13.5 ft Adjustable Fruit Picker Pole with Basket
Product description
Soft-landing basket: The lower rim of the basket includes a dense foam pad that cushions fruit after it’s released, reducing impacts and bruising during harvest. The metal basket has generous capacity and accepts fruit roughly 1" to 6" in diameter, appropriate for many common backyard varieties.
Sectioned pole sizing: Each pole segment measures 16". You can combine sections to build three primary lengths — a compact 6.5 ft (35"–77"), a mid 9 ft (35"–105") or a maximum 13.5 ft (35"–161") reach — allowing you to access high branches without climbing. The claw-style head grips fruit to steady picks and limit drops.
Materials and durability: The shaft is constructed from stainless steel for a lightweight but sturdy feel suitable for outdoor use. The basket is metal with a rust-resistant finish so it resists corrosion and holds shape under load. A dedicated anti-pull-out screw and double metal clamps reinforce the connection between pole and basket to reduce wobble and bending.
Quick setup and use: No tools are required to put the picker together — simply rotate and tighten the desired number of rod sections to reach the length you want. Two hand-operated clamps fasten the basket halves and the anti-pull-out screw on the first section prevents slippage. The head unclips for storage, making it convenient to stow away between harvests.
Practical application: Designed for everyday backyard harvesting, the unit works for apples, pears, citrus, mangoes and similar produce. Use the claw to nudge or pull fruit into the cushioned basket, then lower it gently to avoid damage. The robust fittings and corrosion-resistant materials aim to give seasons of reliable use.
Pros
- Adjustable reach up to 13.5 ft (35"–161")
- Foam-cushioned basket protects fruit
- Stainless steel construction resists bending
Cons
- Longest setup can be heavy for some users
- Brief assembly guidance provided
- Wire prongs may press into very soft fruit
VerdictA dependable tool for backyard and small-orchard harvesting: the stainless-steel pole and rust-resistant basket hold fruit from about 1" to 6" across, while a thick foam pad protects picked produce. The sectioned 16" rods let you set the reach to 35"–77", 35"–105", or 35"–161", and the clamp-and-screw fittings keep the basket secure. Assembly needs only hand tightening and the head detaches for co

We really like it
Does the job and we’re happy with it. The sectioned poles extend the reach — I can get over 20 feet when fully extended.

ALLISON BURROWS 5/5
Robust, adjustable picker
Really well made. Unscrews into sections to set the height you want. Strong metal — I’d recommend it.

Adjustable and dependable
Seems sturdy. Not ideal for very soft figs because the wire prongs can dig in, but handy for lemons and firmer fruit.

Well-built and reliable
Very solid and easy to change handle length. I bought the extra-long model; fully assembled it may be heavy for me, but with 4–5 sections it’s perfect. Should last a long time.

Strong and effective
Very pleased with it. My tall orange tree had fruit out of reach and this made harvesting easy.

Very useful and sturdy
Performs perfectly. Solid construction. Picked tangerines quickly and even grabbed ripening papayas without bruising.

Great for mangoes and shaking branches
Assembly was straightforward: thread the 16" sections together until you hit the length you want, snap the two yellow basket halves together, slide the clamps on and tighten. No tools required. It pulls mangos down easily and the basket lets me shake the tree to dislodge hidden fruit. I’ll try using it to pull down large coconuts to the ground to remove by hand — they’re too big to fit in the basket. My previous picker lasted around 15 years in Florida weather and this one feels even better built. Not too heavy for me, and I kept extra sections in reserve to fine-tune the height.

Solid picker, poor instructions
Works well and feels robust, but the assembly directions were minimal and a bit unclear.
