R.J. Cox Engineering is a leading designer, manufacturer and supplier of materials handling and hospitality equipment, including wheels and castors, for the hospitality, medical, manufacturing, mining and engineering industries.
RJ Cox, as we are known, has been involved in engineering solutions since 1938. We provide custom-designed and built engineering solutions as well as an extensive catalogue of products from the foremost manufacturers of materials handling and hospitality equipment.
Our journey began in 1938 when Eric Cox established the business. The first trolleys, crafted from wood, were manufactured for New South Wales railways during the war years. Today, as RJ Cox, a division of E.W. Cox Pty Ltd, we continue to innovate, producing state-of-the-art trolleys using twenty-first-century materials and processes.
Right from the start, RJ Cox was always about more than trolleys. In the 1950s, our engineering expertise was applied to the design and manufacture of conveyor systems for our leading manufacturers of industrial and domestic goods, ranging from biscuits to coal handling.
In the 1960s, we expanded our operations by establishing EW Cox Pty Ltd – Victoria. This marked our foray into manufacturing building maintenance units, conveyors, and elevators. By the 1970s, EW Cox Pty Ltd – Sydney had grown into a comprehensive engineering solutions provider, offering a wide range of services from fabrication and machining to wholesale hardware distribution and sales and service of building maintenance units in Australia and Southeast Asia.
Our successful building maintenance units business was sold in 1990, and the remaining components were rationalised. Now, we apply the benefits of decades of engineering experience to our core activities associated with materials handling, hospitality, and safety equipment.
