🟩 B14S — 14L HARD SHELL PICKING BUCKET

Lightweight • Low-Bruising • Ergonomic Support+ Harness Included

The Harvestwear B14S is our compact, lightweight hard-shell bucket designed for situations where fruit needs extra protection and pickers need full mobility. Originally developed for stonefruit — where bruising risk is high — the 14L bucket has become a favourite with apple growers who want a smaller, easier-to-carry option for long days in the orchard.

Built with the same durability and comfort as our larger models, the B14S combines a tough plastic shell with our premium Support+ ergonomic harness, helping reduce strain and maintain picker performance throughout the day.

🟩 KEY FEATURES

The 14L size reduces fruit movement inside the bucket, particularly for stonefruit and premium apple varieties.
