Now how are you going to get it off? I remember moving my tool box home when I retired from twisting wrench's and it was an adventure getting into the trailer and off. It probably weighs in at close to a ton.
Just leave it loaded, I'll return the trailer...maybe...I

A little over rigged maybe? What are those slings rated for? 15+ tons each basket?

Getting it off took a little precise measuring, and taking my time. My garage is up a slight incline. It weighs close to 2000 lbs., empty.
Those are some lighter slings in the arsenal. 8000+ lbs basket. 4000+lbs straight pull. 18 foot, aluminum ends. I didn't feel like unpacking the steel end slings. Crane rated at 6 tons, 3 at each hook. Wheel ratchet strap are rated at 1000 each, the over the handle ratchets, 4000 lbs. I'd rather have too much rigging than not enough. No matter the lift. Especially when I seem to be surrounded by people that no longer care about load and load capacity.
