AUSA
AUSA is a Spanish specialist in compact all-terrain industrial vehicles used where manoeuvrability, low ground pressure and jobsite versatility are more valuable than machine size. The brand is particularly relevant to urban construction, utilities, agriculture, landscaping and municipal fleets.
Company Overview
AUSA is a Spanish manufacturer renowned for its specialized range of compact, all-terrain industrial vehicles designed to perform in the most demanding construction, agricultural, and municipal environments.
Founded in 1956 and headquartered in Barcelona, the company has established a global reputation for engineering excellence in three core categories: highly maneuverable site dumpers, robust rough-terrain forklifts, and ultra-compact telehandlers. By focusing on ergonomic design, hydrostatic transmission, and high-traction drivetrains, AUSA provides efficient material handling solutions for confined urban sites and rugged off-road terrain alike.
Their recent expansion into zero-emission electric machinery and strategic partnerships with industry leaders like JLG further solidify their position as an innovator in the compact equipment market.
