Description:

The HTA 160 is a powerful, professional, battery-powered pole pruner with a telescoping shaft. The HTA 160, the most powerful cordless pole pruner in the STIHL® AP System™, is ideal for tree maintenance and fruit orchards. The telescoping shaft features a unique, square-shaft design that stays strong and rigid, so you can prune high branches up to 13’3” with ease and precision. Its lightweight gearbox design provides high-speed precision while pruning; and when not pruning, a foot mount support keeps the machine from resting directly on the ground. You can control the machine’s speed with the variable-speed trigger, optimizing performance for the longest run time. The HTA 160’s brushless motor is efficient and virtually maintenance-free. This pole pruner is also designed to seamlessly connect with the STIHL® Smart Connector™ 2 A, which allows you to take advantage of the STIHL connected™ platform and manage your fleet like never before.

Features:

• Telescoping Pole – With an adjustable shaft, telescoping pole pruners can cut branches up to 16 feet above ground.
• Foot Mount Included – The included foot mount provides added stability for resting the machine on the ground while also protecting the motor housing.
• Durable Square Shaft – With a square-shaft design, the telescoping shaft has increased rigidity, providing control and precision while reducing fatigue.
• Outboard Mounting of Guide Bar and Saw Chain – Outboard mounting of guide bar and saw chain allows for better flush cutting than other designs.
• Robust Branch Hook – The robust branch hook helps users remove loose clippings from trees.
• Efficient and Virtually Maintenance-Free Motor – The brushless motor is ideal for noise-sensitive environments with virtually zero maintenance required.
• Lightweight Sprocket Cover with Captive Bar Nuts – The sprocket cover is lightweight and the captive bar nuts are held securely in place for efficient saw chain maintenance.
• Slotted Sprocket Cover – Clears chips and sawdust to reduce clogging and downtime.
• Side-Access Chain Tensioner – More convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw.
• Retaining Latch – All STIHL® battery-powered products feature a retaining latch that is designed to prevent the unit from unintentional starts when the battery is inserted.
• Variable-Speed Trigger – The variable-speed trigger allows precise control for each task.
• Multi-Function Control Handle – Having easy access to all of the controls on one comfortable handle helps make it easier to complete tasks so the operator’s hand never has to leave the handle.
• High-Tech Polymer Housings – Housings are lightweight, withstand greater impact, and are corrosion-resistant.
• Reduced-Emission Engine Technology—Caring for Nature™ – The STIHL® Caring for Nature™ seal identifies its powered products that are more environmentally conscious, producing zero or low exhaust emissions. STIHL Inc. defines “low exhaust emissions” as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards.
