJ30 12" jointer has ample room to get a strap around the main casting ...got a friend to help me lift the unisaw into place. Did 2 20" drill presses and a floor mount mortiser by myself. For most machinery (ie table saw, etc) I wouldn't hesitate to just sling around the top ...the casting is heavy and the motor hangs from it anyways, the cabinet is just there to provide a base for the saw. HTH ...D

Make a frame out of metal or wood, that you attach the straps to, and hang it above the item you're lifting. Then you hook your hoist in the center of the frame and run the straps underneath. If the frame is built wide and long enough, nothing will contact and it will keep the straps from touching the item. It can also be adjustable. I lift cars that way without damage.
