STIHL LAUNCHES ITS MOST POWERFUL BATTERY POLE PRUNERS TO DATE shaft best suited to thinning work in young stands .
Battery pole pruners offer numerous advantages compared to petrol models , such as a low noise and emission free work environment , low running costs and easier maintenance .
Thanks to the lightweight magnesium gearbox , both models are easy to manoeuvre into the desired position for precise cutting . The design of the sprocket cover is also optimised to promote efficient ejection of the wood shavings for faster working too .
STIHL has launched two new professional battery pole pruners , offering greater cordless performance than ever before . The two tools , forming part of the AP System , give professional landscapers and arborists lightweight operability and maximum power for unrivalled efficiency .
Both the HTA 150 and HTA 160 offer a high power output of 1.4 kW , the same as the petrol HT 135 pole pruner and 0.3kW higher than the HTA 135 . Driven by a powerful and low maintenance EC motor , both the HTA 150 and HTA 160 offer elite performance with both models capable of cutting through large branches for efficiency in professional arboriculture and forestry applications .
While the HTA 160 boasts a rigid telescopic shaft with a maximum length of 405 cm , the same reach as professional petrol models , the HTA 150 offers a shorter , fixed length
Like many tools in the AP System , the HTA 150 and HTA 160 feature a metal mesh air filter , helping to cool the battery and motor during operation and further enhancing the lifetime of the product .
Compatible with the Smart Connector 2 A , both models allow users to gather insights from the tool , such as working time and working speed history . Not only this , but this intuitive feature also alerts the user when maintenance tasks are due on each individual tool to maximise productivity .
