Designed purpose of use
The AVANT Demolition grapple bucket is an attachment suitable for use with AVANT multi purpose loaders
shown in Table 1. The Demolition grapple bucket combines a normal bucket and a grapple and is therefore
suitable for a multitude of jobs.
The robust bucket is intended mainly to transport loose and irregular objects or materials, where the hydraulic
grapples make the work significantly more efficient. The demolition bucket is especially practical tool for all
demolition, clearing, and construction work, but the agile combination of Avant loader and a bucket is well
suited also for other material grabbing and transporting tasks. Together with an Avant loader and other
construction and demolition attachments intended for Avant loaders, the demolition bucket is an excellent and
long lasting tool for also tough conditions.
The bucket makes it possible to grab on materials along its whole width, as the grapples press down
independently with equal force. The hydraulically operated bucket is controlled from the driver’s seat of the
loader with the auxiliary hydraulics control system of the loader and both grapples move with the same
control. The hydraulic components on the bucket are covered so that trouble-free operation is ensured also in
demanding tasks. The bucket must not be used when its cylinders or hydraulic parts are submerged in water.
The bucket is not intended to transport persons or to be used as a work platform even in temporary use. The
bucket and its grapples are not intended for other purposes than grabbing and holding on to material in the
bucket.
The attachment has been designed to require as little maintenance as possible. The operator can perform
regular maintenance tasks. All repair work can’t be performed by the operator, and demanding repair and
maintenance operations are to be left for professional maintenance. All maintenance work must be done using
proper safety equipment. Spare parts must be identical with original specifications, which can be ensured by
using only original spare parts. A separate spare parts catalog may be available, consult your Avant dealer.
Familiarise yourself with the manual's instructions regarding service and maintenance. Please contact your
AVANT retailer if you have additional questions about the operation or maintenance of the equipment, or if
you require spare parts or maintenance services.

The compatibility recommendations are based on the width of the loader, lifting capacity, and adequate
breakout force. Normally the width of the attachment should match roughly the width of the loader. When
using too wide attachment the actual breakout force (bucket tilting capacity) decreases and the overall
performance will decrease. To estimate the lifting capacity of the loader the load diagram shown in the
operator’s manual of the loader can be used. When using with models marked with (
, full performance may
not be achieved. Additional counterweights may also be required. For compatibility information with a model
not shown in table above, contact your Avant dealer.
