FELCO 331 - Premium Avocado and Mango Clipper - Drop-Forged Carbon Steel - Precision Harvesting Snips

FELCO 331 - Avocado & Mango Clipper - 138 mm Frame - Drop-Forged Carbon Steel Harvesting Snips

High-value tropical fruit demands harvesting tools that protect skin integrity and leave a consistent stem profile for post-harvest quality. The FELCO 331 is a professional bypass clipper engineered for avocados, mangoes, and similar crops, with geometry that minimises puncture risk and automatically delivers a clean 3 mm stalk length.

Drop-forged high-carbon steel blades glide through stems without bruising delicate fruit surfaces. Bright red polypropylene-coated handles maintain wet-weather grip and high visibility in dense orchard rows, while the integrated leather wrist strap reduces drop risk and grip fatigue across long commercial picking shifts at just 113 g net weight.

Best For: Commercial avocado orchardists, mango contractors, and tropical fruit growers who need reliable, non-slip bypass clippers for fast picking with strict quality control standards.

Key Features:

• Consistent 3 mm Stalk Control: Raised counter-blade section leaves a uniform 3 mm stalk, reducing flush-cut infections and transit puncture risk.
• Skin-Protection Blade Geometry: Bypass bevelled blades cut stems cleanly without bruising or piercing delicate fruit skin.
• Drop-Forged High-Carbon Steel: Exceptional edge retention and structural strength for relentless commercial orchard use.
• Non-Slip Polypropylene Handles: Bright red PP coating delivers wet-weather grip, high visibility, and long-lasting comfort.
• Integrated Leather Hand Strap: Premium wrist strap secures the tool, reduces fatigue, and frees fingers for fruit handling.
• Ultra-Lightweight Profile: 113 g across a 138 mm frame maximises picking efficiency and reduces repetitive strain.

Product Technical Specifications Matrix:

Primary Cultivation Applications

• Avocado Harvesting: Clean stem cuts with the ideal button stalk length to reduce stem-end rot during ripening.
• Mango & Tropical Crops: Efficient clipping of mangoes, sapotes, and papayas without scraping exterior skin.
• High-Volume Orchard Picking: Uniform stem length for premium grading in dense citrus and tropical orchards.

Pro Tip & Maintenance: Sanitise blades between blocks or varieties to reduce disease transfer. Avoid cutting flush to the fruit shoulder; the counter-blade is designed to leave the correct stalk automatically. Rinse sap residue and dry thoroughly before end-of-shift storage.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Since oversized items require special handling, we may need to provide a custom freight quote for your order and will contact you with an updated shipping rate.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup - default method
✔ Direct delivery - requires forklift on site
✔ Direct delivery with tailgate lift truck (extra fees apply)
✔ 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
• Because of the forklift requirement, delivery to the nearest depot is the default option and will be the method used unless you contact us to request otherwise.

Business Delivery:

• Business delivery is available for commercial customers only
• If you select business delivery and your products are bulky, it is your responsibility to ensure you have appropriate equipment (including forklifts) to unload products from the delivery truck
• If you select business delivery and you are not a business, you risk your product not being delivered and may incur additional fees to retrieve your order
• Business delivery customers must provide a valid business address and contact information
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

Let us know your preference, and we'll arrange the best solution for you!

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
