The Monterra 4x4 and Monterra 6x6 trucks are key models in Acela's extreme-duty range. Originally designed for military use, these trucks are now available for commercial purposes.

The Monterra 4x4 offers high mobility and can navigate through tough terrains, making it perfect for construction, logging, and utility operations. The 6x6 variant provides even greater capability, handling heavier loads while maintaining excellent off-road performance.

A recent addition to their lineup is the Straya, the first four-wheel-drive, Class 5, high-mobility cab-over truck chassis in North America. The Straya is built on a robust Isuzu chassis, paired with top-tier military-grade components, ensuring it can handle the most demanding job sites. Its design emphasizes maneuverability and visibility, crucial for navigating tight spaces and challenging conditions.

"We're honored to have Western Truck & Trailer Ltd representing the Monterra line of extreme duty chassis," says David Ronsen, President of Acela Truck Company. "Western Truck & Trailer recognizes industrial companies' needs in Alberta and other provinces. Western Truck & Trailer Ltd also has a reputation as being one of the region's highest-quality truck and equipment dealers. By working together, industrial companies could increase their jobsite capabilities with our line of high-mobility chassis."
