Harvest and handling without lifting loads

Stop carrying crates

At harvest time, the most tiring part is not always the picking itself, but walking full crates back and forth to the end of the bed. The machine carries them for you and moves along with you.

The solutions

  • Romanesco Straddler: 2 electric tool lifts of 250 kg each, forks, crate platform, pallets and bulk bins.
  • Broco'lit: crate platform for up to 15 crates, 200 kg payload plus the driver, and travels at 15 km/h back to the shed.

Both machines can also carry tools, irrigation pipes or transplants.

What growers say

“It is more practical than a tractor for harvesting and handling.”
