Avant on the cheap?

[LGP Eddie]

I spotted this on another Forum and to be honest thought the guy had done a brilliant job of the conversion?

Apparently 5 minutes will have it converted back to the original hi tip dumper skip for a real dual purpose tool?

I'm certain plenty on here could make good use of such a conversion?

Nice machine, very useful

I like that. What forum was it on, anymore info on what he has done, or is it a kit he is selling?

It's on the CE Forum, and I believe it's a straightforward home built design with the lift arms cut out of road plates!

 

There was an earlier version done on the same forum, but not to this standard, which I thought was a first class job?

 

It would certainly make a great all round machine with pretty narrow access, and the ability to turn it straight back into a hi tip dumper was really handy.

You can buy a reasonable hi-tip dumper much much cheaper than a tired avant too. Seriously tempted to stick my head in at a few auctions to see what is available.

I'd agree that version of a design looks excellent, wonder what it can lift.

I used a little Jewson dumper last year and I could see a mini loader hiding in there , and as posted, much cheaper than a loader.

Very cool!

yes

Really sorry the guy posted the image up as some sort of pdf link and despite my best efforts I can't get it into a normal image?

I thought it was worth posting up so just gave it a go how it was.

 

Hopefully someone may be able to convert it? If Apple put a couple of servo levers on these Macbooks I might get on better with them!

These guys are unbelievable and made the first version of a Hi Tip Dumper Loader conversion I saw.

It's pictured briefly in the video here, but what they came up with also was well worth of a look?

 

Hat's off to them!
