AXCS launches full line of TH-Series rough-terrain telehandlers in North America
With a top range of 56 feet, the high-capacity telehandlers deliver heavy-duty lifting power needed for complex job sites
AXCS Equipment has rolled out its comprehensive TH-Series telehandler lineup in North America. The five models are designed to handle rough-terrain environments and span a versatile range of capacities, including two new heavy-duty models.
"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 job sites, backed by the same 'rental-tough' reliability and partnership they've always expected from our scissor lifts."
The TH-Series is defined by its high commonality and low maintenance
Engineered with rental fleet realities in mind, the TH-Series focuses heavily on reducing long-term maintenance costs and simplifying fleet parts management. AXCS has achieved an exceptionally high percentage of parts commonality across all five telehandler models.
While structural components like the high-strength steel frames, multi-stage booms, and operator cabs are designed specifically for each model's size, core service components remain standardized. This standard design allows service departments to minimize their on-hand parts inventory, streamline technical training, and accelerate service turnaround times in the shop.
To maximize operational efficiency for rental fleets, AXCS has prioritized a straightforward, "simple-to-maintain" standard build. Standard models ship with highly durable open ROPS cabs, standard responsive joysticks, and clean mechanical layouts that minimize potential points of failure.
For retail buyers, owner-operators, and specialized contractors, AXCS offers build-to-order options to create a more premium machine. These optional upgrades include fully enclosed cabs with heating and air conditioning, backup cameras with integrated proximity sensors, a Load Management System (LLMI), and a premium ergonomic joystick featuring integrated drive and shift control functions.
Heavy-weight models deliver higher reach with stable frames
Sharing an identical chassis and envelope footprint, the TH-1056 and TH-1256 are built for commercial construction, steel erection, and industrial infrastructure projects. Both feature a standard 107-horsepower Deutz diesel engine, with a 120-horsepower option available on build-to-order configurations. Both offer a maximum forward reach of 42.25 feet and a rated capacity of 3,000 pounds at maximum reach.
- TH-1056: Engineered with a 10,000-pound maximum capacity, this model reaches a 56-foot lift height, weighs 33,576 pounds stowed, and offers a maximum forward reach of 42.25 feet.
- TH-1256: Built for extreme lifting requirements with a 12,000-pound capacity, this unit extends up to a 56-foot lift height, carries an operating weight of 34,657 pounds, and provides 42.25 feet of forward reach.
Three compact models offer versatility on busy sites
For mid-range material handling, the TH-842, TH-944, and TH-1044 models provide versatility on congested job sites. A primary benefit of these three compact models is their 74-horsepower Deutz diesel engine, which meets Tier 4 Final emissions standards with no Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) or Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) required. This eliminates DEF replenishment and DPF-related maintenance from the service routine.
- TH-842: Delivering a maximum capacity of 8,000 pounds, a lift height of 42 feet, an operating weight of 23,920 pounds, and a maximum forward reach of 28.7 feet.
- TH-944: Stepping up to a 9,000-pound maximum capacity, this model offers a 44-foot lift height, an operating weight of 25,243 pounds, and a forward reach of 30.9 feet.
- TH-1044: Lifts up to 10,000 pounds, reaches 44.8 feet high, carries an operating weight of 27,117 pounds, and provides a forward reach of 30.9 feet.
Service is made simple
The design of the TH-Series ensures that simplicity remains at the forefront of the operator and technician experience. The cabin layouts are designed with clear visibility, intuitive controls, and an in-cab multifunction display that shows critical data at a glance.
"As job sites become more crowded and the skilled labour 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."
Demonstrating confidence in its design and component selection, AXCS backs all five telehandler models with its standard "2 & 5" Warranty. This comprehensive program covers the entire machine for two full years or 2,000 hours, while providing structural coverage on all specified major chassis, boom, and stabilizer components for five full years.
