With a life-span of more than 10 years, they are ideal for fleets using leased vehicles or if a purchased vehicle it being retired.

The process of transferring the slip-in capsule take about a day to remove the old mounting kit and disconnect electrical and then mount on the new truck. Some customers do it themselves if they have their own shop and others hire a local mechanic transfer the unit.

Note: you will need access to a forklift with long forks. A Sterling representative will be happy to answer any question you may have.
