| Rigid
articulation joint
The rigid articulation joint which doesn’t
swing sideways is a very important feature in a machine of
this size. Thanks
to this rigid design the risk of tipping over of the machine
is essentially smaller, because the rigid articulation joint
will not allow excessive sideways movements and the whole
weight of the machine acts as counterweight and keeps the
chassis stable. Many AVANT operators already have a lot of
positive experience of this feature.
Safety frame
The ROPS safety frame – a standard feature
like the tinted plexiglass canopy - is a four post structure
which
really protects the operator, for instance when driving backward
and accidentally hitting an obstacle. The ROPS frame and
the optional FOPS canopy are tested and certified and comply
with the relevant ISO standards.
Telescopic boom
The telescopic loader boom is an essential
part of the great stability. The boom design allows you to
keep the boom retracted
and the load as close to the machine as possible, simply
to be extended only when required.
Boom self levelling
The boom self levelling system can be
mounted both on the standard fixed length boom and on the
telescopic boom. Self
levelling makes load handling easier, quicker and more precise.
Load
sensor
The load sensor comes as standard in the new AVANT
500 series. Audible warning signals are heard if the rear wheels
are
about to lift off of the ground, warning the operator immediately
should he, for example, inadvertently move the load away
from the machine with the telescopic boom.
