JLG's Ausa F3009 rough-terrain forkliftUS-based manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms and telehandlers JLG Industries, has released five new rough-terrain forklifts to the North American market as part of the launch of its new AUSA all-terrain compact equipment lineup.
The equipment had previously been released to European markets by Spanish-headquartered manufacturer Ausacorp (AUSA), which was acquired by JLG Industries in September 2024.
“Available in a wide range of payload capacities, these machines are designed to support material handling needs in construction, agriculture and municipal operations while delivering excellent off-road handling and efficiency,” JLG states of the rough-terrain forklift range.
The new rough-terrain forklift models include the F3009 (launched as AUSA’s C151H at Bauma in 2025). The 3,000 lb. (1.36T) capacity forklift is designed for labour-intensive work in the farming sector and in small-scale municipal works where small loads must be moved. JLG says the F3009 features outstanding handling and versatility.
The F5011 (formerly AUSA C251H) and F7012 (formerly AUSA C351H) both have load capacities between 4,000 lbs and 7,000 lbs. (1.8T - 3.18T), are powerful and robust, and equipped with the latest technology to achieve peak off-road performance with minimal fuel consumption, making them ideal for medium-scale tasks in the construction and agricultural sectors.
The range also includes the F8014 (formerly AUSA C401H) and F9414 (formerly AUSA C501H) models which have payload capacities between 8,000 lbs. and 11,000 lbs. (3.6T and 5T).
These have been designed for large-scale work, especially in the construction sector and for moving large materials, and feature excellent manoeuvrability on challenging terrain.
Mirco Negri, senior product manager, JLG says of the launch of the range into North America: “JLG AUSA all-terrain compact equipment helps accelerate our growth into the specialty equipment, agriculture and landscaping markets in North America while providing our construction and materials handling customers with an even broader array of products”.
