Why choose the HTA160 cordless pole pruner?
Exceptional cutting strength
The HTA160 uses a 30 cm (12″) bar with a 3/8″ P saw chain to deliver strong, precise cuts on branches up to 20 cm thick. The powerful 1.4 kW EC motor ensures high torque and smooth performance, even when tackling dense canopies.
Versatile telescopic shaft
The professional telescopic shaft extends smoothly from 2.85 m to 4.05 m, allowing you to reach high branches without ladders. Adjusting the shaft is quick and tool-free, so you can work efficiently across different tree heights and angles.
Lightweight and robust design
The lightweight magnesium transmission reduces overall tool weight without sacrificing durability. The sturdy branch hook helps you pull down cut material safely, while the protective foot prevents damage to the motor housing when resting on the ground.
Comfortable and quiet operation
The hta160 runs quietly and with minimal vibration, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments like residential areas, hospitals, and schools. The metal mesh air filter keeps the motor cool and is easy to clean, supporting longer service life.
Smart and flexible power
Powered by the STIHL AP system, the HTA 160 can run up to 70 minutes on an AP 300 S battery or even longer with AR backpack batteries (up to 393 minutes with AR 3000 L). The integrated battery compartment provides direct connection for maximum mobility, and it’s ready for the STIHL Smart Connector 2 A to track tool usage and maintenance via the STIHL connected app.
