Colingmill 22.5ft Telescoping Fruit Picker Pole with Cushioned Metal Basket — Stainless Steel, Ladder-Free Harvester

The Colingmill 22.5ft Fruit Picker is a modular, stainless-steel pole and rotating metal basket system that lets you harvest high fruit safely and gently without climbing a ladder.

If you manage backyard trees, a small orchard, or seasonal citrus, this extendable picker combines a large cushioned basket and screw-together poles so you can reach tall branches while protecting fruit from bruises. The kit includes a 9 x 6 x 5.5-inch metal basket with a foam cushion, eighteen 15.7-inch stainless-steel pole sections that assemble to as much as 22.5 feet, plus gloves and storage bags so you can get started right away.

How far will the Colingmill picker reach?

The pole is built from 18 identical 15.7-inch stainless-steel sections that screw together, letting you tailor the working length to the tree. In short, you can set the tool to a short reach for lower branches or extend it to its full 22.5-foot length for tall limbs—no ladder required.

• Each pole section: 15.7 inches; total assembled reach up to about 22.5 feet
• Add or remove sections to match tree height and storage needs
• Screw-together joints lock quickly without special tools

Will it protect delicate fruit during harvest?

Yes — the metal rotating basket has a flexible foam pad on the bottom designed to absorb impact so fruit does not get cut or bruised when it drops into the catcher. The basket also keeps multiple fruits secure for transport down to ground level.

• 9 x 6 x 5.5-inch metal basket holds several fruits at once
• Soft foam cushion reduces impact and skin damage
• Rotating action helps align fruit into the basket rather than tugging on stems

Is the picker durable and easy to use?

The pole sections are made from 1-inch diameter stainless steel, which keeps the shaft rigid under load and resists bending or corrosion. Dual metal rings reinforce the connection between the pole and basket, while lightweight construction makes it manageable for extended picking sessions.

• Stainless-steel construction for strength and weather resistance
• Reinforced metal rings prevent deformation at the basket joint
• Assembles in about five minutes by hand—no extra tools required
