What are battery-powered electric olive harvesters with double rotary motion used for?
Double rotary motion olive harvesters are designed to facilitate the harvesting of olives quickly and efficiently. Their main function is to facilitate the detachment of olives from the branches, avoiding the accidental falling of leaves or damage to the plant. Thanks to their articulated rotary motion, they generate both direct shaking of the branch and a vibrating action on the individual berries, ensuring an effective olive harvest, even those that are most resistant to detachment.
This type of olive harvester is particularly useful in the following situations:
- Unpruned or dense olive trees: thanks to its ability to penetrate deeply, the olive harvester can reach even the olives hidden among the most intricate branches, offering a high harvesting yield.
- Small and hard-to-detach olives: the rotary motion allows even the smallest and most tenacious olive varieties to be harvested effectively, minimising operator fatigue.
- Large olive groves: suitable for working on large surfaces, it optimises harvesting times and is ideal for farms and professional operators who need to cover large areas.
Double rotary motion olive harvesters and shakers are used by both professionals and semi-professionals. They can be used effectively by experienced operators in large olive groves, but are also suitable for those with a hobbyist knowledge of the sector, provided they acquire a minimum of practice in operating the machine.
How do battery-powered electric olive harvesters with double rotary motion work?
Double rotary motion olive harvesters use a complex mechanism that combines the rotation and oscillation of the prongs to shake the branches of the olive tree and facilitate the detachment of the olives. This advanced technology allows for a very effective harvesting action, ensuring efficient work on all types of plants and olives.
The harvester is powered by a battery-powered electric motor, usually 12V, which sets the prongs on the head of the tool in motion. The harvesting action takes place through these movements:
- Rotary motion of the prongs: the head of the olive harvester rotates in a circular motion, allowing the prongs to come into contact with the olives and branches. This movement both shakes the branch and acts directly on the olive, facilitating its detachment.
- Shaking of the branch: the combination of rotary motion and oscillatory motion allows the olive harvester to shake the branch evenly, minimising the risk of damage to the plant and ensuring a complete harvest.
- Penetration between branches: the structure of the prongs and the articulated rotation allow the harvester to penetrate deep into the densest branches, ensuring efficient harvesting even on plants not pruned or particularly tangled.
Using the olive harvester requires a certain amount of skill in applying the right pressure and movement. The operator must hold the pole firmly, which can be a telescopic pole or fixed, and pass the olive harvester between the branches of the olive tree, simulating the movement of a comb. The action takes place both upwards towards the ground and in the opposite direction, adapting to the structure of the plant.
it is important to choose the most suitable operating speed, if the olive harvester has adjustable speeds, based on the type of olive and the structure of the tree. Some models allow you to select between one or two speeds, offering greater flexibility of use.
Advantages of double rotary motion olive harvesters and shakers
Battery-powered electric olive harvesters with double rotary motion offer numerous advantages over other olive harvest systems, making them ideal tools for both professionals and advanced hobbyists. Here are the main ones:
- Harvesting efficiency: thanks to the rotary motion of the prongs, these olive harvesters guarantee a high harvesting capacity. They are also effective on small and difficult-to-detach olives, increasing productivity compared to manual harvesting methods or single-motion olive harvesters and shakers.
- Work area coverage: the ability to cover a very large area, both horizontally and vertically, allows every part of the plant to be reached. This is particularly advantageous when working on unpruned trees or in olive groves with very dense plants, ensuring a complete harvest without leaving any olives on the branches.
- Adaptability to different types of plants and olives: the double rotary motion olive harvester is suitable for working on any olive cultivar and all types of olives, regardless of size and resistance to detachment. This makes it a versatile tool suitable for different production situations.

Technical features of battery-powered electric olive harvesters with double rotary motion
The double rotary motion olive harvesters and shakers available from AgriEuro have a number of technical features that allow you to choose the model that best suits your needs. Each technical aspect affects the performance and effectiveness of the olive harvester, making it more or less suitable for different types of trees and olives. Let's take a detailed look at the main features that distinguish these tools.
Battery type
Battery-powered is a fundamental component of double rotary motion olive harvesters, as it determines the power and autonomy of the tool. There are two main types of battery-powered:
- 12V car battery: powers the olive harvester reliably and consistently, allowing for prolonged use without interruption. This type of battery is suitable for intensive use, ensuring high performance even on particularly dense and intricate plants.
- Lithium battery: offers greater portability and lightness compared to the car battery. It is ideal for those looking for an easy-to-handle and less cumbersome olive harvester, while still maintaining high autonomy. The available voltages range from 12/16 volts, 44/50 volts and 56/58 volts, offering different power options depending on harvesting requirements.
Battery positioning
The positioning of the battery affects the manoeuvrability and ergonomics of the olive harvester. There are two main configurations:
- Battery-powered backpack: ensures even weight distribution, allowing the operator to work for long periods without fatigue. The battery is carried in an ergonomic backpack, reducing strain on the arms and facilitating movement between branches.
