Update from OP (original poster) here:
The actual hoist went very well. I was apprehensive because this was to be the heaviest lift I've done with my 2-ton engine hoist. The lathe only weighs 25% of the specified capacity of the hoist, and I only needed to extend the boom to the 1.5ton (3000lbs) position, but after reading horror stories on the web I was nervous. In the end the hoist didn't even grunt. I installed temporary studs to align the lathe with the mounting holes in the pedestals, which worked extremely well. The hoist straddled the pedestal offset to one side, and only required a little lateral push to lower it onto the studs. The straps and 16,000lb capacity shackle worked very well.
Hi Abrace.
I just bought some cheap metric bolts at the hardware store, cut the heads off and chamfered the corners to make it easier to "hit the target" when lowering the lathe onto them. The bolts I started with were a little longer than the stocks one. Longer would've been better, maybe 1-1/2 times as long.
