Avoid downtime, heavy degraded aluminum, and costly weld repairs. Like-new. Hicks's patented, weld-free, modular design results in a trailer that is repaired to a [like-new](https://blog.hickstrailers.com/hubfs/Like%20New.mp4) state. Hicks trailer's entire body is constructed using [*Huck *](https://www.hfsindustrial.com/us/huck_replaces_welding)fasteners. [![Hicks weld-free modular designed trailer](https://blog.hickstrailers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Website/Content%20Images/Parts%20Replacement%20(origina).png?width=438&name=Parts%20Replacement%20(origina).png)](https://blog.hickstrailers.com/hubfs/Like%20New.mp4) Less costly repairs. Removing a [*Huck*](https://www.hfsindustrial.com/us/huck_replaces_welding) bolt and/or rivet is much quicker than grinding out a weld, and doesn’t require skilled labor. Parts fit like new instead of needing to force distorted parts together.   Minimal downtime. The man hours it takes to repair a damaged aluminum end dump trailer are typically long; sometimes weeks before your trailer is back on the road. Hicks trailers' modularity makes repairs quick and easy. Your trailer is back on the road in no time. Click [here](https://blog.hickstrailers.com/hubfs/Like%20New.mp4) to watch a 30 second demonstration. Guaranteed workmanship. Welded repairs can vary in quality influenced by a number of factors. With Hicks's modular design, workmanship is assured with replacing damaged parts with brand new aluminum components in a matter of hours. Aluminum components retain full temper strength. Welding degrades aluminum components. The result can be a repair that is structurally unsound, not to mention ugly. Hicks's weld-free design allows aluminum components to retain their original strength.  A damaged base rail can be replaced and you are back to hauling aggregates in just 48 hours.
