Guide to Our Poly Carts

We started on Boston’s docks in 1921, crafting rugged canvas baskets for fishermen. Over the next ten decades, we gained the trust of industries like textiles, coal, commercial laundries, hospitality, construction and more. In these sectors, durability isn’t optional. It’s non-negotiable. And after a century of refining our craft, our products remain time-tested, built for any challenge with unmatched quality.

Reap the Difference

Long term cost savings

Our carts are built with 20% more steel than leading competitors, and reinforced handles make lifting foolproof under heavy loads. That means fewer replacements — and a lower total cost of ownership.

Don't Just Take OUR WORD FOR IT

  • “Steele is a very good supplier. We work really well together. It’s the kind of company that you know they’re working as hard for you as you are for your end customers.”

    Victor Frangopoulos
    Operations Manager, ICM Corporation

  • “It’s not always just the product — it’s the relationship, the reliability of the vendor and how above and beyond they go for us. Construction and printing, and then shipping and delivery, was important, too. There was a level of comfort we had when we met the Steele team, like, ‘Okay, this is going to be a good reliable partner for us.”
