Works safely in tight area
An Avant 750 compact wheeled loader, supplied by local dealer Avant Equipment of Glastonbury, has proved to be the perfect tool for Somerset-based manufacturer of rubber play surfaces, Star Rubber Environmental.
The company had been using a 4m reach telehandler for all its external and internal handling activities but this was far too large for the efficient loading of raw material into the feed hopper inside the production building.
In contrast, the Avant has proved to be ideal for the application thanks to its compact dimensions, articulated chassis and driver visibility, which allow it to work safely in the tight access area involved.
To enable it to easily reach the high level feed hopper, Star Rubber has equipped its Avant with a large toe-tip bucket which can fill the hopper in just three passes.
