Maximize the performance of your wind machine with Orchard-Rite’s® gearbox and tower options.

We respect the laws of nature by designing our wind machines to work with the topography of the orchard or growing field. To maximize performance, Orchard-Rite provides multiple options for its gearboxes and towers.

• The flat or standard gearbox provides protection in orchards and growing fields that are flat/level or have minimal topographical variances.
• The tilt gearbox provides protection in orchards and growing fields with a slope from 2 to 6 degrees and is designed for use with single topographical anomalies.
• The contour gearbox allows the wind machine to follow the land’s terrain providing coverage in orchards and fields with multiple topographical anomalies.
• The fixed gearbox provides custom coverage in narrow blocks, canyons and draws.
• Towers are constructed of either ¼ or 5/16 inch steel depending on the model selected. Towers can also be galvanized for use in wet climates.
• The straight or standard tower can be used in most orchards and fields.
• The dog-leg tower compensates for a slope over 6 degrees. When combined with a contour gearbox, the dog-leg tower can provide coverage in terrain with a slope up to 12 degrees.

A sales representative who is experienced in wind machine placement will review your property to examine the terrain, determine the effect of drift and recommend a model, an option package and optimal position for the machine.
