Freightliner and Sterling Trucks Unveil Front Loader to the Refuse Industry
Freightliner Trucks has introduced the Condor Class 8 low cab forward vehicle for front loader refuse applications. A Condor with a commercial front loader refuse body was displayed at the April 3-5 Waste Expo 2001 show in Chicago. Sterling Motor Co. of Willoughby, OH also announced the availability of its Sterling Condor Class 8 low cab forward. The Sterling offering was also shown at the Waste Expo in April. Both vehicles boast a vast, two-piece windshield and large side and rear windows, with more than 43 square feet of glass and offering a 238-degree field of vision. Optional rear window configurations can increase the field of vision to 273 degrees.
