AWRF (Associated Wire Rope Fabricators) accreditation is a third-party quality certification for manufacturers of slings, tie-downs, and rigging products. US Cargo Control is one of fewer than 10 companies in the US to hold AWRF accreditation for in-house manufactured nylon slings, chain slings, and tie-downs. 

For buyers in industrial, fleet, or government procurement roles, AWRF accreditation means the manufacturer has been independently verified to meet industry standards for materials, manufacturing processes, and quality control, making it easier to justify a purchase to a safety department or procurement office.

Yes, US Cargo Control offers in-house proof testing to two times the working load limit (2X WLL) on custom slings and assemblies, with NIST-traceable certificates available for a nominal fee. Proof testing certificates document that a specific product was physically tested to a specified load before shipment, providing the documentation that safety departments and compliance programs require. 

Proof testing is available on custom nylon slings, chain slings, and other custom assemblies. Request it when you submit your quote form. You can also learn more here. 

Yes, US Cargo Control manufactures custom tie-down straps, cargo nets, nylon slings, chain slings, and select other custom assemblies in-house at our Iowa facility. This means shorter lead times, tighter quality control, and direct access to our production team for complex or non-standard applications.

Minimum order quantities vary by product types. Some options have low minimums and can be ordered in small quantities. Higher complexity products or those requiring vendor fabrication may have higher minimums. Lead times and minimums for your specific product can be confirmed when you submit a quote request. Our team will provide that information as part of the quoting process.
