Fruit picker Flo 89880, loose head diameter 16 cm, 1 pc

Flo 89880 fruit picker with a loose head diameter of 16 cm is a manual harvesting tool designed to collect fruit from tree canopies without the need for ladders. The picker includes a detachable picking head and a cotton canvas bag mounted on a lightweight steel sheet frame, allowing users to gently detach fruit and retain it in the bag for easy removal. Supplied as a single unit, it is intended for home gardens, allotments and small orchards where safe, controlled harvesting is required.

Advantages

The detachable head and soft-sided cotton bag minimise bruising and damage to fruit during picking, while the lightweight steel frame provides stable support without excessive weight. The 16 cm diameter head is sized to accommodate a wide range of medium to small fruit. Its simple manual design requires no power source and is easy to maintain and clean after use.

Suitable for

• Harvesting apples, pears and similar medium-sized tree fruit from the canopy
• Collecting fruit in domestic gardens and allotments where ladder use is impractical
• Small-scale orchard maintenance and seasonal picking tasks

Key specifications

• Picking head diameter: 16 cm
• Head type: detachable/loose picking head for gentle fruit removal
• Frame material: lightweight steel sheet
• Bag material: cotton canvas
• Unit quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Position the picker beneath the target fruit, use the detachable head to encircle or cradle the fruit, then apply a gentle twisting or pulling motion to detach the fruit from the stem so it falls into the cotton bag. When the bag is full or you wish to remove the picked fruit, unfasten or detach the head if required and empty the contents into a basket or crate. Inspect the head and bag for debris after use and clean with a damp cloth; allow the cotton bag to dry thoroughly before storage to prevent mildew.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the picker on calm days to reduce wind movement, harvest when fruit is ripe to avoid excessive force, and avoid overfilling the bag to prevent fruit bruising. Store the tool in a dry place and check the bag and frame periodically for wear.
