Design, Fabrication and Testing of New Invented Spring Sickle Pole "ZappIt®" for Palm Harvesting

A new harvesting pole, specifically designed for palms trees, was designed, developed and tested. It comprises three sections, the locking, extension and spring sickle, which were joined through an aluminum pole. The pole can be adjusted to certain length to reach different height of tree. It is b...
