No One Builds Like This: The Hicks Difference in Every Trailer and Dump Body

In an industry where cracked welds, warped floors, and frequent repairs are all too common, Hicks takes a different approach. 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

  • Frame-Type Trailers - Extra stability and high spill points for specific hauls

  • Dump Bodies - Custom lengths and specs, perfect for truck chassis of all sizes

  • Something New is Rolling Out - And the first one is already turning heads. Hicks has a new, aluminum pup for landscapers and small hauls. We’ll be sharing more soon - but for now, watch the video below! Keep an eye out for the official product announcement with full specs and features.
