ARS Telescopic Long Reach Mango Picker - 1.8m to 3.0m - Professional "Cut & Hold" Pruner for Fruit Harvesting

Harvesting high-value fruit at the top of the canopy often requires unstable ladders or cumbersome equipment, risking both operator safety and crop damage. The ARS Telescopic Long Reach Pruner is the premium Japanese solution, combining an extendable 3.0-metre reach with a specialized "Cut & Hold" mechanism. Engineered for mango and avocado growers, this lightweight tool ensures you can retrieve fruit from height and lower it safely into a basket or crate with one hand, eliminating dropped fruit and unmarketable bruising.

Best For The commercial orchardist, mango grower, or serious gardener seeking a lightweight, telescopic "Cut & Hold" tool for the safe, ground-based harvesting of high-altitude fruit.

Key Features

• Telescopic Reach Versatility: The high-strength aluminum pole adjusts smoothly from 1.8m to 3.0m, providing the flexible reach needed to manage everything from mid-sized shrubs to high-altitude fruit clusters without using ladders.

• Integrated "Cut & Hold" Mechanism: Specialized jaws are designed to firmly grip the severed stem, allowing you to retrieve delicate fruit like mangoes and avocados from height and place them safely in a crate with one motion.

• 180-Degree Rotating Shaft: The main shaft rotates within the handle to let you set the perfect cutting angle for every branch or fruit stem, maximizing visibility and precision in dense canopies.

• Marquench Hardened Japanese Steel: Forged from premium high-carbon tool steel, the blades deliver exceptional edge retention and surgical precision, promoting faster plant healing and reducing the physical effort required per cut.

• Hard Chrome Plated Finish: The blade surface is hard chrome plated to provide superior resistance against rust and sticky sap buildup, ensuring a smooth, low-friction action and making the tool effortless to clean after a long harvest day.

• Lightweight Die-Cast Construction: Constructed with a high-strength aluminum frame and ergonomic handle, the tool weighs just 1.2kg, significantly reducing shoulder and arm fatigue during prolonged overhead work.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
