Douglas, pre-made lifting slings may be way too expensive and too strong for
your needs. The suggestion of looking at a Yacht supply store is a good one
but to have more options and a better price visit a "commercial" fishing
store (not sport fishing). At most commercial fishing supplies you will find
a selection of heavy duty UV protected black rope at a reasonable price. If
the diameter is too small for the load expected you can always use several
lengths (loops - twisted) of the cord for each guy.

"Hi,
Thanks for all your suggestions.
As Dacron and Kevlar ropes are not available here, i think i have an
alternative non conductive strong material close of my town.
Somebody know the SLING used to move products at the harbor ???...from and
to the ship.
I think i can get that SLING from the harbor...i know it is very strong but
i dont know if this material can survive the weather here...UV radiation and
marine environment.
