Avant Compact Loader Attachments - What a Capable Small Machine Can Do

In short: Avant compact loaders predominantly use their own mounting system, which differs from the common Euro-type mount found on many other loaders. Before ordering an attachment, you therefore need to check whether your particular machine uses Avant's own system or has a converted mount fitted. Jaegel offers loader attachments that can be assembled to match your machine's mount.

What makes the Avant compact loader special?

Avant is a compact, highly manoeuvrable machine widely used in landscaping, municipal services, smaller construction jobs and farms. Its small size doesn't mean limited use: with the right attachments, one machine can handle loading, digging, moving material and seasonal tasks such as snow clearing.

Which attachments suit the Avant well?

• Pallet forks: for moving pallets and material in the warehouse and outdoors, our range includes both hydraulic and mechanical versions under hydraulic pallet forks and mechanical pallet forks.
• General buckets: for loading and moving material, similar in function to a telehandler's universal bucket, but with the Avant mount.
• Seasonal attachments: for example for snow clearing and yard maintenance.

What to pay attention to when choosing the mount?

• Check the mount physically: don't assume that "it's a skid-steer loader, so a Euro mount must fit". Measure it or check the machine's documents to find out exactly which system it is.
• Hydraulic connections: attachments that need hydraulics (for example a rotating brush) require the machine to have the right number and type of hydraulic connections.
• Adapter between different systems: if you already have an attachment with a Euro mount, an adapter can sometimes bridge the two systems, but this needs to be confirmed case by case.

Common mistakes

• Assuming the mount based on machine type: small compact loaders don't automatically mean the same mounting system.
• Not checking hydraulics: an attachment looks like a fit, but won't work if hydraulics aren't available.
