Cover Story: In the Mediterranean basin, olive cultivation has historically played a leading productive role in the agro-food sector, with it being linked to both the landscape and hydrological protection. The future of olive cultivation depends on the sector’s ability to improve existing technologies and propose new types in order to meet the needs of the crop and help farms meet the challenges presented by climate change, ensuring high-quality production. In this context, mechanization and trunk shakers have always played a leading role, with them being the undisputed protagonists in harvesting but also the most time-consuming and costly operational factors in olive cultivation. In the following review, we examine trunk shakers in olive groves, highlighting the latest models and their strengths and weaknesses based on the research carried out in recent decades. View this paper
