Monterra trucks feature 47-inch tires, 23 inches of ground clearance, and waterproofed components such as the starter and alternator. With a 50-inch water-fording capability, they stand out as leaders in safe and reliable flood operations. Their design ensures dependable performance in the toughest rescue missions.
The Acela Monterra High Water/Flood Rescue accommodates up to 27 seated passengers. It also provides space for pets, personal belongings, and rescue gear. This spacious design and high payload capacity make it ideal for disaster responses such as floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, and earthquakes. Monterra trucks easily navigate over debris, sand, mud, and other tough terrains thanks to their off-road capabilities and high ground clearance.
Acela designs the Monterra to serve multiple roles beyond flood rescue. It can function as a brush or wildland fire engine, Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) support vehicle, cargo transporter, or tactical troop carrier for SAR or SWAT teams. Whether operating in rural or urban areas, these trucks deliver reliable performance across a wide range of missions.
Every Monterra flood rescue truck includes a comprehensive bumper-to-bumper parts and labor warranty. This coverage gives departments peace of mind and ensures they can rely on their vehicles when it matters most.
