Description
The Avant 500 is a highly innovative and agile 1.3-tonne articulated mini loader engineered to deliver exceptional lifting capacities and low terrain impact in severely restricted environments. Featuring a specialised centre-pivot articulated steering layout and a structural telescopic boom, this machine eliminates the ground scrubbing typical of skid steers, providing smooth manoeuvring across sensitive surfaces. It serves as a vital compact asset within our parent bobcats-skidsteers-dry-hire-perth fleet, riding on durable turf-friendly or pneumatic tyres that optimise traction while safeguarding established brick paving, lawns, and domestic landscapes from heavy surface scuffing.
To deliver ultimate utility across trade, landscaping and tight civil works, the Avant 500 can be configured with an extensive selection of specialised attachment hire systems. It handles heavy-duty 4-in-1 buckets, high-torque earth augers, hydraulic sweepers, and specialised multi-function attachments effortlessly. These tool integrations allow building crews and field contractors to quickly distribute road base, scrape site levels, and carry heavy pallets without manual labour. If your oncoming layout requires an even narrower transport width or steps into high-capacity civil skid steer ranges, you can also review the adjacent Toyota 4SDK4 1.0T Mini Skid Steer or the larger Toyota 5SDK8 2.6T Skid Steer.
