    Rigging for a sea container

    GC wants me to move his sea container 1/4 mile to other end of the site. I'd like to hear some ideas on the rigging, with simple/safe in mind. Its 20x8 feet and 4,800 pounds, four points at the top corners. Weight and size is of zero concern to me, just the rigging.:) Thanks guys.
