Vehicle for fruit picking - has movable platforms with receptacles for picked fruit and above collecting hopper when retracted

摘要

The fruit-picking vehicle has picking platforms movable outwards from each side of the chassis. Each platform has a receptacle for the picked fruit, with covers at the front for sealing it off, and when the platforms are in the retracted position and close together they are above a collecting hopper for the sacked-up fruit. The sacks can be of flexible material, beign sealed off by a linkage acting against the outside.
