Larger bodies can be lifted by use of a fabricated "H" frame or other appropriately shaped frame that will overhang the sides or the body enough to utilize straps at each corner and middle of the sub frame. The frame can be made of tubing or even wood members if properly designed. A person doesn't want it to be too heavy. It may take more than a cherry picker though. An overhead hoist of some type may be a better choice unless a person has a very large cherry picker boom & frame.

If a person lifts through body openings, a spreader should be used between the straps to keep them from putting the squeeze on the body framework. I generally avoid lifting this way. Most body structures should be lifted from the base of floor structure unless it is rotted away. In that case its not a bad idea to weld some support tubing inside the body so it will hold its shape better and not do any further damage.
