Avant 400 series

A low operating weight, uncomplicated and economical

Avant 400 series loaders are real narrow access specialists and the smallest diesel model in the range. In spite of the small size and low weight of the 400 series, the lifting capacity of the loader is noteworthy with over 500 kg handled with ease. The loader’s turning radius is less than two meters which means the loader turns almost on the spot. Total machine width can be as narrow as 930 mm.

Avant 400 series’ compact dimensions and easy manoeuvrability make it extremely versatile for many different purposes, be it ground care, agriculture, landscaping, earthmoving, lifting and handling, etc. The machine has enough kick which guarantees the most efficient year-round work. 400 series power is sufficient for most Avant attachments.

The Ultimate Compact Loader for Every Job

Built for Stability and Safety

Avant loaders are designed with a unique articulated chassis that places the driver at the front, providing unmatched visibility of the attachment and work area. This design ensures a low centre of gravity, enhancing stability on all terrains. Unlike many other loaders, Avant’s rigid articulation joint prevents sideways movement, offering superior balance and traction in all conditions. With an advanced 4×4 hydrostatic drive system, the loader delivers optimal grip and performance on challenging surfaces.

For added safety, every Avant loader comes equipped with an open ROPS/FOPS certified cab as standard. Optional enclosed cabs (L, LX, DLX, GT) also meet strict ROPS/FOPS standards, ensuring both safety and comfort in various working environments.

Powerful Telescopic Boom for Maximum Reach

Despite their compact size, Avant loaders offer exceptional reach and lift capacity thanks to the telescopic boom. When fully retracted, the loader can handle heavier loads with stability, while the extended boom provides unmatched reach and height.

This innovative feature allows you to load trailers from one side, increasing efficiency and reducing movement on-site. Operators also benefit from excellent visibility, making it easier to work in tight spaces and across various applications.

Versatile and Built for Every Season

Avant loaders are engineered for year-round use, ensuring that your investment never sits idle. A wide range of attachments has been specifically designed to work seamlessly with Avant machines, optimising performance and efficiency across different tasks.

Whether it’s landscaping, agriculture, construction, or estate management, Avant loaders adapt effortlessly. Choose from various cab options, extra work lights, and the Opticontrol™ attachment control system to enhance productivity and operator comfort, even in extreme weather conditions.

Connecting and detaching hydraulic attachments is effortless with Avant’s hydraulic multi-connector system. This innovative feature allows quick and leak-free coupling with a single-hand movement—even when the engine is running or in freezing temperatures.

Cost-Effective and Low Maintenance

Avant loaders offer exceptional versatility with over 200 available attachments, making them a highly cost-effective solution for a wide range of tasks. Thanks to the Avant quick-attach system and hydraulic multi-connector, switching between attachments is fast and effortless, allowing operators to tackle multiple jobs with just one machine.

Built with high-quality components and a durable yet simple design, Avant loaders require minimal maintenance, reducing overall running costs. The use of trusted and reputable parts ensures reliability and extends the lifespan of the machine, making it a smart investment for any business.
