Daily exposure to hand arm vibration by different electric olive beaters

Journal of Agricultural Engineering, 2014
The electric hand held olive harvesters have a low weight (about 2 kg) and cause the fruit pick up by means of impacts produced by their vibrational tools: for this reason they transmit elevated vibration doses to the operator’s hand arm system during ...
