**Because a weld-free floor and UHMW liner enhance the safe operation of dumping and extend the life of your trailer. Here’s how.**

Hicks uses [Rochling](https://www.roechling.com/us/industrial/rep-us/heavy-duty-truck-products) UHMW liners.

- Last longer.
- Reduce wear. 
- Added thickness at the rear.

**Designed for optimal discharge, minimal wear, and reduced repairs.**

- The rear of Hicks's trailer is the same width as the front - straight and same width all the way through. Our liner reaches the furthest possible, providing optimum protection.
- Not to mention, because of Hicks's modular design using [Huck](https://www.hfsindustrial.com/us/huck_replaces_welding) fasteners, our rear panel can be replaced in an hour.
