AXCS Equipment has announced the North American rollout of its five-model TH-Series telehandler lineup. The rough-terrain telehandlers range from 8,000 to 12,000 pounds of lifting capacity.

The lineup includes the TH-842, TH-944, TH-1044, TH-1056, and TH-1256. The two largest models provide 56-foot lift heights and are designed for applications including commercial construction, steel erection, and industrial infrastructure projects.

“With the official launch of our TH-Series telehandlers, AXCS is cementing its position as a complete, one-stop fleet partner for our rental and distribution networks,” said Eric Liner, CEO of AXCS Equipment. “By expanding our reach into the high-capacity, 56-foot telehandler market, we are giving our customers the heavy-duty lifting power they need on complex commercial, infrastructure, and modular jobsites, backed by the same 'rental-tough' reliability and partnership they’ve always expected from our scissor lifts.”

High-Capacity Telehandlers

The TH-1056 and TH-1256 share an identical chassis and envelope footprint. Both models use a standard 107-horsepower Deutz diesel engine, with a 120-horsepower option available through build-to-order configurations.

Both have a maximum forward reach of 42.25 feet and a rated capacity of 3,000 pounds at maximum reach.

The TH-1056 has a maximum capacity of 10,000 pounds, a 56-foot lift height, and a stowed weight of 33,576 pounds. The TH-1256 has a 12,000-pound maximum capacity, a 56-foot lift height, and an operating weight of 34,657 pounds.

Mid-Range Models

The TH-842, TH-944, and TH-1044 provide capacities from 8,000 to 10,000 pounds. The three models use 74-horsepower Deutz diesel engines that meet Tier 4 Final emissions standards without requiring Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) or a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).

The TH-842 has an 8,000-pound maximum capacity, a 42-foot lift height, an operating weight of 23,920 pounds, and a maximum forward reach of 28.7 feet.

The TH-944 provides a 9,000-pound maximum capacity, a 44-foot lift height, an operating weight of 25,243 pounds, and a forward reach of 30.9 feet.

The TH-1044 has a 10,000-pound maximum capacity, a 44.8-foot lift height, an operating weight of 27,117 pounds, and a forward reach of 30.9 feet.

Service and Cab Options

AXCS said the five models share a high percentage of common parts. While structural components, including frames, booms, and operator cabs, are specific to each model, core service components are standardized.

Standard models use open ROPS cabs, joysticks, and mechanical layouts. Build-to-order options include enclosed cabs with heating and air conditioning, backup cameras with integrated proximity sensors, a Load Management System (LLMI), and a premium ergonomic joystick with integrated drive and shift controls.

The TH-Series also features in-cab multifunction displays, clear visibility, and controls designed for the operator and technician experience.

“As jobsites become more crowded and the skilled labor shortage continues, contractors need intuitive, powerful machines that operators can run with confidence from day one,” Liner added. “By pairing highly precise controls and excellent cab visibility with rugged, industry-standard Dana axles and Deutz power, we’ve designed our telehandlers to deliver maximum uptime and productivity with none of the over-engineered complexity that typically slows down field service.”

All five models are backed by AXCS' standard “2 & 5” Warranty, covering the entire machine for two years or 2,000 hours and specified major chassis, boom, and stabilizer components for five years.

The TH-Series is available for order through AXCS Equipment's North American distributor and dealer networks.
