Avant
The most multi-functional loader in the world
With sales offices already established in Finland, Germany, and the United Kingdom, in May 2012, Avant Tecno expanded operations to the United States. The modest 5,400 square foot facility in Elk Grove Village, Illinois quickly became too small with the rapid growth of this unique product. So, in the Summer of 2014, the Avant USA crew moved to a new facility in Arlington Heights, Illinois and now boasts the largest Avant inventory in the world.
The Chicagoland area has been an excellent place to conduct business for Avant. It has one of the most highly skilled workforces in the country, access to large waterways, major highways, and 25% of all US rail traffic passes through Chicagoland. With Territory Managers and dealerships established in the four major regions of the United States, Avant USA next set its sights on crossing the Canadian border. In 2015, Avant USA hired a Canadian Territory Manager to set-up dealerships and conduct business.
With the skid-steer being a uniquely American invention, the market is one of the most saturated markets in North America with nearly every major manufacturer producing a version of the skid-steer. However, early feedback was clear and strongly positive: Avant is offering a completely different and distinctive solution for the landscaper, arborist, property manager, and farmer. To put it another way, Avant is challenging the conventional wisdom of the market by winning hearts and minds all across the continent.

Compact Machines Built for Versatile Work
An Avant machine is designed to take on a wide range of applications while remaining compact, maneuverable, and easy to transport. These loaders are especially useful for jobs where larger equipment may be too heavy, too wide, or too difficult to maneuver.
Avant loaders are commonly used for:
- Landscaping and hardscaping projects
- Property maintenance
- Snow removal
- Tree care and grounds work
- Material handling
- Light construction
- Municipal and facility maintenance
- Agricultural and estate work
Because Avant equipment can be paired with a wide attachment range, one loader can support many different tasks throughout the year. That makes it a practical choice for crews that need flexible equipment without adding multiple specialized machines to the fleet.
Why Choose an Avant Loader?
Avant loaders stand out because they combine compact size with impressive lifting ability, hydraulic performance, and operator visibility. Their design helps crews work efficiently in areas where access is limited, including residential properties, sidewalks, parks, nurseries, commercial sites, and developed urban areas.
Depending on the model and attachment setup, an Avant loader may help with:
- Moving soil, mulch, gravel, and debris
- Loading and unloading materials
- Clearing snow
- Lifting pallets or jobsite supplies
- Mowing, sweeping, digging, or grading
- Working around buildings, fences, trees, and finished surfaces
For many customers, the value is in having one compact loader that can handle several types of work. Instead of relying on separate machines for seasonal or specialty jobs, operators can adapt the same machine with different attachments as project needs change.
