Paper presents a general review of many years’ experimental studies on mechanized harvesting of shrub berry fruits - currants, gooseberries, raspberries and black chokeberries (aronia). Results of the studies showed that available nowadays technical equipment enables practical mechanization of currants, gooseberies and black chokeberries harvesting. However, for mechanized harvest of raspberries the new varieties of fruits - resistant to mechanical damages at harvesting and handling - have to be grown and selected.
