Abstract
A lifting bail adapted to be made integral with a machine having a center of gravity includes a lift eye plate located substantially near the machine center of gravity, a first locator member having openings for locating the lift eye plate substantially near the machine center of gravity and a second locator member having openings for locating the lift eye plates substantially near the machine center of gravity. The openings for locating the lift eye plate relative to the center of gravity are oriented along the first and second locator members so that when the first and second locator members are made integral with the machine, the openings are aligned and thereby provide the location for the lift eye plates substantially near the machine center of gravity.
