Designed purpose of use
The AVANT Timber grab with rotator is an attachment that is designed and manufactured to be used with
AVANT multi-purpose loaders shown in Table 1. The timber grab is intended for lifting and stacking of tree
trunks, branches, or other similar materials. Rotating grab makes it possible to move materials sideways or
parallel to the machine. The timber grab equipped with hydraulic rotator makes it easy to move materials in
tight spaces and makes it possible to load materials e.g. to trailers or stacks in any direction.
The strong hydraulic grapple allows firm grip of lifted material. The freely rotating model allows to turn the
material in desired position manually or by pushing against the ground. The hydraulically rotating model
makes it easy to drive on narrow areas, and makes it easy to rotate the load into correct position for loading
on a trailer or for stacking. The hydraulically operated rotation is selected with an electric switch, or a switch of
the attachment control switch pack.
The timber grab with rotator is not designed for any other use than specified and must not be used for any
other purposes than intended.
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 catalogue 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.
