How can I hang a 60 lb. staghorn?

The fern and the soil together weigh 60 lbs? Can you not just put it in another hanging basket, or are you looking for alternatives to the basket as far as what you can put the both the plant and the soil in?

Was it in a basket with soil or mounted to wood? Here is info on potting
