The medium-duty Acterra dump truck is built tough enough to handle even the biggest jobs. Unlike medium-duty dumps based on pickup truck designs, Acterra is inspired by Sterling's heavy-duty heritage, and features options like a 120,000 psi frame, 46K tandem axles, and engines rated up to 350 hp. Drivers love the roominess of the Sterling cab, and managers love the reliability and serviceability of the modern Acterra design.
