This 2001 Sterling L8500 is a used flatbed truck — sometimes referred to as a flat deck or platform truck — a type of commercial vehicle widely used for hauling machinery, lumber, construction materials, and other oversized or irregularly shaped loads that require open, unobstructed bed access. Sterling was a North American truck manufacturer that produced heavy and medium-duty commercial trucks for freight, construction, and utility applications.
The truck is powered by a CAT 3126 diesel engine and paired with a Road Ranger 9-speed transmission, a robust and well-regarded drivetrain combination commonly found in medium-duty commercial service. The odometer reads 295,199 kilometres. The flat deck measures 16 feet long by 8.5 feet wide, providing a generous load surface suited to a broad range of hauling tasks. The seller notes that the truck frame shows no visible signs of winter corrosion, which is a meaningful observation for a Canadian-market vehicle of this age.
It is important to note that the truck is not currently in running condition. The seller believes the fault is electrical in nature and indicates the vehicle ran previously. The truck is offered as-is with a clean title. A sprayer that was previously associated with this unit is not included and is being sold separately.
The asking price is $5,313 USD, and the truck is located in Ontario, Canada.
