Overview

If you need a medium-duty crane truck that just won't quit, the Sterling Acterra is your truck. With several engine and PTO configurations, a tough frame, and durable cab, the Acterra can handle the heavy lifting in any utility situation. Safe operation of the Acterra is simple, with easy-to-read gauges and well-placed switches that can be operated even with gloves. Management will appreciate the low operating cost, and drivers will appreciate the comfort, roominess, and best-in-class HVAC system -- standard on every Acterra.
