The Sterling Condor®The Sterling Condor®

All it wants to do is work

Condor, with its low cab-over-engine design, is built

for high duty-cycle work applications like commercial

and residential refuse service, home fuel oil

delivery, construction and aircraft refueling.

The Condor cab stands apart from the competition.

The exclusive cab design features lightweight

aluminum and crush-resistant composite materials

that decrease chassis tare weight and increase

payload. The roomy, ergonomically designed interior

offers more operator comfort and increases safety and

productivity.

The low cab step-in height and conveniently placed

grab handles make it easy to get in and out of the

cab — a major benefit in urban applications.

Condor’s versatility provides choices for automated

and manual refuse applications. Right-hand steer,

dual steer, and right-hand stand-up steer are

available to help reduce cycle times and increase

productivity.

A setback front axle, along with an impressive

45-degree wheel cut, provides excellent

maneuverability and ideal weight distribution.

Both mid-range and heavy-duty diesel engines from

Caterpillar and Cummins are available in a broad

range of horsepower and torque ratings.

A wide variety of transmissions are available — with

multiple PTO locations.

The optional front mounted pumps and PTOs can be

mounted under the cab in a secure, protected

location, eliminating the need for a frame rail

extension beyond the front bumper.

Clean frame rails and a clean back-of-cab design

simplify body mounting.

Workers who get in and out of their truck all day long will appreciate Condor’s low-cab design.

Automatic “neutral” with work brake is designed to allow the engineto return to idle speed with less than a one-second lag.

A flat cab floor provides more space inside the cab for driver and crew —a benefit for workers who need to get in and out of the vehicle quickly and safely.
