Hey everyone! I'm looking to set up a pulley system to lower a 2000lbs pallet of margarine into what's being called a 'margarine hole.' The whole process needs to happen within 1-2 hours, and preferably it should be done quietly and in low light conditions. I'm trying to avoid heavy machinery, but I'm okay with digging the hole myself. Is a DIY pulley system feasible for one person to manage? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, you can definitely set up a pulley system to lower 2000lbs. However, it’s really important to know what you’re doing, and I’d advise against attempting this alone if you're inexperienced. A little extra help can make a world of difference when dealing with heavy loads. Also, I'm curious about this 'margarine hole' you keep mentioning!
Make sure you're using high-quality pulleys and ropes; they need to be rated for at least 2000lbs to be safe. You might want to look into getting some experienced friends to make the setup smoother and safer.
Any idea on the type of materials I should be looking for?
