ARNS is a proud dealer of Avant, the world leaders in articulating loaders.
Whether you are an acreage owner, looking for the most adaptable option for your property, or a business owner looking to own the best tool for most jobs, there is a solution in Avant for you.
Avant Loaders began over 30 years ago with a mission to simplify tough farm tasks, starting with silage distribution. The first Avant, a skid steer loader, revolutionized this work, replacing manual labor with a machine that could feed dozens of cows in minutes. This initial success fueled continuous product development, leading to diesel versions, more attachments, and expansion into new markets like landscaping and private use. The introduction of the articulated Avant in 1995 further broadened their reach. Today, Avant boasts seven model series, over 200 attachments, and sales of 150 machines per week across more than 50 export countries, all thanks to a dedication to innovation and quality production.
