• Areas with dense foliage: The thin head and length of the prongs allow the harvester to penetrate between the branches, making it suitable for trees with dense foliage and dense branches.

Battery-powered olive harvesters and shakers with horizontal movement work thanks to a battery-powered motor that sets in motion a series of prongs arranged on the head of the tool. The motor generates a horizontal movement that causes the prongs to oscillate sideways, shaking the branches of the olive tree and causing the olives to fall. This action, inspired by the effect of a comb, allows a large area to be covered in a short time, making the olive harvest much faster and more efficient than manual harvesting.

Here is a detailed description of the main stages of operation:

• Power supply: The olive harvester is powered by a 12V car battery or a lithium battery. The lithium battery offers greater portability and autonomy, while the car battery provides constant power but limits mobility somewhat.
• Movement of the prongs: The prongs move horizontally and laterally, ensuring a wide grip on the branches. This type of movement is particularly effective for harvesting ripe olives, facilitating detachment without damaging the plant.
• Transmission system: The motor, which can be positioned either at the top or at the base of the pole, transmits power to the prongs through a mechanical transmission system. The position of the motor affects the balance and manoeuvrability of the olive harvester.
• Use and manoeuvrability: The olive harvester is held by the pole and passed along the branches of the olive tree, from top to bottom or vice versa, depending on the harvesting requirements. In the case of more intricate branches, more energetic and repeated movements can be performed to achieve better results.
• Speed adjustment: Some models offer the possibility of adjusting the speed of the prongs, ranging from 900 to 2000 beats per minute. This function allows the harvest to be adapted according to the variety of olives and their resistance to detachment.

Battery-powered electric oliveharvesters with horizontal movement offer numerous advantages over other olive harvest systems, making them a preferred choice for both professional and hobbyist use. Their efficiency, practicality and ability to adapt to different types of olives and trees make them extremely versatile and convenient tools.

Here are the main advantages of these harvesters:

• High harvesting efficiency: The horizontal movement of the prongs allows a large harvesting area to be covered, reducing the time needed to shake the olives from the branches. This movement is particularly effective for ripe olives, allowing for quick and uniform detachment.
• Versatility of use: Thanks to their ability to adapt to different varieties of olives and the slim shape of the head, these olive harvesters are ideal for both dense, intricate plants and more linear, pruned trees. The ability to adjust the speed on many models allows for further customisation of the tool.
• Reduced fatigue: Being battery-powered, they eliminate the need to use manual force for harvesting. This significantly reduces operator fatigue, even during long work sessions. The balanced weight, especially in models with the motor located at the base of the pole, further facilitates the work.
• Reduced impact on the plant: Prongs in ABS or softer materials are less invasive to the plant, reducing the risk of damaging branches and leaves during harvesting. This is essential to ensure the health and productivity of the plant in subsequent years.
• Low maintenance: Models equipped with induction (brushless) motors require less maintenance than brush models, offering greater durability and reliability over time. This translates into lower operating costs and repair work.
