600 SERIES - Safety
Heavy load stability
Low center of gravity
The very low center of gravity of the AVANT 600 allows excellent sideways stability. In stability tests the AVANT 600 machines have been tilted sideways to the limit and the results have been conclusive.
Telescopic boom
The telescopic loader boom is an essential part of this great stability. The 600 series design allows you to keep the boom retracted and the load as close to the machine as possible, simply to be extended only when required.
Load sensor
The load sensor comes as standard in the AVANT 600
series. Audible warning signals are heard if the rear
wheels are about to lift off of the ground, warning
the operator immediately should he, for example,
inadvertently move the load away from the machine
with the telescopic boom.
Advanced safety features
Rigid articulation joint
The rigid articulation joint which doesn’t swing sideways is a very important feature in a machine of this size. Thanks to this rigid design the risk of tipping over of the machine is essentially smaller, because the rigid rear chassis will not allow the front chassis to tip the machine over. Many AVANT operators already have a lot of positive experience of this feature.
Safety frame
The ROPS safety frame – a standard feature like the tinted plexiglass canopy - of the AVANT 600 series is a four post structure which really protects the operator, for instance when driving backward and accidentally hitting an obstacle. The ROPS frame and the optional FOPS canopy are tested and certified and comply with the relevant ISO standards.
