Abstract

Fruit pole picker has been widely used in most country in order to pluck the fruit. Current pole picker comes in different method and mechanism of handling and operation which is some is too complex to be handled by single user. Thus, the main purpose of this project is to design a local fruit picker that is reliable and easily used by most homeowners or in small farm. This project primarily focus on development of fruit pole picker with consideration of several factors such as ergonomics, weight, safety, operation, output power, cost and etc. The fruit pole picker in this project is focusing on plucking the local fruit from Meliaceae family of Lansium spp. fruit such as dokong, langsat and duku which is become an important new economic crop in Malaysia and there is no specific tools has been designed to pluck this fruit. Designing and modelling a fruit pole picker are important for the development of pole picker itself. From the existing pole picker in the market, there are so many problems that can be improved. Redesign of existing fruit pole picker is a good solution to ensure the pole picker has a perfect design and better specification. After redesign the pole picker, the analysis is essential to ensure the pole picker is safe and good enough to fabricate.
