Here's a picture I snapped of a ships crew unloading a 3100 pond tank full of *****, using some old nylon rope...
I ran out from cover long enough to take a picture... the guy working the crane assured me the rope was certified for 6000 ponds, but after unloading the second tank the rope had melted a little in some spots...
needless to say, I kept my distance and hid till the tank was about a foot of the ground before I went out to guide it onto the cradle.
