Avant 420

PROPERTIES ON A RIGHT SCALE

In spite of the small size and lightness of the 400 series, lifting capacity of the loader is noteworthy, about 50% of the weight of the machine. Loaders turning radius is less than two meters, so practically the loader turns on a spot. Telescopic boom is an extra option for 400 series, with it the dimendions of the loader are very good and lifting height is 2,8 meters.

THE MOST ADVANTAGEOUS ARTICULATED DIESEL LOADER FROM AVANT

Avant 420 is the most advantageous of loaders which have diesel motor. It is also the smallest of Avants loaders which have diesel motor. The maximum speed of Avant 400 series is 12km/h. Model 419 is also available in 400-series. Avant 419 is the largest gasoline powered loader of the product family of Avant.

VERSATILITY

Avant 400 series small size and easy maneuverability make this machine extremely versatile basic machine for many different purposes and location when. The machine has enough kick, which ensures the most efficient year-round work. The machine suitable size and easy maneuverability are emphasized, especially when the machine has a number, not as tests, users. Avant 400 series power is sufficient for almost all of the Avant attachments. Working Safety is a top-notch, ROPS cab is the load time standard. The maintenance items are easily available and the machine is easy to maintain.

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.

EXCELLENT VISIBILITY

In the development of all Avant machines the focus has been on excellent visibility. Driver has to see the whole machine; from the front, back and both sides. Same goes to machines equipped with safety canopy as with cabin.

Cabin which is build to the front frame of the machine has an very important role with visibility. It provides the best sight to the attachment and work.The best touch to the work is achieved when the driver is sitting as near to the attachment as possible.

Third important fact with visibility is Avants eccentric telescopic boom. Telescopic boom is located aside from the centralline of the machine and due to this the visibility to the front is very good in every position of the boom.

STABILITY

All Avant loaders have rigid articulation joint. This is the single most important factor in helping to achieve the excellent stability in all situations. In addition of articulation joint, center of gravity has been put as low as possible so that the stability of the loader increases.

SAFETY CANOPY AND ROOF AS A STANDARD

There is a ROPS-accepted safety canopy and FOPS-accepted safety roof as a standard equipment in every 400-series loader.

LOAD SENSOR

A load sensor is fitted as standard to the AVANT 400 series and provides an audible warning if the rear wheels are about to lift off the ground. This pre emptive warning gives the operator more time to react in the event of the machine becoming unstable.

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 COST

Compact and articulated loader consumes remarkably little fuel and in normal use it is possible to get under 2 l/h consumption with 400-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.

SPEED

The speed of AVANT 400 series is 12 km/h, which is enough while working in smaller areas or construction site.

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 400 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.
