GK machine of Donald Oregon has developed a remote controlled harvest aid. This machine allows harvesters to focus on the task that earns them the most money, harvesting.
Capable of carrying 200+ full and empty crates and operating by remote control, harvesters can adjust machine speed to their specifications. The machine also makes offloading simple with push button conveyance for offloading.
Known as the Mercado Machine, it has also allowed harvesters to earn more money daily while reducing business costs. The Mercado machine is unique in design as the only strawberry harvest machine not requiring a driver.
Facilitating 5 – 9 harvesters (depending on row width) it is also one of the lowest cost machines in the marketplace. Use of the new tool has reduced the most common harvester injury of trip and fall because they can work at a more comfortable pace while harvesting more crates per day. With already over 300 machines in market, this new tool could be the labor saving tool the industry is seeking.
