🟩 YIELDLUX TL3610E — PREMIUM KIWIFRUIT PICKING BUCKET

Lightweight • Low-Bruising • Ergonomic • NZ-Made

The YieldLux TL3610E is Harvestwear’s latest innovation in kiwifruit picking — a premium lightweight bucket designed for comfort, durability and advanced fruit protection. Engineered specifically for the demands of kiwifruit orchards, the TL3610E combines a fully foam-lined shell, ergonomic shaping and replaceable components to deliver outstanding performance season after season.

This is the flagship of the YieldLux range, offering the best balance of capacity, comfort and fruit care for commercial kiwifruit operations.

(A smaller option — TL2810E — is available for teams that prefer a reduced capacity, but the TL3610E remains the preferred model for most growers.)

🟩 KEY FEATURES

✔ Lightweight, high-strength construction

Built for all-day picking comfort without compromising durability.

✔ Polyethylene shell with 600D liner, Cordura® type reinforcements

Exceptional abrasion resistance and long life — ideal for demanding orchard conditions.

✔ Fully foam-lined shell and base

Provides superior protection against bruising and compression damage, especially for soft-skinned kiwifruit.

✔ Nestable shape for efficient storage

Buckets stack neatly, saving space in sheds, vehicles and seasonal storage.

✔ Flared bucket shape for smooth fruit flow

Designed to empty easily and gently, reducing stress on fruit and improving picker speed.

✔ Rear padded cut-away panel

Prevents thigh chafing when moving through canopy or climbing ladders.

✔ High-density padded shoulder straps

Enhanced comfort during long picking days.

✔ Simple hook-and-rope release system

Reliable and easy for new and experienced pickers alike.

✔ Replaceable parts

Liner, harness and side ropes can all be replaced to extend the bucket’s working life — reducing long-term cost.

✔ Optional anti-drop cover (YLARC)

Hi-vis orange cover prevents accidental fruit loss and improves orchard safety.

🟩 KEY BENEFITS

✔ Reduced fatigue

Ergonomic shaping and weight distribution make picking easier on the shoulders, back and legs.

✔ Superior fruit protection

Soft liners, full foam padding and flared shaping minimise bruising and impact damage.

1 bushel (36L) capacity reduces the number of trips to empty the bucket.
