WHAT OUR CUSTOMER SAY

Clay Albright

Clay Albright

Kentucky Quarry Owner

"I love PHIL tailgates. We've had them for years and they just work. We don't have to do anything to them; no ongoing maintenance. And they stand up to whatever our crew throws at them. I can't say enough about working with the team at PHIL."

Landfill Maintenance Manager

"We haul a lot of low-density refuse - from C&D waste to MSW. When dealing with large quantities of trash that need to be moved daily in an environment that has soft underfoot conditions, there's only one company that can get us what we need, and that's Philippi-Hagenbuch. All of our off-highway trucks are outfitted with their HiVol® Refuse Bodies at each of our landfill locations."

"PHIL's Rear Eject Bodies are second to none. They've been operating in our client's underground hard rock mine since 2020 and have worked without fail for over 19,000 hours. We sure wish all off-highway truck equipment was engineered and built this well!"
