Backroom Material Handling

An efficient backroom is the backbone of a well-run grocery store. When product moves quickly and safely from the receiving dock to the sales floor, shelves stay stocked, labor costs stay down, and customers find what they need. SEMS partners with Cox Sales & Service to offer a complete line of backroom material handling equipment purpose-built for grocery and food retail environments. From U-boat stocking trucks and platform carts to dunnage racks, dollies, and hand trucks, our selection covers the full range of product movement needs — whether you're unloading a delivery truck, staging product in the cooler, or replenishing a high-velocity aisle mid-shift.

Every piece of equipment in our backroom lineup is chosen for durability, practicality, and the specific demands of commercial grocery operations. Heavy-gauge welded steel construction and powder-coat finishes ensure these tools hold up through years of daily use, and the variety of configurations available means there's a right-sized solution for every task in the backroom workflow. SEMS and Cox bring decades of grocery retail experience to every recommendation — so you're not just buying equipment, you're getting a solution that fits how your store actually operates.
