AXCS Equipment, formerly Custom Equipment manufacturer of Hy-Brid Lifts, has rolled out its new TH-Series telehandler lineup, designed to handle rough terrain.
The five-model series spans 8,000 to 12,000 pounds of lifting capacity, highlighted by the newest and largest TH-1056 and TH-1256 models.
The expansion into the heavy telehandler sector allows AXCS to provide a “comprehensive B2B fleet solution,” the company says, building on its scissor lift portfolio of lightweight Pro Series (PS), Zero-Turn Series (ZT) and its larger, high-reaching EL-Series.
“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," said Eric Liner, CEO of AXCS Equipment.

When designing the TH Series, ACXS says it focused on reducing long-term maintenance costs and simplifying parts management with a high percentage of parts commonality among all five telehandler models.
The telehandlers also feature high-strength steel frames, multi-stage booms, comfortable cabs and standardized core service components. This standard design allows service departments to minimize their on-hand parts inventory, streamline technical training and accelerate service turnaround times in the shop, the company says.
Powered byStandard models ship with durable open ROPS cabs, responsive joysticks and clean mechanical layouts that minimize potential points of failure, the company says.
For retail buyers, AXCS offers build-to-order options to create a more premium machine. Optional upgrades include fully enclosed cabs with heating and air conditioning, back-up cameras with integrated proximity sensors, Load Management System (LLMI) and a premium ergonomic joystick featuring integrated drive and shift control functions.
The Heavyweights: TH-1056 and TH-1256
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 telehandlers are powered by a 107-horsepower Deutz diesel engine, with a 120-horsepower option available on build-to-order configurations. They 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: Touting 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.
Compact Workhorses: TH-842, TH-944, and TH-1044
For mid-range material handling, the TH-842, TH-944 and TH-1044 provide versatility on tight jobsites. All three are powered by a 74-horsepower Deutz diesel engine, which meets Tier 4 Final emissions standards with no diesel exhaust fluid or diesel particulate filter.
- 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 has 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, weighs 27,117 pounds and provides a forward reach of 30.9 feet.
The cabs are designed with clear visibility, intuitive controls, and an in-cab multifunction, the company says.
All five models are backed by AXCS’s standard “2 & 5” Warranty, covering 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 years.
All five TH-Series models are available for order through the AXCS Equipment North American distributor and dealer networks.
Custom Equipment was acquired by Turkish equipment manufacturer ASKO Holding in early 2024, prompting the rebranding to AXCS. ASKO has eight companies and subsidiaries in the construction, agriculture, energy and tech sectors. It also owns ELS Lift, which produces a range of scissor lifts, vertical mast lifts and boom lifts, and MST Construction Machinery, which manufactures telehandlers and dirt equipment.
