Automatic tree shaker Gacek

Ideal for Tree Sour Cherry, & Plum Harvesting

The GACEK Automatic Tree Shaker - most economical design for stone fruit harvesting.

Specifically designed for harvesting sour cherries, almonds, plums, and other stone fruits growing in rows, the GACEK automatic tree shaker stands out as advanced harvesting machine. With its automatic tarpaulin designed to catch the fruit, seamlessly operable through automated opening and folding mechanisms.

  • The GACEK pull-type harvester, featuring an exclusive shaking head design, grips the trunk, gently shakes it to loosen the fruit onto a reversed umbrella (trapline), and efficiently transports them via a conveyor belt. A built-in fan removes leaves and all impurities, ensuring the clean collection of fruit into either a large 500 kg box or smaller boxes.
