Innovative product for Coconut / Palm Tree Climbing Machine

Our final year UG students are developed an innovative product for Coconut / Palm Tree Climbing Machine and delivered to a former in the year 2018 under the guidance of the department head Dr. S. Indran. The main goal of this project is to minimize human efforts required for coconut tree climbing, and the most important to provide safety to the climber. The time for climbing a tree has been reduced.

Nowadays in city areas climbers are not available because of that the wastage of coconut increasing day by day. Also these matured coconuts are not innocuous for human if we are not harvest that it can be harmful to the human. Coconut is one of the cash crop in India. India is one among the top players of coconut producers in the world. The plantation and harvesting of coconut plant is a time taking process. Traditionally this job is taken up by the socially and economically backward people in India. As the literacy rate increases and India is growing economically, there are several high paid jobs which people move to. It also a risky job in which an accident might be fatal in some cases. Without proper insurance coverage, this could be a blow to the entire family if the climber is the lone person to earn and take care of the family. It is also found that, people engage in this job for several years develop issues related to their skin.

Better solutions have to be identified to harvest coconuts since the job is risky in nature. So that, our final year students taken up this as an idea to develop an innovative product. The conventional way of harvesting is by climbing the coconut tree can be evaded by this product. If the climber climbs on tree and falls from the height of 90 feet then downright he will die. So we conclude that this machine can be used in future and this agricultural product will be a boon for the formers.
