B440 XL is designed to combine compactness and agility with versatility and speed, ideal (but no only) for the mechanical harvesting of olive, almonds, pistachio or hanging fruit trees of medium-sized trunks. The 4-wheel drive, with 17′ tires and increased wheelbase gives the harvester greater stability, while the more powerful hydraulic wheel motors guarantee faster speed on the road. The rear steering axle along and the compact size give the machine agility in reduced spaces while the telescopic arm and the hydraulic adjustments of the double jaws trunk shaker, facilitate the tightening of the trunks or the main branches.
Equipped with 1.45 m telescopic arm, the harvester can work with or without reverse umbrella, thanks to the quick release system. Once harvest ends, B440 XL can be used as a drive unit for a range of different devices (i.e. forks)
The umbrella case contains about 250 kg fruits which can be unloaded through a hydraulically operated trap door on the bottom of the case.
The B440 XL complies with the TIER 5 requirements and it is approved for public road circulation
