Ox is not terrible but they have their flaws. Bibeau make a good quality body and is near the top of the market but Beauroc dump bodies are THE top of the industry. I have run these for quite some time after running many others and find they stand up better than anyone else and the service that I get from the Beauroc network (Norwood Equipment in AZ) is second to none.
I have compared specs and such but my own use is what tells me what is what. Specs seem to show that Bibeau, Ox & Beauroc are all pretty similar so I asked what the difference was. They said it has to do with the design of the Beauroc, basically how they put it together and how they fold their side plates. I guess the engineering design behind the Beauroc is real solid and as I understand it, the Hardox 450 material performs best when folded like Beauroc sides are. Plus, it looks real good! None of that material wave and imperfection that you see in a Bibeau side (flat). No crossmembers in any of the Beaurocs like you see in some of the southern US body companies so no washboarding or wear that way like you would get with Ox, again, I was told that the Hardox people recommend the design be this way. I run my trucks hard. Concrete tear-out, heavy rock and materials hauling. I have never had to refloor a Beauroc. The body is lighter than an Ox and does a better job of standing up. Anyways, I am no engineer but I can tell you from personal experience that my Beaurocs have outperformed all the others I have had before.
Just my two cents...