- Integrated battery: positioned directly on the olive harvester, it makes the tool more compact. This configuration is ideal for those who want a less bulky solution, but it can make the olive harvester slightly heavier during use.
Recommended type of movement and harvesting
The double rotary motion is the most advanced and efficient technology among the olive harvest systems found in battery-powered electric olive harvesters. This type of mechanism combines two distinct and simultaneous types of movement, ensuring a more effective and efficient action than other systems. The result is faster, more effective harvesting with a high yield, even in difficult working conditions, such as dense, not pruned trees or trees with olives that are particularly resistant to detachment.
The double rotary motion is based on these two key elements:
- Rotary movement of the prongs: the prongs, which form the end of the harvester and come into direct contact with the olive tree branches, move in a circular rotary motion. This means that the prongs do not simply swing back and forth, as is the case with harvesters and shakers with alternating movement, but rotate around a central axis. This movement allows the prongs to embrace and shake the branches evenly, increasing their ability to penetrate the canopy and reach even the deepest olives. Thanks to this rotary motion, the olive harvester is able to harvest olives from different angles, optimising the process of detaching the fruit from the branches.
- Combined oscillatory movement: simultaneously with the rotation, the prongs also perform an oscillatory movement, similar to that of a comb passing through the branches. This oscillation generates a constant and gentle vibration, which acts directly on the olives. This double movement - combined rotation and oscillation – shakes the branch and exerts slight pressure on the fruit, helping it to detach. This oscillatory movement, combined with the rotation, creates a vibrating effect on each olive, making detachment particularly effective even for the most stubborn varieties or when the fruit is firmly attached to the branch.
Materials and types of pole
The pole of the olive harvester is one of the key elements that determines its manoeuvrability and versatility. There are several options to choose from:
- Carbon pole: extremely lightweight, it allows you to work for long periods without fatigue. It is the best choice for professional use and for those who need to reach higher branches.
- Aluminium pole: more economical but heavier than the carbon pole, it offers greater strength and durability. Suitable for those looking for a good compromise between cost and performance.
- Fixed pole: lightweight and less expensive, perfect for working on medium-height plants. However, it does not allow you to reach the tops of taller trees.
- Telescopic pole: adjustable in length, it allows you to reach heights ranging from 200 to 310 cm. It offers greater versatility and adaptability, although it is slightly heavier.
Olive harvester head materials
The head of the olive harvester can be made of different materials, each with its own characteristics:
- Plastic head: lightweight and durable, offering a good balance between durability and manoeuvrability. Suitable for prolonged use without tiring the operator.
- Aluminium head: combines lightness and strength, ensuring long life. An ideal option for those looking for a reliable, high-quality tool.
- Magnesium head: very lightweight and corrosion-resistant, offering excellent manoeuvrability. Perfect for those who need to work for several hours without interruption.
- Carbon head: extremely lightweight and sturdy, it guarantees maximum efficiency and minimises fatigue during use. Ideal for professional and intensive use.
Prong material
The prongs are the part that comes into direct contact with the olives and branches. The choice of material affects the strength and effectiveness of the harvest:
- ABS prongs: flexible and resistant, they do not damage the plant and are ideal for harvesting more delicate olives.
- Carbon prongs: lighter and longer, they offer high penetration capacity between branches. They are recommended for professional use, but may be less resistant than ABS prongs.
Positioning and type of motor
The motor is the heart of the olive harvester and its positioning affects the manoeuvrability of the tool:
- Motor at the bottom of the pole: ensures better weight balance, making the olive harvester easier to handle and less tiring to use.
- Motor at the top: less common, it can be more awkward to manoeuvre during work sessions of extension.
- Brush motor: more economical but requires more maintenance. Suitable for hobby or semi-professional use.
- Induction motor (brushless): quiet and with a longer life, requires less maintenance and offers high performance. Ideal for professional use.
Number of speeds
The ability to adjust the speed of the olive harvester is a factor that affects its flexibility of use:
- One speed: offers simple and straightforward operation, suitable for those who prefer a tool without too many adjustments.
- Two speeds: allows you to adapt the power of the olive harvester to different harvesting conditions, offering greater versatility.
- Strokes per minute (bpm): the speed of the prongs varies from 1000-1100 to 1200-1300 bpm, affecting the speed and efficiency of harvesting.
Guide to purchasing the best double rotary motion olive harvesters
Choosing the most suitable double rotary motion olive harvester requires evaluating several factors, based on the type of work to be done, the size of the area to be worked and production needs. Here are some things to consider in order to make the right choice:
- Type of work to be done: for large olive groves or tangled trees, we recommend a model with a lithium battery and induction brushless motor, which guarantees durability and power. For smaller areas, an olive harvester with a 12V car battery still offers excellent performance.
- Size of the area to be worked: for large olive groves, a carbon pole is ideal, as it reaches high branches without tiring the operator. For smaller areas, a fixed aluminium pole is sufficient and offers robustness;
