We’ve already moved it once on trailer and off, all by sliding it. I want to know how to lift it. Can’t find an op manual which usually has this info. The ram housing didn’t look like an obvious lift point, at rear is held on by only a few small bolts.

Where to attach lifting straps?
 
Op manual doesn't address it like most do. Been a long time but I believe I've moved mine both ways- by nylon slings under the ram, and by same snaked under the table front and gearbox housing rear. It's a pretty light machine as shapers go.

Typical shaper lift is to move the ram so it extends past both front and back end, then soft straps under each end. As for the bolts... a single 1/4" eye bolt in straight tension is rated at 600lbs. If it has four 1/4" bolts, technically you'd be good for 2400lbs with that, alone.
