Picking apples before they fall to the ground helps keep them in pristine condition - but this is not always possible; a windy day can lead to most of an apple crop ending up on the ground.
This rolling collector is a clever tool that enables speedy gathering of the fallen apples without bending down. The 33cm wide head has metal wire rods that keep their position until they are pushed over an apple (or other fruit), at which point they expand just enough to allow the fruit into the centre of the collecting head. The tension is such that they do not release the cargo until they are opened by the specially designed bucket clip.
Coming with a telescopic handle that extends from 1m to 1.44m, the whole unit weighs just 1 kilo, and can contain up to 10 apples (depending on size and weight) in between bucket drops
Key benefits:
Quick and efficient harvesting: The rolling apple picker allows you to pick up multiple apples in one go, moving the fruit from the ground to your kitchen or storage far quicker than hand picking
Gentle on dropped fruit: The flexible tines of the collector are gentle enough to allow fruit inside without damaging or bruising it, then once back in shape robust enough to keep it inside ready for storage
Reduces strain: Designed to make apple collection less of a strain on the joints, the apple collector reduces the need for continual bending to harvest the fallen fruit
Lightweight and extendable: Weighing in at just 1kg the apple collector is easy to manoeuvre, whilst the telescopic handle that can move from 1m to 1.44m in length allows for a further reach
Dimensions: The collector measures 30cm x 30cm x 144cm at maximum extension
