Avant R28

VISIBILITY

Forward visibility in the R-series is a little weaker than in traditional Avant loader due to driver sitting on the back frame of the loader. Because the cabin of the loader is further away from the attachment is visibility to the attachment inevitably a little bit worse.

DIMENSIONS

The outer dimension of R-series and traditional Avant are the same except for the height. Due to the location of the control mode and the cabin in the R-series, the loader is about 10 cm higher than the traditional Avant-loader.

LIFTING CAPACITY

Lifting capacity of the traditional Avant and the R-series lifting capacity is practically exactly the same, when the machines are straight, and the body is not inverted. When turning the machine the lifting capacity of the R-series lifting capacity decreases faster than with traditional Avant because the structure of the machine is different and there is not as much moving counterweight with the R-series. When the body of the loader is fully turned the difference in the lifting capacity is about 150 kg for the favor of the traditional Avant.

ROTATION

Even though the turning circle of the R series is practically the same as with other Avants, it is easier to turn with the R series in very tight situations, because the driver’s seat doesn’t extend beyond the turning radius of the wheels. The advantages of the R series steering system are best shown when driving along narrow corridors and in tight situations indoors.

OVER 100 ATTACHMENTS

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

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

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

Attachments are designed for hard, continuous professional work.

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 have been made as well to the winter cold as to the summer afternoon. Avants features are therefore very versatile for year-round use. Wide range of attachments will ensure that the machine is not standing without use a large part of the year but that there will be lots of beneficial uses each time 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 machine combined with articulation enables driving on sensitive ground without harming it. This saves a lot of time because You wont have to repair damages after Your work is done. It also enables use of the loader as an effective lawn mover.

SAME LOADER PERFORMS ALL THE TASKS

With over 100 attachment Avant is a loader which is very easy and flexible to change into all kinds of works. Changing 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

Compact and articulated loader consumes remarkably little fuel and in normal use it is possible to get under 2 l/h consumption with R-series loaders. Due to the articulated structure also the consumption of the tires is minimalistic.

LOW MAINTENANCE

Simple and transparent construction and high quality components reduce significantly the need of maintanance. Low amount of electronics and the use of well-known components reduce the price of maintenance.

COMPACT AND STRONG CONSTRUCTION

Avant loaders have been tested in the colds of Antarktis as well as in the burning heats of Middle East. Strong experience and test in all kinds of working conditions ensure that the loader will last unbreakable in different kinds of heavy duty working conditions and construction areas.

TELESCOPIC BOOM

Avant has been known from its telescopic boom for a long time. It makes it possible that the structure of the loader is very compact and that the lifting capacity is great. When the telescopic boom is inside it is possible to lift huge weights while as the boom is outside it is possible to reach excellent dimension and lifting height. Very often wide dimension is even more important than the lifting height.

CONNECTING THE ATTACHMENTS

Avant attachment connection system enables simple and easy way of connecting the attachment.

Mechanical connection system is half automatical. It means that attachment can be connected and locked directly from the cab by turning the attachment enough back.

For connecting the attachment there is hydraulic quick attachment plate also available. This quick attachment plate is fully used from the cabin of the loader and with it it is possible to release and open the connection without stepping away from the cabin.

Hydraulic multi connector system of Avant is the most advanced in the market. Easy connecting and detaching also possible with engine running and/or pressure on attachment. Connection works in all situations and it cannot be connected in a wrong way. The mechanism is also leak free so changing the attacment is no longer a messy thing to do and there is no oil dropping while detaching.

EASY TO DRIVE

Articulated loaders of Avant are very easy to learn to drive. The loader is controlled from the steering wheel and driving forward and backwards happens with two pedals. The machine's compact dimensions facilitate driving, because driver can see the whole machine and attachment while sitting on the driver´s seat. Even if You don´t have any previous experience with driving machines, You can lear to drive Avant with just few hours of practise.

Avant loaders are equipped with a certified ROPS/ FOPS safety frame with tinted plexiglass canopy as standard. In addition, there are as many as three different cab options available. For R series loaders only one, cabin L, of the three is suitable.

L

AVANT cab L is an excellent and economical choice when the operator wants to have 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.
