Overview

Street sweeping is the most common application for the Sterling Cargo thanks to its unique body-friendly design. The Cargo is engineered to combine the benefits of a shorter overall length (easier maneuverability) and longer vocational bodies (more payload), making it an ideal truck choice for sweeping applications. With fuel-saving aerodynamic elements on the outside like A-pillar air deflectors, and comfort options on the inside like the optional air-suspended seats, Cargo is appreciated by managers and drivers alike.

Highlights

Low-cab-forward design - for a shorter overall length (easier maneuvering) or a longer vocational body (more payload), or a productive blend of the two.

Unsurpassed agility - combining standard power steering and the extremely tight turning diameter of a front axle set back 53 inches.

Aerodynamically styled cab - featuring spacious comfort for three people, outstanding sight lines in all directions, and up to 50-degree tilt capability for unimpaired engine access.

Cummins ISB diesels - 175 to 230 horsepower, with fully programmable electronic controls, standard wastegate turbocharging, and air-to-air intercooling.

Single drive axles - to meet GVW requirements from 25,500 to 37,000 pounds.

Wide choice of rear suspensions - including the Sterling AirLiner for an unsurpassed smooth ride.

High-tensile (50,000 psi) and extra-high tensile (110,000 psi) bolted frames - optional quarter-inch inner or outer reinforcement for RBM ratings as high as 2,894,000. Available HUCK-SPIN fasteners for added durability and reduced maintenance. Clean Frame Rails option for simplified body mounting.
