Hicks launches redesigned, lightweight dump line

Hicks Manufacturing LLC, a family-owned trailer manufacturer with more than 70 years of engineering heritage, had made a major advancement in its aluminum dump bodies and end dump trailers. The redesigned line is now lighter than ever before—while maintaining the uncompromising strength and durability that defines Hicks, the company reported.

Published tare weights show Hicks trailers are now lower than comparable models in the market—offering operators a clear advantage in profitability and performance, according to Hicks. For example, the new wide-body 39-foot, 52-cubic-yard end dump comes in at just 9,751 lbs. tare weight. The new design allows customers to haul more payload per trip, maximize efficiency, and reduce fuel costs. 

At the same time, Hicks’ signature construction, like the frame of a truck chassis and bridges, using high strength fasteners, continues to deliver long-term reliability with no welds, no cracks, and no warping.

“Our focus has always simply been innovation that creates value for our customers,” said Jeff Hicks, president. “This re-engineering effort ensures that haulers get a trailer that is both stronger and lighter, with less maintenance, helping them achieve more with every load.”
