AXCS has introduced its new TH-Series of rough-terrain telehandlers, featuring five distinct models designed for various lifting requirements. These machines, which range from 8,000 to 12,000 pounds in lift capacity, are now available for order through North American distributors.
Why it matters
This expansion allows the manufacturer to offer more comprehensive fleet solutions for operators needing specialized equipment for heavy lifting. The move comes as the company continues to integrate its operations following a corporate acquisition.
The TH-Series includes capacities from 8,000 to 12,000 pounds, with the TH-1056 and TH-1256 models offering maximum lift heights of 56 feet. Operating weights vary by model, starting at 23,920 pounds for the TH-842 up to 34,657 pounds for the TH-1256.
The players
AXCS
A heavy-equipment manufacturer known for rough-terrain telehandlers and formerly operating as Custom Equipment.
ASKO Holding
The parent organization that acquired Custom Equipment in 2024 to expand its construction and industrial machinery portfolio.
The details
The design utilizes a high percentage of shared components across the series to streamline parts management for fleet owners. Standard equipment includes open ROPS cabs and intuitive joysticks, with mechanical layouts engineered to reduce potential failure points. While mid-range models use 74-horsepower engines, the larger units offer 107-horsepower or optional 120-horsepower engines to support heavy-duty performance.
Timeline
ASKO Holding acquired Custom Equipment in early 2024.
AXCS launched the TH-Series telehandler line on September 21, 2026.
The Home Front
This release follows the industrywide integration of Tier 4 Final emissions standards into heavy-duty construction equipment. It reflects a broader shift toward standardizing powertrain components to improve long-term maintenance logistics for regional fleet operators.
Property owners or contractors planning large-scale projects should verify the specific weight and reach requirements for their site before selecting a rental or purchase unit. Ensure any operational maintenance on these machines is handled by a trained technician to maintain the two-year machine warranty.
The takeaway
The new TH-Series provides a range of heavy-lifting options for professionals seeking standardized fleet maintenance. Owners should register their purchase to secure the five-year structural warranty and ensure all service intervals are logged.
