Two new single speed loader models complete the Avant 800 series
Published 21/11 at 10:24The Avant loader series is now complete with two loader models entering production. The Avant 855i is a single speed version of the most powerful Avant model, the 860i, whilst the new Avant 845 is a single speed version of the Avant 850. Aimed at different markets, the Avant 855i complies with the world’s strictest emissions standards (Stage V and Tier 4) whereas the Avant 845 is directed to markets with Stage 3a emission standards.
Avant 855i: the power of the 800 series at a more affordable price
The new Avant 855i lifts significantly more than the next largest single speed model, Avant 755. “The new 855i is Avant’s most powerful loader model. It is the perfect choice for Avant users who demand strong lifting capacity and lifting height, but don’t want to pay extra for speed if they don’t need it,” says Tuomas Färlin, commercial product and sales manager at Avant Tecno Oy. The new Avant 855i has the same Kohler ‘KDI’ engine, pump package, and electrical and mechanical components as the Avant 860i, with the Poclain MSE05 single speed drive motors (625cc) being new.
Thanks to the simpler drive motors, the price of the new Avant 855i is significantly lower compared to the two speed Avant 860i. Avant 855i has the same lift capacity and lift height as the strongest Avant model 860i. Also, the auxiliary hydraulics flow, the external dimensions of the loader and the options are the same as in the 860i. The single speed Avant 855i has a maximum drive speed of 15km/h being purpose designed for short transitions, especially when moving with heavy loads. The pulling force of the machine on standard tyres is 1570kp.
Excellent loader for farms and construction
Avant states that its 855i is a much needed loader model for many users who do not need high driving speed for long transitions but require the lift capacity, lift height and strong pulling force of the Avant 800 series. Designed to be stable and sturdy, the Avant 855i is said to be the perfect choice for work on farms or construction sites where heavy loads are moved and distances from one place to another are not long. Its affordable purchase price enables investment in more attachments and accessories that increase work efficiency.
Avant 845: single speed version of Avant 850
The new Avant 845, like Avant 850, has the same Kubota V2403 engine. With this simple single speed version and its new 625cc Poclain drive motors, users are said to be provided with the strong pulling force and high lifting capacity of the 800 series at a much lower cost. With a maximum drive speed of 12km/h, the 845 is also suited for farms and construction sites where heavy loads are handled but the driving distances are short. The electrical and mechanical components are identical with the Avant 850 model, as well as the dimensions and options.
