UQM Fruit Picker Pole 12.8 ft Telescoping with Cushioned Metal-Claw Basket & 150in Harvest Bag

The UQM 12.8FT Fruit Picker Pole is a lightweight, telescoping harvesting tool with a cushioned metal-claw basket and a 150-inch harvest bag that lets you pick high fruit without a ladder.

If you need a safe, efficient way to harvest apples, oranges, figs, mangoes and other tree fruits, this adjustable pole combines reach, secure fruit handling and easy collection. Constructed from stainless-steel sections with swivel connectors, the pole extends up to 154 inches yet collapses compactly for storage. The metal claw basket has soft sponge padding and silicone grips to protect fruit, while the long harvest bag channels fruit down into one place so you can collect several pieces before emptying.

How high can I reach with this fruit picker and is it stable?

The pole telescopes from 40 inches to 154 inches, giving you clearance for most backyard and small orchard trees without climbing. Swivel-connected stainless-steel segments keep the pole rigid during use, and double clamps secure the basket to prevent wobble.

• Adjustable range: 40"–154" (3.3–12.8 ft) for versatile reach
• Swivel connections maintain alignment while extending
• Double-clamp basket mount reduces slippage and movement

Will my fruit be damaged when using the metal claw basket?

The basket is fitted with a soft sponge lining at its base to cushion fruit impacts, and silicone sheets prevent the basket from shifting or scraping. The metal-claw design gently secures the fruit while you pull it off the branch, then lets it slide into the attached harvest bag.

• Cushioned base absorbs shocks to minimize bruising
• Silicone anti-slip layers keep fruit secure during retrieval
• Metal claw holds different fruit sizes without crushing

How does the 150-inch harvest bag improve picking efficiency?

The included 150-inch (approximately 12.5 ft) harvest bag channels fruit from the basket down into a reachable collection area, so you can retrieve multiple pieces before emptying. This setup reduces repetitive climbs or retraction of the pole, making batch collection faster and less tiring.

• Long harvest bag lets several fruits slide down into one spot
• Batches can be poured into crates or buckets at once
• Detachable bag simplifies cleaning and storage

Is the picker easy to assemble and transport?

Yes—the tool is designed for tool-free assembly: thread the pole sections together, tighten the basket clamps, and attach the harvest bag. The lightweight stainless-steel construction and detachable parts make it simple to collapse, carry and store in a shed or car trunk.

• Tool-free assembly: connect poles, secure basket, clip on bag
• Lightweight stainless-steel construction for easier handling
• Detachable design folds small for transport and storage
