Ideal for 40', 60' wides, and some 80' wides
"The 500 Series is the most frequently purchased Tent OX System machine, combining power and performance primarily for pole tents."
The Avant 500 series articulated loader* may be one of your most valuable crew members, available in 523, 528 and 530 versions. With more than 10 available Tent OX System attachments, it carries materials faster, drives and pulls stakes at a tremendous rate unmatched by other solutions. Crews spend less time on site for both setups and tear downs, and that means more money in your pocket.**
Ideal for up to 80’ wide tents
The 500 Series is an superior choice for inventories of 40, 60’ and 80’ wide pole tents.** Here is why:
- Pushes poles with ease. Four-wheel drive and highly reliable diesel power give these machines outsized center pole pushing power. It replaces either four to five people pushing manually or heavy skid steer machines that are expensive to run and transport.
- Drives and pulls stakes in blacktop at up to four stakes/minute. Driving stakes and pulling stakes on bigger tent installs may be one of the big reasons you’re spending so much time on site. The 500 Series' stake drivers eliminate all the physical stress of manhandling hammers or wielding typical 57-pound hand-held, powered drivers and it gets you off the site faster. And if you used to bring 7 people to do an install, you may find you can complete the job in less time with just four members. Less crew on site means more money in your pocket.
- Cuts hand carries to near zero. The further your tent site is from your truck, the more that hand carries add time to the job and add your payroll. But with the 500 Series' impressive 7.5-11.5 mph top speed, a lift capacity of 1750-2100 lb and the ability to jump curbs, hand carries are thankfully obsolete. In one carry you can move about a ton of tent materials, 15 decks of 4’x4’ staging or a pair of 700 lb Block and Roll® blocks.
The 500 Series makes quick work of moving Block and Roll ballast blocks
- Powerful hydraulic powerplant shoulders most of the heavy work. The 500 Series speeds stake driving and pulling, pole pushing and materials handling, leaving your crew fresh for other work. Whether you’re putting up a large pole tent or structure, it saves you hours of time on the job while improving crew morale. Both are keys to success throughout the season.
Your most valuable crew member
When you add the Tent OX system to your stable, you’ll soon view it as your most valuable crew member. With more than 10 available attachments, it carries materials, drives and pulls stakes at a tremendous rate, and much more. Use it to for safer and faster pole pushes, taking advantage of its four-wheel hydrostatic drive. Or put it to work carrying tent materials, flooring, chairs and everything else you’ll need to transport from truck to tent site. All in a fraction of the time these tasks once took.
Better efficiency = higher profits
The 500 Series, when used as recommended to maximize your time on site, can pay for itself quickly. When you spend less time on the job, you raise not just more revenue over the season, but boost profitability too.
