Lifting a BIG lathe

[MWF FEED]

I’ve acquired a quite big lathe, it’s fairly heavy at just over 3 tonnes, and can’t find any info on how to sling it up to lift it, I can’t see anywhere where a solid bar could be inserted like on other machines, and I think it’s definitely too heavy to lift from the spindle, and my concern with lifting it from the bases is it might roll in the straps. Anyone had much experience with this? Thanks
