Removing grand plate

[Paul Plumb]

Dear List,

I need to remove a plate for some work to be done and need to purchase the
equipment to do so.  I can purchase a 3 ton chain hoist (overdone perhaps,
but only $99 CDN).  My shop has steel beams which I can put a chain over to
attach this to.  What would you recommend to attach from the hoist to the
plate and any safety precautions I need to take.
