Designed purpose of use 

The AVANT Timber grab is an attachment that is designed and manufactured to be used with AVANT multi-

purpose loaders that are shown in Table 1. The Timber grab is intended for moving tree trunks, branches, or 

other similar materials. The strong hydraulic grapple allows firm grip of lifted material. 
This model of Timber grab is equipped with a fixed grab that does not rotate. The timber grab model A437203 

is equipped with a hydraulic rotator which makes it possible to move materials sideways or parallel to the 

loader. 
Any straps, chains, or ropes must not be attached to the timber grab for lifting purposes. The Timber grab is 

not designed for any other use than specified and must not be used for any other purposes than what is 

intended for. 

 

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.
