Sterling adds engine option to lineup
Sterling Truck Corp. announces the availability of the Cummins ISL 8.9-liter engine for its vocational customers. It is available in the Sterling Set-Forward L-Line 111-in. BBC model and the Set-Back L-Line 113-in. BBC model.

The ISL comes with either 1,150- or 1,250-ft.-lb. torque ratings. Options include a compression brake and an available rear engine PTO.

Auto Crane expands service truck offerings
Auto Crane is introducing a line of 18 articulating cranes to enhance the company's existing line of service cranes. These cranes have a lift capacity ranging from 31,800 to 332,700 ft.-lbs. and they are designed for use where space is at a premium. The geometry of these cranes allows them to be used in more confined environments.

The cranes are constructed of high-tensile-strength steel that is lighter in weight than traditional steel, increasing the payload capacity of the truck carrying the crane.

Auto Crane also introduced a line of four field service lube trucks (shown above). The field service lube trucks are available in single-axle and tandem-axle models. They will not replace the recently introduced Auto Crane lube skid. Rather, the lube truck's larger capacity and fluid reservoirs make it ideal for larger work sites with greater demands.
