WHY WE ENTERED THE MARKET
As with most creations from A&B, the
Fulcrum fresh harvester was designed
out of necessity due to rising labor
costs, and the pure lack of laborers
period. A&B has heard the cry of our
industry, customers, and our growers.
We have dedicated years of research
and development to decipher a solution
to yet another problem. This is a
historical turning point in time - a
Fulcrum moment - that will change
the industry. Seize that moment and
don't miss out on the chance to
ad
advance your future with the Fulcrum
Fresh Harvester from A&B!
The Future of Fresh Harvesting is Now!
VERTICAL PICKING POSITION
The Fulcrum is the most versatile Fresh Fruit Harvester available. It can transition from
a horizontal picking position to a traditional vertical picking position. The 63 " wide
tunnel entry allows for longer picking fingers, which also enables the rotary heads
to be further apart and pick larger bushes more effectively. Ordinary harvesters
use hard plastic or metal to catch the berries, which can bruise the fruit. The
Fulcrum, on the other hand, uses a sloped " No-Bruise " padded inner and outer
harvesting bed. These features dramatically improve the look and increase the shelf
ha
life of your fruit.
HORIZONTAL PICKING POSITION
The Fulcrum Fresh Harvester is engineered from the ground up to be the most
gentle harvester available today. Maximize your yield and minimize your time
doing it. The A&B Fresh Harvester's gentleness increases shelf life and maximizes
cash flow from your fields. The tunnel throat opening is a spacious 63 " wide -
that's right, over 5 feet - which helps minimize fruit loss before entering the tunnel.
As the Fulcrum starts a row, it begins to gently part the bush in two. These two parts
are then delica
licately maneuvered through the limb guide system and into the harvesting zone, engaging
them for an extended period of time. This enables the horizontal rotary heads to carefully remove ripe
fruit in a more consistent manner than any other harvester on the market. The guide rails also lower
the bush closer to the sloped " No-Bruise " padded harvesting beds. In the picking zone, the berries
have a minimal drop of only inches versus feet as on conventional harvesters. As the bush exits the
rotary heads, the limb guides gently return the bush to its original upright position.
