Family-Owned. Michigan-Strong. Storage Solutions Built on Trust.
For more than two decades, Steel Tough Containers has helped Michigan contractors, schools, retailers, and homeowners solve real-world storage challenges — fast. We’re based in Lansing and we answer the phone. Every container is inspected for strength, security and long-term value before it leaves our yard.

Built on Michigan Work Ethic
Jay Gruber grew up around construction sites. After running a successful equipment company for years, he saw how difficult it was for businesses to find affordable, reliable containers that weren’t beat-up or overpriced. So he started Steel Tough Containers with one goal: raise the standard for quality and accountability in Michigan’s container industry.
Jay’s background in construction shaped our hands-on approach. He still personally inspects units, schedules deliveries and answers calls when customers need quick answers. That direct involvement sets us apart — no layers of management, no excuses, just service that feels like working with a trusted friend.
Serving Michigan’s Communities
Being locally owned means giving back locally. Our team supports trade programs, small-business events and community fundraisers throughout mid‑Michigan. We’ve built lasting relationships with schools, contractors and nonprofits who rely on our containers to store tools, materials and donations safely year-round.
We take pride in being a dependable partner, not just a vendor. Every delivery represents another Michigan business we’re helping stay organized, secure and productive.
Michigan businesses trust us for storage done right.
