General Information
The G-004 Pro Automatic Tree Shaking Machine is engineered for efficient harvesting of almonds, sour cherries, plums, hazelnuts with single trunks, pistachios, olives, and other stone fruits. It features an automatic tarpaulin folding and unfolding catching frame system under the tree, requiring fewer personnel—typically just the tractor driver and the shaker operator—making it ideal for maximizing productivity in orchards.

Key Benefits of the G-004 Pro Automatic Tree Shaker – Advanced Fruit Harvesting

• Labor saving: Automated tarpaulin folding/unfolding reduces the need for two extra workers—only the tractor driver and one operator are typically required. For small bins, an additional person may be needed on the rear platform, but for pallet boxes, no extra worker is needed.
• Tree Protection: The exclusive gentle tree shaking system protects roots and bark while preventing tree damage. The patented design, proven for over 15 years, reduces stress and ensures efficient harvesting.
• Fast Operation & collection rate: Harvests 50–60 trees/hour with up to 99% efficiency.

Key Characteristics for Automatic Tree Shaking Machine G-004 Pro

• Versatile Shaking Heads: The trunk shaker is available in two models: P20 for trunk diameters up to 20 cm (≈8 in) and P30 for trunks up to 30 cm (≈12 in). For larger trees, a telescopic shaker with hydraulic support can reach primary branches. Ideal for almonds, olives, and other orchard crops.
• Clean fruit: Built-in fan (up to 1200 rpm) removes leaves, twigs, and impurities before fruit is transferred.
• High-quality fruit: Two conveyors with different speeds ensure all fruit is collected and cleaned.
• High maneuverability: Hydraulic steering axle, controlled from the tractor, with a 32° wheel turning angle for easy maneuvering in tight spaces (as small as 7–8 m).
• Easy to use and adaptable: Full hydraulic control of the telescopic shaker head and tarpaulin allows quick adjustments for different plantation layouts, ensuring gentle, precise, and efficient fruit collection.

How it works
The G-004 Pro mounts on tractors with a minimum of 40 HP and connects via a two-point hitch CAT 2. It uses a PTO-driven hydraulic system at approximately 300 rpm to power advanced hydraulic components. The exclusive shaking head gently grips and shakes tree trunks, loosening fruits without causing damage. Fruits fall onto a hydraulically automated catching frame, move through a dual-speed conveyor system, and a fan removes leaves and debris for cleaner collection. The harvested fruit is delivered into double-layer trays for small boxes or 500 kg pallet boxes. Optional hydraulic leveling wheels ensure efficient operation on slopes up to 12°, with additional options such as working lights and accessories.

Preparing orchard for mechanical harvest

Optional Fruit Collection Systems

• SG-002 Hydraulic Pallet Lifter: Supports 500 kg pallet boxes with a foldable rear platform.
• WZ-001 Roller Platform: For 500 kg pallet boxes (1200×1000 mm) enabling easy fruit unloading.
• WZ-006 Specialized Conveyor: For direct fruit transfer into trailer pallet boxes (2–3 box capacity).
• HM2 Bin Trailer: For 2 pallet boxes with hydraulic unloading (requires conveyor belt WZ-006).
• HM3 Bin Trailer: For 3 pallet boxes with hydraulic unloading (requires conveyor belt WZ-006).
• Hydraulic Almond Peeler Machine (soon): For hulling, peeling, and cleaning almonds, powered by the harvester’s hydraulic system.
