Custom Truck One Source just wrapped up an exceptional TCI Expo 2025 in St. Louis, and we’re thrilled by the response from industry professionals who visited our booths. From November 6-8, tree care operators, landscapers, and fleet managers stopped by to see firsthand why Custom Truck is the trusted partner for powering forestry businesses across North America. Thank you to everyone who took the time to connect with our team and explore our latest equipment innovations.
Highlights from Our Booth
The energy at TCI Expo 2025 was incredible. Our booths (1725 and 513D) saw consistent traffic from professionals eager to learn more about our industry-leading equipment. Our seasoned experts were on hand throughout the show to discuss real-world applications, answer technical questions, and help visitors understand how Custom Truck tree care equipment can drive efficiency and profitability for their operations.
Equipment That Made an Impact
The standout performers at our booth were the Terex XT Pro series bucket trucks. The XT Pro 60/70 Rear Mount, with its impressive 75-foot working height and optional front winch, generated significant interest, particularly the 4×4 version featuring the shortest wheelbase in the market—perfect for navigating tight residential and urban spaces.
Visitors were equally impressed by the Lightning PTO system on our Terex XT Pro 56, which can save operators up to 2,000 gallons of diesel fuel annually. Combined with heights reaching 61 feet and an integrated 11-foot chip box, this model exemplifies the innovation that keeps Custom Truck at the forefront of the industry.
Our under-CDL offerings also drew substantial attention. The Fassi F115 Grapple Truck, with its 11,905 lb. lifting capacity and 390-degree rotation capabilities, opens new possibilities for fleet operators looking to expand their workforce without CDL requirements. Similarly, the 1472 Chip Truck demonstrated the performance and accessibility businesses need for high-capacity operations.
Introducing the Outback Series: Purpose-Built for Challenging Terrain
One of the most exciting debuts at TCI Expo 2025 was the all-new Outback Series, a revolutionary line of tracked easement equipment engineered specifically for off-road and hard-to-reach environments. Designed for right-of-way, backyard, and soft-ground applications where conventional trucks struggle, these machines deliver unmatched traction, stability, and reach.
The Outback 35MT-74BE Bucket was a standout at the show, featuring a 55-foot telescopic boom with an impressive 74-foot working height. What truly set it apart was the addition of Max Trax, our innovative new carrier system that increases track width to 68 inches for industry-leading stability and safety during operation. This expanded stance makes a tangible difference for crews working in challenging environments where conventional equipment can’t access the job site.
The Outback 35MT-64B is a compact yet powerful unit featuring a retracted design with extended reach and tracks that increase stability over conventional equipment. Built with high-strength steel, this model handles demanding slopes and delivers a 300 lb. platform capacity, making it ideal for challenging terrain where precision and durability matter.
The Outback Series represents a fundamental shift in how operators approach rugged terrain. With retractable tracked undercarriages, insulated booms, and extended reach capabilities, these machines give crews the mobility and performance they need where other equipment fails. The optional Max Trax carrier system was a key highlight, offering a wider 68-inch track stance that delivers industry-leading stability and safety during operation. This innovative system makes it possible to access work areas where conventional equipment can’t go- a game-changer for crews tackling backyard easements, right-of-way applications, and soft-ground environments. Combined with radio remote control options and advanced engineering, the Outback Series with Max Trax opens new revenue opportunities for forward-thinking operators looking to expand their service capabilities.
