Small articulated loaders are an increasingly popular alternative to more traditionally used compact track loaders and skid steers. Avant loaders provide comparable operating capacities with less operating weight and far less damage to the work surface.

"Avant is the leader in the mini-articulating loader market, offering the most versatile machine with over 220 different attachments," said Adam Daher, Avant Midwest regional manager. "We are very excited to be partnering with a dealer of CEC's caliber in Ohio. Together Avant and CEC will offer a premium product along with premium dealer support."

Avant Techno provided hands-on training to CEC's sales staff on the equipment and its various attachments. Product support staff also has been trained and will have an in-depth service training scheduled for later this fall.

"Avant is solely focused on building small articulated loaders," said Badner. "Its dedication, quality and innovation will help us provide solutions for various market segments such as tree care, municipalities, agriculture and property maintenance."
