Sterling Acterra - Govt/Muni Refuse |
Acterra, with a Class 5-8 operating range, handles like a pickup, but has the strength of a solid work tool. Its steel cab has the same strength and durability as the L-Line. It's a favorite among drivers for its power, cab room, and visibility.
And it's easy to get in and out of,
and easy to drive, thanks to a 10" BBC, 55-degree wheel cut, standard automatic transmission, and sharply sloped hood and large windshield area.
For those frequent stops in the refuse business, the Acterra offers the cost-saving fuel economy of the latest diesel technology from Cummins and Mercedes-Benz with superior cooling capacity.
And with a wide range of frame and suspension choices, a variety of fuel tanks, and transmission-mounted PTO configurations, the Acterra is ready for any refuse and recycling application.
And with numerous non-CDL ratings available, your Acterra is driver-ready. |
