What is a harvest trolley?

A harvest trolley, also known as a transport trolley, is used to harvest and transport crops – for example, inside a greenhouse or from the field to storage. The trolley helps the grower work efficiently when picking or harvesting, collecting, and transporting products such as tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, or cabbages.

Using a harvest trolley reduces physical strain, while increasing the speed and productivity of the harvesting process. Depending on the type of crop and growing conditions, various types of harvest trolleys are available — from compact pipe-rail trolleys for greenhouses to sturdy towed versions for open field cultivation.

Different types of harvest trolleys for sale

There are two main groups of harvest trolleys:

• Harvest trolleys for greenhouse horticulture
• Harvest trolleys for open field cultivation

Which type of harvest trolley suits you best depends on the crop, growing environment, and desired level of automation. Below, we explain the different models in more detail.

Harvest trolleys for greenhouse horticulture

Greenhouse harvest trolleys are mainly used for crops such as tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers. These trolleys are compact, sometimes electrically driven, and often equipped with an adjustable working platform. They run on pipe rails or pneumatic tyres, depending on the greenhouse setup.

✔ Pipe-rail trolleys

Pipe-rail trolleys run on pipe rails between the crop rows and provide the user with a stable and safe working platform. They are usually electrically driven and height-adjustable, allowing work at different levels.

These harvest trolleys, often used as tomato harvest trolleys, are ideal for harvesting, leaf removal, and crop maintenance in tall crops.

✔ Harvest trolleys with pneumatic tyres

In greenhouses without pipe rails or with uneven floors, trolleys with pneumatic tyres are used. These are flexible in use and easy to move. Depending on the model, they can be manually or electrically driven.

✔ Self-propelled harvest platforms

The most advanced type within greenhouse horticulture. These platforms are electrically powered and can be height-adjusted. Some models are equipped with multiple working levels or integrated transport systems. Self-propelled platforms ensure high productivity and ergonomic working conditions, even during long harvesting days.

Harvest trolleys for open field cultivation

For open field crops such as potatoes or cabbages, more robust harvest trolleys are used. These can handle uneven terrain and carry heavier loads such as full crates or pallets with harvested produce.

✔ Towed harvest trolleys

Towed harvest trolleys are attached behind a tractor. They are easy to use, low-maintenance, and available in various sizes.

Pallet harvest trolleys

These trolleys are designed to transport pallets with harvested produce. Some models feature a hydraulic lift system or tiltable loading platforms for easy loading and unloading.

Crate harvest trolleys

Equipped with racks or rails on which multiple crates can be placed. Ideal for harvesting vegetables such as cauliflower, leeks, or lettuce.

✔ Self-propelled harvest trolleys

Self-propelled models are powered by their own engine and therefore do not require an external power source to move. They offer more independence and speed than towed versions and can sometimes be fitted with conveyor belts or sorting systems.

What are the benefits of a harvest trolley?

✅ Higher efficiency: faster harvesting with fewer actions.
✅ Ergonomic working: less lifting, bending, and walking.
✅ Safer operation: stable platforms and controlled driving movements.
✅ Time-saving: direct transport of harvested products.
✅ Flexible use: suitable for both harvesting and crop maintenance.

What to consider when buying a harvest trolley?

When purchasing a (second-hand) harvest trolley, it’s wise to consider:

• Suitability for your crop (height, surface, crop type).
• Type of drive: manual, electric, or hydraulic.
• Maintenance condition: check, for example, wheels, batteries, bearings, and platform control.
• Capacity: number or size of crates and working height.
