🟩 YIELDMAX 28L APPLE PICKING BUCKET (YM2810S)

Premium Hard Shell • Ergonomic Fit • Low-Bruising Design • NZ-Made

The YieldMax is Harvestwear’s premium hard-shell apple picking bucket, engineered for comfort, durability and maximum fruit protection. Designed with a unique kidney-shaped shell and a wider, more stable base, the YieldMax fits naturally to the picker’s body — reducing pressure points, improving balance, and making the emptying process smoother and more efficient.

Ideal for commercial apple and pear orchards, the YieldMax combines advanced ergonomics with the proven strength and longevity Harvestwear is known for.

🟩 KEY FEATURES

✔ Kidney-shaped ergonomic shell

Contours naturally to the body, improving comfort and balance through long picking days. The shape also supports smoother, more controlled fruit release.

✔ Strong, low-bruising hard shell

Made from high-density polyethylene with a polyurethane foam casing to protect fruit from bruising — especially important for premium export varieties.

✔ Replaceable, heavy-duty liner

A tough polyester liner designed for commercial use. Fully replaceable to maximise lifespan and reduce long-term cost.

✔ Easy rope-and-hook release system

Simple, reliable mechanism for fast, smooth emptying. Ideal for both new pickers and experienced crew.

✔ Includes the Support+ ergonomic harness

Our breakthrough Support+ Harness spreads weight across the maximum shoulder area for reduced fatigue, better posture and improved picker productivity.

✔ Compatible with traditional crossover harnesses

Flexible for orchards running mixed gear or transitioning from older harness systems.

✔ Nestable shell design

The shaped bucket nests, reducing storage space and lowering transportation volume and freight cost.

✔ Built to last 5–10 seasons

Durable materials and replaceable components make the YieldMax a premium long-term investment.
