Can’t speak about industrial uses of dyneema, but am a happy user of it for climbing. Way lighter and less bulky than nylon slings, doesn’t absorb water so doesn’t freeze solid, but isn’t as durable and on loading tends to melt as opposed to stretching. I know the industrial access boys use it, but still keep nylon and metal for certain uses.
Would be very interested in learning about industrial uses of dyneema.

light duty logging has it's advocates. I have not seen it on skidders in our area yet, but it is fairly common of "new" tractor mounted winch set ups. Progressive operators....;-)
What happens when it let's go ?
Is there much stretch ?

Plastic plywood... crossply dyneema
That is to make a fabric where the fibers are not woven but lay side by side in layers and each layer at a 90Dgr angle All bonded with a latex like glue Rather complex to make
Very minimal stretch and shorter lengths just drop to ground when it fails under load. Unlike steel cable that whips and cuts off someones head.
Downside of minimal stretch is that it sucks with shock loads.
