Olive harvesters and shakers with bottom-mounted motor

Olive harvesters and shakers with the motor mounted at the bottom, namely at the end of the pole, are one of the most effective and modern solutions for olive harvesting, both for domestic and professional use. These are tools designed to make the olive detachment phase easier and faster, significantly reducing effort compared to traditional manual methods. Their operation is based on a tine system which, through a rapid and controlled movement, shakes the olive tree branches, helping the fruit fall without causing significant damage to the plant.

The distinctive feature of this category of olive harvesters is the presence of the motor at the bottom of the pole. This feature provides an optimal weight balance during use, making the tool easier to handle and less tiring even during prolonged work sessions. The bottom-mounted motor helps move the centre of gravity closer to the operator's hands, improving control and movement precision. This solution is advantageous both for less experienced users and for those working intensively who need reliable, high-performance tools.

Olive harvesters and shakers with the motor at the end of the pole are used by a very wide range of users: from the hobby user with just a few trees to the industrial operator working on large olive groves. The range includes battery-powered or petrol models, with different power levels, specific tine movements and advanced materials for poles, heads and tines. This wide choice makes it possible to find the model best suited to specific operating needs, whether for occasional use or intensive harvesting. The main feature of this type, namely the motor at the bottom of the pole, provides superior manoeuvrability that makes a difference at every stage of harvesting.

On AgriEuro, olive harvesters and shakers with bottom-mounted motor can be selected and compared according to their technical features, in order to identify the most suitable solution for different operating needs. On the left side of the page there is a series of filters that allows the selection to be narrowed down for each relevant technical parameter. This function helps optimise the choice according to factors such as power supply, type of movement, construction materials and many other specifications. The main technical features available as filters are described below.

• Power supply: battery-powered models are available, offering portability and the option to choose between car battery, backpack battery or integrated battery, as well as petrol models that ensure constant power and extended working times. Rated power ranges from 100 to over 800W for battery-powered versions, and from 1 to 2.8 HP for petrol versions.
• Movement: the tine movement can be vertical, ideal for all types of olives; horizontal side movement, preferred for olives with good ripening; oscillating, suitable for olives at an advanced stage of ripening; rotary, suitable for all olives with a preference for well-ripened fruit; double rotary, which combines branch shaking with direct action on the fruit.
• Voltage: the most suitable voltage can be selected, with options ranging from 12/16 Volts for lighter machines, to 24/36 Volts for intermediate models, up to 56/58 Volts for high-performance tools.
• Pole material: carbon poles stand out for their lightness, making them less tiring during use, while aluminium poles are more affordable and resistant, but slightly heavier.
• Pole type: users can choose between a fixed pole, which is lighter and simpler, or a telescopic pole that allows greater heights to be reached, with lengths ranging from 180 to 330 cm.
• Head material: the head can be made of plastic for lightness and durability; aluminium for a balance between lightness and strength; magnesium for corrosion resistance and reduced weight; or carbon for those seeking the most innovative technologies and high-level performance.
• Tine materials: ABS tines are highly resistant and gentle on the plant; carbon tines are longer but less resistant, and may be more aggressive on branches.
• Motor type: both brushed motors, which are more affordable, and induction motors (brushless), which are quiet, low-maintenance and longer-lasting, are available.
• Number of speeds: users can choose between machines with one speed, two adjustable speeds, or between 3 and 10 selectable speeds depending on operating needs.
• Speed (beats per minute): selection can also be based on the number of beats, from 1000 to over 2000 bpm, to adapt to the type of harvesting and olive variety.

The olive harvester and shaker with the motor at the end of the pole is used to make olive harvesting directly from the tree easier, reducing working times and limiting stress on the plant. This tool is mainly used during harvesting periods, when it is necessary to speed up the detachment of olives from the branches while minimising leaf fall and branch damage. The shaking system, operated by tines powered by the motor, also allows the highest areas of the canopy to be reached without using ladders.

The use of this type of olive harvester is suitable thanks to the following features: the motor at the bottom of the pole provides a more favourable weight distribution, reducing operator fatigue; the possibility of selecting different working speeds makes the tool flexible for different varieties and ripening stages; the presence of telescopic poles makes it possible to work on trees of different sizes without moving frequently.

Practical examples of use include:

• Harvesting table olives: selecting a gentle speed and ABS tines reduces damage to fruit and branches, preserving harvest quality.
• Harvesting in large olive groves: a petrol model with telescopic pole allows long working sessions and high branches to be reached with less effort.
• Harvesting on dense trees: using carbon tines and a brushless motor ensures lightness and speed, improving agility among the branches.
• Use on olive varieties with different ripening stages: the possibility of selecting the type of tine movement allows the machine to be adapted to the specific variety and ripening level.
• Work on sloping ground: the greater manoeuvrability provided by the bottom-mounted motor makes it easier to control the tool even on unstable terrain.

Olive harvesters with bottom-mounted motor are suitable both for hobby use, thanks to their ease of use and lightweight solutions, and for semi-professional and professional levels, where medium and high performance is combined with sturdy construction. Industrial level versions ensure continuous harvesting while maintaining very high standards of reliability and durability.

Choosing to buy an olive harvester or shaker with bottom-mounted motor offers several advantages, both from a technical and practical point of view. These products are designed to simplify harvesting operations and provide reliable solutions for users of every level, thanks to advanced construction features and latest-generation technologies.

The main strengths are:

• Optimal weight balance: the motor positioned at the bottom of the pole shifts the centre of gravity towards the operator's hands, offering greater control and reduced fatigue, especially during long work sessions.
• Wide choice of power supplies: the availability of battery-powered models, both car battery and lithium, as well as petrol models, makes it possible to choose the solution best suited to specific operating needs and different usage contexts.
• Variety of movements and speeds: the presence of several types of tine movement and the possibility of selecting different speeds make it possible to adapt the tool to different olive varieties, ripening stages and harvesting methods.
• Advanced and sturdy materials: the use of materials such as carbon, aluminium, magnesium and ABS for poles, heads and tines ensures durability, lightness and resistance, reducing wear and the need for frequent replacements.
• Easy maintenance: the choice between brushed or brushless motors and the possibility of easily replacing tines and other components make these tools easy to maintain and ready for use in every season.
