Avant Tecno introduces two new loader models

AVANT TECNO INTRODUCES TWO NEW LOADER MODELS IN THE POPULAR 600 SERIES

The new Avant 645i and 650i are the most powerful loaders in their size class in the world, with dimensions and lifting power in the same range with the previous 600 series models, but with a new more powerful engine.

Kubota’s 33 kW / 44 hp diesel engine provides plenty of power and torque for work which requires high pulling force and/or is speed intensive. Other loader manufacturers do not have nearly as efficient machines in the same size range. The current EU Stage V emission standard for diesel engines in non-road mobile machinery requires a catalytic converter and a particulate filter for engines above 19 kW. Avant is the first manufacturer to bring such loaders to the market in this size class. The new loaders have a certified ROPS/FOPS open cab as standard.

Both the L-cab and Avant’s latest GT cab, which is completely unique in this size class, are available as an option. The noise and vibration isolation of the spacious and modern GT cab are excellent, and the efficient heating and ventilation, good ergonomics, and the large windows provide superior comfort for the operator. Air conditioning is also available in the GT cab. The familiar Avant concept guarantees efficient work: articulated steering allows turning without tyre marks, and the operator sitting in the front chassis has a perfect view on the attachment and the working area. The low centre of gravity, together with the rigid articulation joint which doesn’t swing sideways, increase stability and provide a higher tipping load. The telescopic lifting boom comes as standard for the new models. The length of the telescope is 600 mm, and the maximum lifting height is 2.84 m to the hinge pin of the attachment coupling plate. This enables, for example, loading on trucks and unloading loads from high up. The hydraulic boom self-levelling system automatically keeps the load horizontal when the boom is lifted and lowered. The 600 series has the Avant specific quick attachment plate for attachments, and hydraulic quick locking of the locking pins is also available. The hydraulic hoses of the attachment are conveniently connected to a multi connector as in all Avants. Avant’s range of attachments is the largest in the world, and over 200 attachments are also available for the 600 series. With production of the new loader models beginning later this year, the Avant is clearly a very versatile and useful machine ideal for those operating in the likes of construction, demolition, landscaping, property maintenance and farming.

FEATURES AT A GLANCE

• Avant 645i and 650i models are the most compact over 26 hp Stage V / Tier 4

Final compliant loaders in the market. • The single speed 645i and the two-speed 650i are equipped with a Kubota V1505CRT diesel engine. The 4-cylinder 1498 cm3 turbocharged common rail engine has a power output of 33 kW / 44 hp. The oxidation catalyst and particulate filter handle the exhaust aftertreatment, and no additives (AdBlue) are required. • The maximum oil flow of the auxiliary hydraulics is 75 l / min, which is unique to a loader in this size class. The new loaders can run almost any of Avant’s hydraulically driven attachments. • Hydrostatic transmission with a hydraulic drive motor on each wheel is a familiar feature of Avant compact loaders.

Avant 645i is equipped with 1-speed motors (max. driving speed 13 km/h), while the 650i has 2-speed motors and a max. driving speed of 25 km/h. • Due to their low own weight (1620/1630kg), the loaders are easy to transport and gentle on turf surfaces.
