Editorial As the year is closing to an end it is time for a short recap 2016 has been a year full of technological breakthroughs for Avant. We have launched the full electric e series. With this innovation Avant is the first to introduce the lithium ion battery technology to the loader market. In addition to this we have invested heavily into 3D printing and are now partners in a company that has the biggest 3D metal printer in the Nordic countries. It gives our R&D department a possibility to produce prototypes and do quick-paced small series production. It also allows us to create new...

Avant once again at the forefront of development full • 100% battery powered electric loaders • Zero emission • Extremely low noise • Around 1400–1600 kg operating weight • Tipping load 950 kg • Auxiliary hydraulics 30 l/min

loader The Avant electric loader is the result of a long development process. For the first time the idea was taken up to a product in 1997, when the first full electric Avant loader was introduced. Technology was not advanced enough at the time and the project was discontinued soon after it started. The next time the electric loader was on the table of product development in 2009, however the production costs were still too high for the project to be taken forward. Since then the technology of the loaders and also different battery solutions have evolved considerably so that in 2015 we...

he full electric Avant e-series is the answer to customers’ wishes, as well as to future emission standards. A battery powered loader is especially suitable for indoor use where ventilation is limited or non-existent. It can work at full power without emissions, and the operator and workers are not exposed to the exhaust emissions which create health risks. A further benefit of a battery driven machine is the extremely low noise level. This offers the possibility to work also in noise restricted areas or where minimum interference caused by worksite noise is a plus. Customers benefiting the...

the construction or work site. It lifts, transports, loads, demolishes and sweeps – quickly and efficiently. The new e series features two models: Avant e5 and Avant e6. The quick attach system as well as the multi connector for the attachment hydraulics are the same as in other Avant models, so the large attachment range is suitable also to the e series. The loader has an integrated battery charger, which makes it possible to charge batteries anywhere a 230 volt/16A power outlet is available. The e series can also be operated while charging the batteries.

Avant e5 is a full electric loader, equipped with a lead acid battery unit. The e5 offers good value for money with conventional battery technology. The type which can also be found on most electric forklifts. It offers zero emission, extremely low noise and low running costs. The e5 has approximately the same technical capabilities as an Avant 500 series and it can run many Avant attachments. From the technical side the e5 is equipped with a 240Ah lead acid battery. It is equipped with two electric motors: a 6kW motor for driving the machine and a 2kW motor for loader boom operation and...

Avant e6 is the first loader in the world using lithium battery technology. Its advanced lithium battery system derives from research Avant has done together with Valmet Automotive. Valmet Automotive has extensive experience in battery systems design and manufacturing projects in the automotive industry and machinery. Avant e6 is equipped with a 288 Ah lithium battery. It is equipped with two electric motors: a 6kW motor for driving the machine and a 2kW motor for loader boom operation and auxiliary hydraulics. An onboard charging unit is included in the machine, which enables charging from...

NEW ATTACHMENTS Dozer blade 2000 Equipped with hydraulic blade turning, Avant dozer blade is the ideal tool for snow removal, earthmoving and similar jobs where the materials must be dozed away quickly. Dozer blade 2000 features a completely new design. The blade is higher and more curved than earlier and moves material more efficiently to the side. Hydraulic slewing, spring release and skid shoes are standard equipment like before. So are the turnable 2x310 mm extensions which can be mounted in straight or collecting position. The completely new floating system allows the blade to float...

• Two solid skid shoes which reduce blade wear and improve maneuverability • Robust construction and higher blade than on 1400 mm dozer blade for more efficient dozing • Versatile dozer blade, efficient on larger areas but still compact enough for tight situations as well • Turnable 2 x 310 mm extensions as standard, can be mounted in collection position or straight • Support wheels, instead of skid shoes, available as an option - keep working height more constant when working on sensitive surfaces Options: A4I7437 Ice cutting edges, kit, for main blade and extensions A4I744I Rubber...

Light material bucket Light material buckets are intended for handling snow, saw dust, manure, wood chips and other light materials. The bottom of a light material bucket is considerably longer and the sides are higher than on a general bucket, which speeds up the work a lot. There are no reinforcement plates inside the bucket which would interfere when loading and emptying, and the sides open forward in a slight angle which guarantees easy and complete emptying of all kinds materials. • Fast and easy moving of light materials • Excellent visibility to the edge of the bucket • No...
