Brand
The Hayes Manufacturing Company Limited was a Vancouver-based Canadian manufacturer of heavy trucks known for their durability and a revolving bunk system. Founded in 1920, Hayes built both highway and off road trucks, particularly for the logging industry. On a smaller scale, Hayes also manufactured buses. Mack Trucks acquired a controlling stake in the company in 1969, and in 1971 renamed it Hayes Trucks. In 1975, Mack sold the company to Kenworth Paccar, which closed the Hayes plants.
The British Columbia company was established in 1920 by Douglas Hayes, a parts dealer, and partner W. Anderson from Quadra Island, and was originally the Hayes-Anderson Motor Company Ltd. It was renamed Hayes Manufacturing Company Ltd. in 1928, when the company built a large factory on the False Creek flats in Vancouver. The company eventually had over 600 employees and three plants.
