This Sterling L8513 is a used flatbed truck — sometimes referred to as a flat-deck truck — currently available in Quebec, Canada, at a listed price of $27,968. Flatbed trucks are heavy-duty haulers designed to transport large, heavy, or awkwardly shaped loads that require open, unobstructed deck space and easy loading from the sides or rear. Sterling was a North American commercial truck manufacturer that produced a range of heavy and vocational trucks for industries including construction, logging, and general freight haulage.
The truck is built around a 26-foot platform, providing generous deck length for oversized or bulk loads. It is equipped with a double 20,000 lb winch setup, making it well suited to recovery, securing, or positioning heavy loads on the deck. A wet kit and power take-off (PTO) are also installed, allowing the truck to power hydraulic accessories or trailing equipment directly from the drivetrain — a valuable feature for versatile work-site applications.
On the cab and chassis side, the truck is fitted with air conditioning for driver comfort. Engine braking — commonly known as a Jake brake — is present, aiding controlled deceleration when hauling heavy loads, particularly on descending grades. The differential is equipped with a three-quarter locking capability, improving traction in low-grip or off-road conditions. Air suspension keeps the ride compliant under varying load conditions, and the chassis is configured as a simple single-frame setup. This is a year 2000 machine offered in used condition.
