At Agrilevante 2025, Cm showcased its latest solutions designed to speed up handling operations in the horticultural, olive-growing, and fruit-growing sectors. A wide and diversified range with one common denominator: the utmost protection of the quality and integrity of the harvested product.
Crop handling is one of the most critical phases in horticulture and specialized farming. Carefully transporting and storing produce is essential for businesses aiming to maintain high profitability by focusing on crop quality. CM addressed this need at Agrilevante 2025 by dedicating its participation in the Bari exhibition to the key agricultural sectors of Apulia — namely industrial tomato production, fruit growing, and, of course, olive cultivation.
Specifically designed for this last segment was the 10 TBCL triplex lifter, which combines compact dimensions with a 1,000 kg load capacity. Allowing medium- and large-scale oil mills to speed up handling operations even in areas with limited maneuvering space.
In such contexts, the 10 TBCL ensures full load visibility thanks to its design featuring two side-mounted lift cylinders — instead of the traditional central one — providing precise control over lifting and lowering movements and thus ensuring maximum operational safety.
This focus on safety is shared by the 16 THAD model, with a 1,600 kg capacity, aimed at fruit and wine-growing businesses. It offers a maximum lift height of 2 meters and features a “strincasse” system that, without increasing the overall height of the equipment (1,315 mm), provides a wider opening — up to 2,000 mm — enabling the transport of more bins per load.
Enhancing operational efficiency further is a 200 mm free-lift system, which allows the forks to be raised independently without increasing the vertical footprint. While a double-acting lift cylinder ensures smooth fork motion, eliminating any risk of jerky movements.
These design features make the 16 THAD perfectly capable of tackling even the toughest handling tasks. The same kind of demanding operations that define the working profile of the 20 DBCH duplex lifter. With a 2,000 kg load capacity, twin-cylinder structure, and a maximum lift height of 3.2 meters, the 20 DBCH offers the strength and versatility required for large-scale horticultural operations.
Also designed for this sector are CM’s load clamps, intended for tractors equipped with front loaders and offering load capacities between 1,600 and 2,000 kg. Configurable according to specific operational needs and compatible with all CM accessories developed for transport and storage activities, these clamps firmly secure crates and bins, allowing safe handling without the risk of partial or total product loss — even when tractors are forced to work on uneven or unstable terrain.
Maximum Freedom
Also aimed at supporting operations within oil mills is CM’s top-of-the-range bin tipper, the 165 FLAP PFR. Featuring two width-adjustable forks adaptable to any type of bin, a maximum load capacity of 1,200 kg, and a tipping angle of up to 165 degrees, it stands out for its patented container-gripping system. This innovative mechanism locks the bins from below, leaving the top open, thus facilitating product flow during unloading and significantly speeding up discharge operations.
