The collection of the olives is performed by a machinery, that has
attached a telescopic rod (A.a), fixed from one side, and free to rotate
hydraulically form the other side. This free side moves mechanically by
the operator in order to come as close as possible to the olives. The
strikers who drop the olives off the tree are on the free side of the
rod. The machinery is either pulled and gets its power/motion through a
compler by a tractor or it is as an independent automotive self-driven
piece of machinery. The olives fall into a PVC foil top (A.b), which
mechanically extends under the tree. The olives are transferred over a
rotating belt (A.c) into the selected sacks, as the leaves have already
been separated from the olives with the help of the absorber (A.d).
