What's the proper way to lift a mini excavator using a crane?

[USVeteran]

I want to make sure the process is done correctly and in line with safety standards (such as those recommended by Occupational Safety and Health Administration or similar guidelines). Any tips, step-by-step advice, or things to avoid would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Safety protocols can sometimes feel like a lot of "red tape," but they're essentially the difference between a successful project and a trip to the ER.

Since you're looking to stay in line with OSHA-style standards, the biggest thing is having a consistent "pre-flight" routine before you even start the engine or grab a tool.
