Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the high-altitude fruit picker catcher work?
A: Simply attach the fruit picker catcher head to a compatible telescoping extension pole, position the basket opening around the fruit on the branch, and give a gentle twist of the wrist. The comb-like teeth grip and detach the fruit, which then falls softly into the basket — keeping it intact and bruise-free.
Q: What types of fruit can I pick with this tool?
A: The fruit picker catcher is ideal for apples, pears, oranges, lemons, limes, plums, peaches, and similarly sized round or oval fruits. Its 2.3 cm inner diameter opening accommodates a wide variety of common orchard fruits.
Q: What pole does the fruit picker catcher fit?
A: The catcher head is designed to be compatible with standard telescoping or extension garden poles (not included). We recommend checking your pole's tip diameter against the catcher's 2.3 cm inner diameter to ensure a secure fit before use.
Q: Is this fruit picking tool suitable for commercial farming use?
A: This tool is best suited for home gardeners, hobby orchardists, and small-scale farm use. For large commercial harvesting operations requiring high-volume output, a more heavy-duty or motorised solution may be more appropriate.
