Look for advice on how to carry out the rigging on this Cincinatti hydromatic mill for lifting with a crane.
I cannot see any holes in the castings to place bars thru it from the photos. The machine ways approximately 5t.
This machine basically looks like a single sided duplex head machine.

I see vertical voids in the base in front of the table. Are they open at the bottom? Are there similar ones behind the table?
If so, I think I would drop chains through them and back up. Be careful to balance and bridle them so the machine cannot somersault.
