Avant Tecno Set to Showcase Two New Products at GroundsFest

At GroundsFest 2025, Avant Tecno (Stand OSA270) will be showcasing two major new product launches.

The Avant e727 fully electric compact loader and the Leguan 265, the most advanced spider lift in the Leguan Lifts range will be taking price od place.

But that’s not all – visitors will also have the chance to test their skills in the Avant National Pro Challenge, a high-energy operator competition with great prizes up for grabs.

The Avant e727 – Fully Electric, Fully Capable

Avant’s new e727 compact loader is designed to meet the demands of modern construction, landscaping, agriculture, and equestrian applications.

With a 27 kWh Avant OptiTemp® battery, up to 5.5 hours of operating time, and a 1400 kg lift capacity, this fully electric machine matches the power and speed of its diesel counterpart – but with whisper-quiet operation and cutting-edge energy efficiency.

At the heart of the e727 is Avant’s new Autoshift system, which seamlessly shifts between gears and optimises driveline efficiency for smoother operation and longer run times.

Whether handling materials on tight urban sites or tackling light-to-medium hydraulic attachments, the e727 is a forward-thinking solution for professionals looking to reduce emissions without sacrificing performance.

Leguan 265 – The Flagship Spider Lift Redefining Versatility

Also making a big impression is the Leguan 265, the fastest 27-metre spider lift in the world.

It reaches its 26.5-metre working height in just 1 minute and 35 seconds, offering a 13.6-metre outreach and 250 kg lift capacity. Built for performance across tree care, maintenance, and construction, the Leguan 265 brings a rugged track system, 45% gradeability, and a market-leading low centre of gravity for unbeatable terrain handling.

Operators will appreciate intuitive features like the Leguan EDX operating system, automatic levelling, electric rotation platform, and joystick controls for total confidence in any environment.

Whether you're running a rental fleet or managing specialist height access projects, the Leguan 265 raises the bar.

Test Your Skills: The Avant National Pro Challenge

Do you have what it takes to be crowned Avant’s top operator? The Avant National Pro Challenge returns with a purpose-built course designed to put your loader skills to the test.

Precision, speed, and control are the name of the game – and yes, there are prizes to be won!

Explore the Full Range

Alongside the showstopping new e727 and Leguan 265, Avant will be showcasing their broader range of compact loaders and access platforms.

It’s the perfect chance to speak to the team, get hands-on with the machines, and discover what makes Avant and Leguan trusted names across so many industries.
