We perform a study of the charged Higgs production from an SU(3){sub C} x SU(3){sub L} x U(1){sub X} model with right-handed neutrinos, postulating a custodial symmetry which reduces the number of free parameters in the scalar potential. We compute the cross sections for charged scalars for typical and new production modes. One of the new SU(3){sub L} neutral gauge bosons, Z', affects some production cross sections distinguishing the model from other standard model extensions like, for example, the minimal supersymmetric standard model and general two-Higgs doublets models. The interplay between the Higgs sector of the model and that Z' gauge boson enhances substantially all the production rates of the lightest charged Higgs boson, H{sub 1}{sup {+-}}, at hadron colliders compared to the MSSM. We found that a large portion of the parameters space can be probed at the LHC running at 14 TeV center-of-mass energy in the associated pp{yields}W{sup {+-}H}{sub 1}{sup {+-}+}X production channel in the low luminosity run stage of the experiment.
