Avant adds more versatility


Avant Tecno (UK) reports that demand for the hire of its compact, lightweight multi-purpose machines has increased significantly because of the


current financial climate. This demand comes from professionals working in construction, grounds care, forestry, fencing, landscaping, property maintenance, farming, and materials handling, who appreciate the fact that the units can be fitted with many different attachments, from buckets and dozer blades, to mowers and snow blowers. MD Jukka Vaatovaara says that demand for the company’s log splitter and wood chipper attachments has grown considerably as


more people are producing firewood as a cost-effective fuel supply. He adds that, at the Executive Hire Show in February, Avant will unveil several new implements to further extend the machines’ versatility.

Belle reports that its BMD 300 MiniDumper continues to be popular with a broad range of hirers, from nationals such as Brandon, Speedy and A-Plant, to independents like Gem Tool Hire and Hutton Hire & Supplies. The machine has a payload capacity of 300kg and various attachments can be fitted to increase its versatility and hire potential.


Monumental masons have used the dumper with a flat bed to facilitate transportation of headstones in cemeteries, and caravan parks find the towing hitch useful for moving caravans.
