SAFETY

EXCELLENT VISIBILITY

In the development of all Avant machines the focus has been on excellent visibility. Whether the machine is equipped with a cab enclosure or safety ROPS, the operator has to see the whole machine; from front to back and both sides.

The cab enclosure, built to the front frame of the machine, has an very important role with visibility. It provides the best sight to the attachment and the work being performed. The most efficient work is achieved when the driver is sitting as near to the attachment as possible.

AVANT's eccentric telescopic boom is a third factor to visibility. The telescopic boom is offset from the center line of the machine and provides exceptional visibility in front of the operator in every position of the boom.

STABILITY

All AVANT Loaders have a rigid articulation joint. This is the single most important factor in helping to achieve excellent stability in all situations. In addition to the articulation joint, the center of gravity is as low as possible to increase the stability of the loader.

SAFETY FRAME

There is a ROPS-certified safety canopy and FOPS-certified safety roof standard on every 700 series loader.

LOAD SENSOR

The AVANT 700 series is equipped with a load sensor as standard equipment to provide an audible warning if the rear wheels are about to lift off the ground. This preemptive warning gives the operator more time to react in the event of the machine becoming unstable.

CAB OPTIONS

AVANT loaders are equipped with a certified ROPS/ FOPS safety frame with tinted plexiglass canopy standard. In addition, there are three different cab options available.

AVANT L CAB

L

The AVANT L cab is an excellent and economical choice when the operator needs protection against rain, wind and snowfall. It improves operator comfort and working conditions considerably. The cab mounts on the standard ROPS frame, which means safety is guaranteed. It consists of windscreen (equipped with wiper), right side window and rear window.

AVANT LX CAB

The AVANT LX cab provides the option of a heated cab. The LX cab has all the features of the L cab with addition of a door and a heater to further improve operator comfort in harsh weather conditions. For warmer seasons the door and windows can easily be removed if required. The optional Road Traffic Light Kit can be installed both on the L and LX cabs.

AVANT DLX CAB

The starting point of the design of the new DLX cab was to further improve the ergonomics and driver’s working conditions. The DLX cab is designed to provide best possible working conditions in the toughest environments, from hot to cold temperatures, and from rain to sunshine. Improvements include more space inside the cab, larger windows and reduced noise levels. The highly coveted options of air conditioning and air suspension seat are also now available in the new cab.

EFFICIENCY

TELESCOPIC BOOM

AVANT has been known from its telescopic boom for a long time. The telescopic boom makes it possible to have a very compact machine with a greater lifting capacity. When the telescopic boom is retracted it is possible to lift a huge amount of weight.  With the boom fully extended, the reach and lifting height are unparalleled.

OPTIDRIVE™

Avant has developed an innovative solution for improving the performance of the drive circuit in Avant loaders. In Optidrive™ drive circuit the amount of hydraulic hoses and fittings has been radically reduced and optimized.

Benefits of the Optidrive™ drive circuit:

- 10% better performance
- 60% less hydraulic connections
- 20% less hoses
- Less heat build up – in Optidrive™ the amount of flushing oil in the drive motors is 5 times bigger compared to the old system, providing a far better cooling of the drive circuit
- Parking brake in rear wheels guarantees the best possible grip on all load and terrain situations
- Less engine vibrations and noice thanks to the new engine mounts (vibration dampers). The vibrations have reduced by 37 % on Avant 755i and 760i.
- Better hydraulic connector system
- Better servicing

CONNECTING THE ATTACHMENTS

The AVANT Attachment Connection System is a simple and easy way of connecting the attachment. The mechanical connection system is half automatic. It means that the attachment can be connected and locked directly from the cab by tilting the attachment back. 

The Hydraulic Quick Attachment Coupling Plate is another way to connect to attachments and is available as an option. This quick attachment plate is operated from the cabin of the loader and makes it  possible to release and open the connection without leaving the cab.  The Hydraulic Multi Connector System of Avant is the most advanced in the market. Easy connecting and detaching is also possible with engine running and/or pressure on attachment. Connection works in all situations and it cannot be connected in the wrong way. The mechanism is leak free, so changing the attachment is no longer a messy and there is no oil drip while detaching.

EASY TO DRIVE

The articulated loaders of AVANT are very easy to drive. The loader is controlled from the steering wheel and forward or reverse driving is controlled with two pedals. The machine's compact dimensions facilitate driving, because operator can see the whole machine and attachment while sitting in the driver's seat. Even if you don't have any previous experience driving machines, you can learn to drive an AVANT with just few hours of practice.

SPEED

The new AVANT 760i is the fastest model of Avant loaders reaching speeds up to 18.5 mph. This speed allows the new 760i to compete with bigger machines in all market segments.

ECONOMY

ONE LOADER PERFORMS MULTIPLE TASKS

With over 190 attachments, AVANT is a loader with the flexibility to perform all kinds of work. Changing the attachment is very fast and simple. So, with the same loader You can perform all kinds of work just by changing the attachment.

LOW OPERATING COSTS

This compact and articulated loader consumes remarkably little fuel and under normal operating conditions, the 700-series loaders consumes less than 1 gallon of fuel per hour. The articulated structure of the 700-series loaders also reduces tire wear to a minimum.

LOW MAINTENANCE

The simple and transparent construction along with high quality components reduces significantly the need for maintenance. A low amount of electronics and the use of well-known components also helps to reduce the price of maintenance.

COMPACT AND STRONG CONSTRUCTION

AVANT loaders have been tested in the colds of Antarctica as well as in the sweltering heat of the Middle East. Years of experience and testing in all types of working conditions ensure that the loader is resilient in a variety of heavy duty working conditions and construction areas.

VERSATILITY

OVER 190 ATTACHMENTS

AVANT attachments have been designed to work as an equal partner on AVANT loaders, following these principles:

COMPATIBILITY

Best machine-attachment combination can only be achieved when a good basic machine is fitted with attachments that are specifically designed for the machine. The dimensions, auxiliary hydraulics output and other features of AVANT are in perfect balance with the attachments.

POWER

Work efficiency of the attachments is of great importance. AVANT attachments have been designed to give maximum output with the combination loader-attachment.

DURABILITY

Attachments are designed for hard, continuous professional work.

SAFETY

Special attention has been paid to safety features in attachment design.

YEAR-ROUND SOLUTION

AVANT loaders and attachments have been designed for year-round use. Cab options, work light options and technical solutions in the loaders make it as comfortable to use in the winter cold as it is on a summer afternoon. AVANT's features are very versatile for year-round use. A wide range of attachments will ensure that the machine is never sitting idle. There will be a lot of beneficial uses every season of the year.

COMPACT LOADER

Compact loader does not always mean low in power. Compared to other same sized articulated loaders, Avant has significantly smaller outer dimensions. This enables excellent visibility from the machine and working in tight spaces. In the rear of this compact loader You really feel that you are on control of the attachment and your working conditions.

GENTLE ON THE LAWN

Light weight design combined with articulation enables driving on sensitive ground without tearing it up. This saves a lot of time because you won't have to repair any damages after your work is done. There is also a mowing attachment that enables the loader to perform as an effective lawn mower on any terrain.
