DESCRIPTION:

Powerful and professional, this battery-powered pole pruner features a telescoping-shaft

The STIHL HTA 160 battery pole pruner efficiently supports professionals in tree care, orchards, local authorities and agriculture and forestry when pruning trees, removing dead wood and breakage caused by storms, and pruning fruit trees.

The powerful EC motor of the STIHL HTA 160 is powered by lithium-ion batteries from the STIHL AP System. The lightweight, robust magnesium transmission supports easy manoeuvring. You can use the pole pruner to cut branches and trees up to 20 cm in diameter. Thanks to the professional telescopic shaft with a particularly rigid square profile, the desired overall length of the HTA 160 can be easily adjusted up to 405 cm with quick adjustment. This enables exact positioning and precise cutting even in higher areas of trees. You can even work up to a height of around 5 m for thinning out treetops. The HTA 160 is fitted with the 1/4″ P Picco Micro 3 (PM3) saw chain. No ear protection is required with 1/4″ STIHL saw chains, so you can also work in noise-sensitive areas.

A robust branch hook cast onto the compact cutting head makes it easier to grasp and remove loose cuttings. The sprocket cover is equipped with a direction guide for precise positioning and lateral chip ejection. Thanks to the ergonomically optimised control handle with LED display, you have all the controls of the STIHL HTA 160 conveniently at hand. The standard STIHL protective foot protects the motor housing of the pole pruner from contact with the ground. The easy-to-clean air filter with metal mesh supports optimal motor cooling and as such a long service life for your STIHL HTA 160. The optionally available STIHL RTS harness allows you to take the strain off your back while maintaining a high level of freedom of movement for longer periods of work.

The STIHL HTA 160 has a total length of 285 cm to 405 cm.

All battery power tools within the STIHL AP system have been designed for professional users and daily work, even in adverse weather conditions. With that in mind they are certified as splashproof. The effectiveness of this is also verified through demanding internal tests. The splashwater test is aligned with the IPX4 standard, among others.

Features

TELESCOPIC SHAFT

IMPROVED REACH. The telescopic shaft allows you to work at height from the ground. This is ideal for trimming high-up branches or cutting tall hedges. The telescopic shaft can be adjusted without tools.

SPROCKET COVER WITH DIRECTION GUIDE

FOR MORE CONTROL WHILE YOU WORK. For better directional control when aiming and sawing with your pole pruner, the direction guide has been integrated into the sprocket cover as a raised line.

BRANCH HOOK

REMOVAL OF LOOSE CUTTINGS. Thanks to the sturdy branch hook, you can remove loose and cut branches from great heights.

PROFESSIONAL TELESCOPIC SHAFT

PRECISE WORK WITH LONG REACH. This telescopic shaft has a square tube for especially precise cuts. This means excellent shaft rigidity when extended, which supports accurate positioning and precise performance when sawing branches at a greater distance.

LIGHTWEIGHT, ROBUST MAGNESIUM TRANSMISSION

LOW WEIGHT WITH HIGH DURABILITY. Especially in the professional sector, low weight is of great importance for work. Thanks to the use of lightweight magnesium, you benefit from weight reduction without any compromise in terms of transmission robustness. This relieves the strain on you as you work and ensures that the power tool has a long service life.

BATTERY COMPARTMENT IN THE MOTOR CASING

DIRECT POWER SUPPLY TO THE POWER TOOL. With this power tool, you can insert the required battery from the STIHL AP-System directly into the engine housing. This increases your mobility and flexibility when working.

PROTECTIVE FOOT

PREVENTS DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE GROUND. The protective foot supplied as standard prevents the housing from coming into direct contact with the ground. This protects the housing from dirt and moisture.

METAL MESH AIR FILTER

OPTIMAL ENGINE COOLING. The air filter with fine metal mesh cleans the air and in this way ensures optimum engine cooling. As it is itself easy to clean, it also offers a long service life.

OLED DISPLAY BATTERY-POWERED PRUNING SHEARS

IMPORTANT TOOL DATA AT A GLANCE. Useful information is clearly displayed on the easy-to-read OLED display. This includes the charge level of the installed battery, the selected blade opening width and the total number of cuts.

IPX4 CERTIFIED

SPLASHWATER PROTECTION. The IPX protection classes define the moisture protection of electrical or electronic devices. The moisture protection test is defined in different stages. IPX4 certifies protection against splashwater from all sides. Battery-powered tools with this certification are therefore designed for daily use, even in rainy conditions.
