Vibrating-head Trunk-Shaker Mechanical Harvest Kit with Optional Umbrella for Your Tracked Skid-Steer Loader

Convert your skid-steer loader (wheeled or tracked, +4T class) into a robust olive‑harvesting machine. This high-performance kit pairs proven Italian vibration head technology with a reverse umbrella, universal couplers, and cabin-integrated controls.

Terrain Advantage

Access full-grove terrain - even rolling hills and slope-heavy blocks!
Your skid‑steer unit mounted with the mechanical shaker attachment navigates undulating terrain and tighter alleys where other larger self-propelled harvesters struggle to operate.

Features Overview

• New-generation vibration head built for high-frequency shaking, delivering double-speed, bi-directional motion to cleanly detach fruit via peduncle torsion, which can yield up to 99% harvest efficiency depending on orchard conditions 
• Self-centring & self-braking head design, ideal for imperfect trunk alignment and uneven orchard terrain 
• Clamp opening up to 55cm, with patented jaw geometry to minimise bark scrapes while handling scaffolding and multi‑stem trunks
• Fast-attach universal coupling plate, compatible with top brands like Bobcat, Caterpillar, JCB, New Holland, Komatsu, and more 
• Fully-integrated reverse umbrella (optional)-available in 5m, 6m, or 7m sizes; includes rear hatch for trailer unloading and handles - 300kg of olives
• Electro-hydraulic cabin control system using your loader’s joystick & switch....automating clamp → vibrate (forward/reverse) → release operations
• Open hydraulic circuit, leveraging loader auxiliary hydraulics with in-line pump and valve logic... no external power pack required unless custom upgrades are needed
• Compact footprint: 2.45m total length, total weight approx. 1,540kg including 300kg fruit-case frame
