Wall Lifting Brackets

I was just reading something that jogged a memory of back in the day, using the forklift and straps to boom wall panels onto place. We had some brackets welded that did a really good job...I never found out if they would have been OSHA approved but they looked like this.

Looks good, just one question. Would you want the lift point on the end like that or centered in the bracket? Then your wall would fly straight up an down instead of at a slight angle.

Through trial and error we found it best to locate the ring on the open end. When someone doesn't nail the bottom nail correctly, the thing can slip off the plates...the repositioned ring added more safety to the whole process and the walls still hung vertically (calc out 9' run...2" rise...near vertically.)
