JLG Industries, Inc. has added AUSA all-terrain compact equipment to its North American product portfolio, expanding its offerings in material handling and jobsite support. The addition includes 12 wheeled dumpers and five rough-terrain forklifts, now marketed under the JLG AUSA name.

JLG, an Oshkosh Corporation business, introduced the expanded lineup in January 2026. The AUSA equipment is designed for use across construction, municipal, landscaping, agricultural, golf course and civil material-handling applications. JLG is showcasing the equipment at multiple industry events in early 2026, including World of Concrete, The ARA Show and CONEXPO-CON/AGG.

“JLG AUSA wheeled dumpers and rough-terrain forklifts offer customers a broad range of purpose-built solutions that help customers work more efficiently across diverse applications,” said Mirco Negri, senior product manager, JLG. “These models are ideal for crews working on residential, municipal, golf course, civil and road construction projects, plus groundskeepers and trade professionals needing help with the transportation and handling of industrial and agricultural materials. In 2026, JLG will begin transitioning existing AUSA models in North America with updated decaling and nomenclature to reflect modern brand standards and imperial specifications.”

The lineup includes electric, articulated, and reversible wheeled dumpers with load capacities ranging from 3,300 to 22,000 pounds, as well as rough-terrain forklifts with payloads from 3,000 to 11,000 pounds. Electric dumper models feature lithium-ion battery systems designed for low-noise operation, while articulated and reversible models emphasize maneuverability and visibility on confined or uneven terrain.

According to JLG, the expansion supports its broader strategy to grow in specialty equipment markets while continuing to serve construction and material-handling customers across North America.
