There are many factors involved in determining the proper Working Load Limit (WLL), but it's safe to say that for general rigging purposes, most go with a 5:1 safety factor (Breaking Strength / 5, in this case, 2640 lbs). Of course the condition of the rope, its splices and/or knots, how it's terminated, the pulleys used, etc., all play a role as well. A qualified person should be on site to assist if possible.
