Synthetic webbed strapping is great stuff when used properly in the proper application. We use it in the form of slings, chokers & spreaders to lift many things at work, some of the loads are in the hundreds of tons.

I would use chain for that kind of pull, it doesn't stretch and recoil like straps do.
Just my opinion though.
