# Orchard picking and cleaning equipment recommendation I am glad to hear that your apple harvest this year is good! In view of the shortage of picking manpower and the need for subsequent cleaning, the following are some equipment recommendations that may be helpful to you： ## Quick picking equipment -**Fruit tree picker**: A picking tool with a long pole, which can be extended to a high place, reducing the need to use ladders -**Picking basket/waist bag**: Free your hands and improve the efficiency of single picking -**Small orchard picking platform**: Suitable for small and medium-sized orchards, more stable and safe than traditional ladders -**Vibrating picking equipment**: Suitable for fruits that mature at the same time, which can quickly make the fruits fall ## Branch handling equipment -**Branch shredder**: The pruned branches can be crushed to reduce the amount of incineration, and the sawdust produced can also be used as fertilizer -**Pruning shears/electric pruning saws**: Efficient handling of branches that need to be removed -**Branch collection cart**: Easy to collect and transport scattered branches Please note: Before carrying out incineration activities, it is recommended that you first understand the local regulations on agricultural waste incineration, and consider using a branch shredder to crush the branches as compost or mulch, which is more environmentally friendly and can improve soil quality. Hope these suggestions are helpful to you!
