Not every job calls for a full-size end dump. But when your day involves moving material, hauling equipment, or doing both—your trailer still needs to work hard, unload cleanly, and hold up over time.
Every operation has a different mix of what you haul and how you work. Hicks offers two purpose-built pup trailers for pickup trucks — designed to help you haul more with your pickup truck.
Material-focused: Equipment and materials:
Great for Dirt, Sand & Gravel Multi-purpose: Materials + equipment
Body: 10'L x 60”W x 34”H Body: 14’L x 77”W x 24”HChoose the DirtBoss built for bulk loads like dirt, sand, and gravel. It’s made to move material efficiently, unload smoothly, and keep your workflow simple. Or choose the Landscaper designed for equipment plus bulk material versatility. It gives you a wider body and lower sides for loading equipment—while still handling material when the job calls for it.
Either way, the goal is the same: fewer compromises, fewer headaches, and a trailer that fits how you work.
Our YouTube channel features real-world footage of our pup trailers, plus dump bodies, frameless, and frame-type trailers in action. Watch The Science Behind Hicks to learn what sets our design apart—and why it matters in the field.
Hicks pups are powered by a marine battery and hydraulic pump and connect to a standard trailer hitch, so you can run a serious hauling setup without jumping to a larger truck just to get the job done.

These pups weren’t designed as light-duty trailers. They’re built with the same approach that’s guided Hicks for decades: equipment should be built to last, and it should be serviceable—not disposable.
That means:
3.5" double wall extrusions connected with high-strength fasteners including Huck® from Howmet Fastening Systems
Replaceable components designed to extend service life
A focus on lower long-term ownership costs, not just purchase price
