    With or without the OSB you can run lag bolts from the under belly up in to the floor joists. There has to be fasteners holding the OSB to the joists. Put the lag bolts in the same line where those fasteners are, that should be the joists.
    Take the picture I drew. That is the view underneath the house looking up. Use lag bolts not straight bolts.
    I used a straight bolt because I don't have a lag bolt, just to show washers.

    I helped move a house about 30 years ago. It sat on beams like you have. But had two sets of tandem dollies that the beams sat on. But the house itself just sat on the beams. The house only went about 5 miles and it took most of the day to move it. Very slow and had to take down power lines as we went.

    Picture is from my basement looking at underbelly of house.
    This is how the factory fastens house to frame. Washer can be any size or shape random thickness. Doesn't really matter as long as it holds.

    I’m in the portable building industry which sounds like that’s what you saw, they get straps over the skids and those are hard to see unless you’re up close looking under the building. There’s a few guys that throw straps over top of the whole shed but they’re the laughing stock of the industry.

    Funny you mention that, a farmer I worked for had a large grain bin moved about 12 miles as a military training exercise….he had pictures of the bin hanging from the helicopter as it approached its new home. It was probably in the 80s I can’t remember and don’t know that I ever knew…. Guess it’s all about who you know.

    Can you drill holes horizontally in the beams and put in eye bolts to attach cable or strap hooks to?
