Our trailers and dump bodies are built for strength, longevity, and easy service.   #### Here’s how we’re different: **All Bolted Construction. No Welds.** Where others weld, we bolt. Every Hicks trailer and dump body features a fully bolted design—floor, sides, top rail, rear post, sills. That means zero weld cracks, no warped floors, and total replaceability.  **No Warping. ** Our floors stay flat. Period. Customers hauling asphalt, aggregates, even grain, report easy discharge, sometimes without a liner. Why? Because no welds mean no heat stress. Just a smooth, strong surface that stays true to form, year after year.   #### Hicks offers: - **Frameless Trailers - **Lightweight and durable for maximizing payload [![Hicks Aluminum Frameless End Dump Trailer for Hauling Aggregates](https://blog.hickstrailers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_1171%20Cropped%20for%20Frameless%20Page.jpg?width=4032&height=1932&name=IMG_1171%20Cropped%20for%20Frameless%20Page.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/@HicksManufacturingLLC) - **Frame-Type Trailers - **Extra stability and high spill points for specific hauls [![Hicks 2025 Frame Type Aluminum End Dump Trailer front right side view](https://blog.hickstrailers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Hicks%202025%20Frame%20Type%20Aluminum%20End%20Dump%20Trailer.jpg?width=771&height=489&name=Hicks%202025%20Frame%20Type%20Aluminum%20End%20Dump%20Trailer.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/@HicksManufacturingLLC) - **Dump Bodies - **Custom lengths and specs, perfect for truck chassis of all sizes [![Hicks Aluminum Dump Body ](https://blog.hickstrailers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Dump%20Body%20Brochure%20Photo%201.jpg?width=2692&height=1720&name=Dump%20Body%20Brochure%20Photo%201.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/@HicksManufacturingLLC) - **Something New is Rolling Out - **And the first one is already turning heads.
