Cleared a thousand feet of hoistway cable today and the weight number on the scale was a real shock.

It was 2,300 pounds of old steel (which is a lot more than I guessed, you know, just looking at the spool), so now I'm curious if anyone has a good rule of thumb for eyeballing cable weight before you have to move it.

My last spool was way heavier than it looked too, man.
