I will be rigging a butler 26" shaper. It looks like to me it needs to be lifted by the base with flat slings. It can not be lifted by the ram. Any info or photos please.

This is the way I have rigged them. Under the housing where the ram rides on. Not the ram. Up there the center of gravity is lower. Running straps under the whole machine make the center of gravity lower and it will be more likely to tip. If you run straps under the base then be sure to chain the straps at the top to the ram or around the straps so if something slides the chains will catch the straps. The higher you rig anything the better to keep the center of gravity lower. I would do it a bit different using longer straps choked. Plus Im not a big fan of his A-Frame, but it is all I could find.
