tow strap
Vehicle recovery belt
A tow strap is a heavy-duty woven nylon or polyester strap used to pull vehicles, typically when one is stuck or disabled.
Unlike chains, tow straps have some elasticity that absorbs shock during pulls: We hooked up the tow strap and yanked his truck out of the ditch.
Most have reinforced loops at each end for attachment to tow hooks or hitches.
