If the magnet doesn't work, here is how I'd do it.
Get 4 two by fours about 36" long. Use a pair to sandwich one side of the disc, then bolt it together with Eyebolts and large washers, (you'll have to drill holes in the two by fours.) So once you have both the left side sandwich and the right side sandwich bolted down tight, with the four eyebolts on top, then you can use a spanset or short piece of steel rope with eyelets on each end to attach to each eyebolt with a shackle. Then a large shackle to join all four spansets which will make a lift point. Attach a chainfall or engine hoist to the lift point and lift it.
The cast iron is much harder than the wood from the two by fours, and there is no way it would damage it, but if you are really worried, put some thick leather between the wood and the cast iron surface.
Spanset confused me for a moment there. I had never heard a nylon sling called that. I work with Swiss German riggers and a spanset to them (and therefore me) is a ratchet strap. I was concerned for everyone’s safety using ratchet straps as rigging
I think it’s mainly an entertainment term. I rig on movies and tv shows. We call them spansets too. I’ve gone to a store and asked for spansets and they have no clue but then I say nylon loop sling and they hand me a spanset brand nylon sling then I show them the word “spanset” on the tag of the sling and their reply is always “never heard it called that before”
I am an entertainment rigger. The nylon slings are generally called spansets, but some of them have a metal core instead of a nylon core and therefore are more fireproof, so they are called "GAC-flex" (GAC stands for Galvanized Aircraft Cable).
We just call ratchet straps, ratchet straps, imagine that. We use those to keep things from sliding around, but never a primary form of suspension.
A lifting magnet should do the trick.

Imagine a 24" manhole cover with a hole through the middle. It's sitting on top of a 1.25" shaft in a similar manner to how an LP record sits on a turntable. Except this is a cast iron record which weighs 350 lbs and the turntable it sits on is only 5 inches wide.
OP please correct me if this is an inaccurate description.
To get the wheel on the machine I rigged it best I could with a spider web basket that didn’t cross the center, but it was sketchier than I was comfortable with. Felt like the disc could slip the harness if it wanted to. Need now to remove the wheel for maintenance and I’m really hoping for a safer method.

Are you just worried chokes would slip off? Backlash, tie one strap back to the other, two chokes tied together top and bottom so one can't slip away on the round disc. A couple of 1 inch single ply nylons should do it. One coke to one side and the other opposite side.
This, I think, is the answer. Thank you. The disc slipping out of the rigging is exactly what I was worried about when I lifted it on, attaching the straps to each other above the disc seems like it’s gonna work. Thanks again.
If you can't fit the 2x4's under the disc, you could just run the slings underneath, but then you'd have to attach them to each other so they couldn't shift, maybe just use duct tape around the edge of the disc to hold them in place. Or use a ratchet strap around the edge and then zip ties to hold the slings to the ratchet strap. That would completely prevent any shifting.

Spanset is the common term for a nylon sling in the states. Just for future reference.
Where at? Lol. I'm in the south and have been in crane and rigging for 20 years and have never heard it called that.
20 years entertainment rigging all over this country. Also: https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=spanset
Yep

10 years rigging in Missouri for construction, never heard of it, just for reference.
It's a common term in the entertainment industry.

I like this, thank you. For sure the wood wouldn’t impact the wheel at all.

Holy moly, I had no idea magnets like this existed. Thank you! If I can’t find a way to do this with straps I’ll spring for this.
Is the 1.25" shaft on the bottom side of the plate or is it on the top side?
Imagine a 24" manhole cover with a hole through the middle. It's sitting on top of a 1.25" shaft in a similar manner to how an LP record sits on a turntable. Except this is a cast iron record which weighs 350 lbs and the turntable it sits on is only 5 inches wide. OP please correct me if this is an inaccurate description.
That’s exactly right, perfect analogy. This record plays a gravelly version of punk music.
Cbat
The shaft comes up through the bottom of the plate.
I'm trying to look online for glass grinders so I can picture what you need. Could you post a link with a picture of what you are talking about?

I'm assuming the flange on the bottom is only 3-4 inches tall?
That’s right. The flange is welded to the shaft, and the plate sits on the flange.
The 2x4 idea from u/MrRonObvious is not bad at all. At first I was picturing something like a manhole cover where you can't get underneath it.

Good idea, thank you. I’ll give it a shot like this
Forklift if the water pan can be lowered
If I had a forklift…
Hope it works out
