Where I work they have lifting beams installed above motors/gearboxes to allow them to be changed quickly and safely to keep any production stoppages to a minimum. I saw a new one yesterday that I don't think will get approved by the insurance inspectors.

and no, the clamps do not bridge the gap in the flange. Stupid thing is, it's sited a bit low to allow a chain block to be used and there's a couple of beams a metre above that it could have been hung from
