I've been searching with little success for plans, descriptions, or even a picture of a mobile platform for picking strawberries. The thing I have in mind would straddle the row, and the picker would sit or lie on it, push along the row with his or her feet, and use both hands for picking directly in front of them.
The closest I've come are these:
a two-person weeding cart

two titles of possibly similar items from "Farm Show" Magazine

Do any of you have any leads? Have you ever used one, and is it worth using for picking 1-2 hours per day during strawberry season?
thanks, Richard
