Presair’s pneumatic foot pedal and air switch system provides safe, hands-free control for tree shaker machinery. This setup removes electrical components from the operator’s location, reducing risk and simplifying maintenance in outdoor environments. Contact Presair to integrate a pneumatic foot pedal for your tree shaker or agricultural equipment.
Pneumatic Foot Pedal for Tree Shaker Operation
Tree shakers operate in wet, dusty, and debris-filled environments where exposed electrical controls can fail. A pneumatic foot pedal for a tree shaker eliminates those issues. The system uses air pressure to trigger the machine, isolating the operator from electrical contact and improving safety in the field.
F800 Foot Pedal and TVA411B-H Air Switch Integration
Presair’s solution pairs the F800 foot pedal with the TVA411B-H air switch. When the operator steps on the F800, it sends an air pulse through tubing to the TVA411B-H. The air switch closes the electrical circuit inside the control housing, activating the shaker’s motor. This system separates actuation from voltage and holds up to repeated seasonal use.

Installed in RES Equipment’s Lit’l Shakee Tree Shaker
RES Equipment uses this system in the Lit’l Shakee tree shaker. The TVA411B-H mounts inside the machine’s control housing. The F800 pedal is positioned for the operator’s foot access. Tubing connects the two. Stepping on the pedal sends air to the switch, which powers the motor to begin the shake cycle.
This pneumatic system allows the operator to activate the machine without handling electrical controls or wiring. It reduces failure points and keeps electrical components sealed away from the operating environment.
Advantages of Pneumatic Foot Pedals for Tree Shakers
-
No voltage present at the actuation point
-
Hands-free activation improves workflow
-
Resistant to moisture, dust, and field debris
-
Air tubing simplifies installation
-
Suited for high-volume seasonal use
Additional Applications
Presair pneumatic actuation components are suitable for more than tree shakers. They apply across industries where exposure and control reliability matter:
-
Forestry and crop equipment
-
Horticultural automation systems
-
Livestock chute and gate control
-
Food and beverage equipment in washdown areas
Any system that requires operator actuation in rugged environments can benefit from pneumatic foot control.
