The shift from steel to all-aluminum construction marked a major turning point in the history of Mickey Truck Bodies, and in the beverage distribution industry. The process started with a unit made of a combination of steel and aluminum, and eventually evolved to all aluminum, including the main beam .
Throughout its rich history, Mickey Truck Bodies has always prided itself on innovating the delivery equipment marketplace. Its first all aluminum trailer line – the 20/20 series – set a new industry standard for lightweight, maximum payload capacity and durability. And Mickey consistently improved the quality and creativity of its product lines with each new breakthrough, including the modern-day Load Bear series of bodies and trailers.

ickey Truck Bodies, Inc., originally founded as The W.F. Mickey Body Company, has come a long way since founder Will Franklin Mickey opened his first blacksmith shop in the High Point, NC area back in 1904. From its early days as maker of the iron ring for wooden wagon wheels and open wooden bodies for hauling ice, the company has blossomed into a premier manufacturer of state-of-the-art bodies and trailers made entirely of aluminum.
