Fruit Harvester Head BRADAS V-Series Rubber (no handle) model KT-V1532H

BRADAS V-Series Rubber Fruit Harvester Head (model KT-V1532H) is an interchangeable picking head intended for manual fruit collection using a compatible pole or shaft. The rubber construction cushions fruit and reduces surface damage during harvest while providing sufficient grip for apples, pears and similar produce. The head is supplied without a handle, allowing users to attach it to a pole length and type that suits their orchard layout and working height.

Advantages

The rubber material minimizes bruising and skin damage on delicate fruit by absorbing impact and distributing pressure evenly. Its shape and flexible surface improve fruit retention during lifting, reducing accidental drops. Being a replaceable head, it offers quick interchangeability with other compatible attachments and simplifies storage and transport when not in use. The absence of an integrated handle reduces weight and allows selection of poles with optimal length and stiffness for specific tasks.

Suitable for

• Harvesting apples and pears in small to medium orchards
• Picking soft-skinned fruit where surface protection is important
• Use with extension poles for high or hard-to-reach branches
• Seasonal harvest teams and individual home gardeners

Key specifications

• Material: durable, flexible rubber designed for gentle fruit contact
• Type: interchangeable harvester head (no handle included)
• Compatibility: designed to attach to standard poles or tool shafts (confirm fit before use)
• Weight: lightweight construction for reduced operator fatigue
• Intended produce: apples, pears and similarly sized fruit

How to use

Attach the harvester head securely to a compatible pole or shaft following the pole manufacturer's instructions and ensure the connection is locked before use. Position the rubber head beneath the fruit, gently lift and twist or pull as appropriate for the variety to detach the fruit from the stem while the rubber surface cushions contact. Move fruit into a collection bag or bin carefully to avoid stacking heavy loads directly onto delicate produce. After use, rinse the rubber head with clean water to remove sap and debris and allow to dry before storage.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the attachment point before each use to ensure safe connection to the pole. For optimal fruit protection, avoid using excessive force when detaching fruit and transfer harvested fruit into shallow trays to prevent bruising. Store the rubber head away from direct sunlight and extreme heat to preserve material elasticity and lifespan.
