HERCULES is the olive harvester that Campagnola has designed for heavy-duty use on large-sized tree or with thick foliage.

This olive shaker ranks at the top of the range of electric or 2-stroke olive harvesters for its great collection capacity in hillside or lowland cultivations.

Designed to fit any work situation, it ensures the best results in absolute respect of the integrity of the plant and the fruit.

This olive harvester comes with many advantages:

• Double usage options thanks to the two types of rakes provided: in techno polymer (very flexible prongs to avoid damage to the plant) and in carbon (with sturdy prongs for a stronger action)
• Double usage speed
• Motor located at the end of the pole for better balance
• Powerful 12 V 350 W brushless induction motor
• Tear proof handle for the cable
• Low absorption and great lightness

The head is completely made of techno polymer with carbon fibre, to ensure absolute lightness.

The Campagnola HERCULES is the best battery-powered olive harvester on the market, with the highest hourly collection capacity.

In this configuration, the harvester is combined with a 150/220 cm carbon telescopic pole.

The brand-new power 58 V motor has been designed by Campagnola to be compatible with other power tools of the 58 line, such as the Alice and Holly olive harvesters.

The new motor features a fresh and innovative design and is complemented by new functionalities, among which there are soft-touch keys and interlocking attachments instead of screws.

The head of this olive harvester consist of the transmission unit and the prongs support.

The engine is placed at the end of the pole for better weight balance.

The harvester is supplied with 2 sets of prongs:

• A set of 9x 30 cm super-flexible techno polymer prongs (in blue colour) allows gentle shaking and harvesting without damaging the plant.
• A set of 9x 20 cm carbon prongs (in balck) allows a more powerful and energetic harvesting action to be able to detach olives even on thicker foliage.

The possibility of making use of 2 different types of prongs ensures a higher performance and versatility compared to other Campagnola harvester models in terms of collection capacity and penetration into the plant foliage.

The transmission on the head unit, where the prongs are mounted, causes it to perform short elliptical side oscillations (left and right from the initial position), which are very fast.

The advantages of this technique are: a reduced number of vibrations produced and olive detachment perpendicular to the ground.

Very flexible prongs

The motor located at the end of the pole gives this olive harvester exceptional balancing, which translates into less fatigue during use.
However, 99% of harvesters on the market today still feature the motor mounted on the head: which is an easier and more affordable solution but makes the harvester extremely unbalanced, heavy and very tiring to use.

It is important to remember that in most cases the harvester is operated at the bottom of a pole, and if the weight is all concentrated at the top, it becomes really heavy to handle and certainly impossible to use for a whole day.

That is why when choosing a harvester, one should not only consider the total weight, as this alone is not an indication of comfort of use.

The comfort of use stems not from the total weight but from balancing weights, achieved by mounting the motor at the bottom of the pole.

Very powerful 350 watt 2-speed brushless induction motor

* other motors fitted on olive harvesters on the market deliver about 100 to 300 Watt

It generates, despite the considerable size of rakes, 1080 beats per minute with the first speed and up to 1140 strokes per minute in the fastest mode.

Support base with cable grommet. It offers total protection to the extension cable and to the motor connection socket both during the working phase, when the cable is pulled constantly, and when not in use, with the equipment stored and placed vertically to the ground.

New telescopic pole (longer than previous models) extremely lightweight and completely built in aluminium, equipped with quick coupling.

Length of the telescopic pole: 150/220 cm

* with the head mounted, the Hercules olive harvester reaches a length of approx. 2.5 m with the pole at maximum extension.

The configuration with such a long pole is always the ideal one for tools such as the harvester because it mounts the motor at the bottom and proves much more practical in use.

Perfect for shorter olive trees, we recommend gripping the pole at the middle to maintain a weight balance of 50%-50% (just like shown in the upper diagram), and make the tool even more comfortable to use.
