The STIHL RLA 240 Cordless Lawn Scarifier is a versatile cordless lawn scarifier designed for smaller and more intricate gardens. Supplied with both a scarifying blade unit and spring tine roller, it allows you to aerate, dethatch and revitalise your lawn with the convenience of battery power and complete freedom of movement.
The STIHL RLA 240 Cordless Lawn Scarifier is the ideal solution for homeowners looking to improve lawn health and appearance in smaller gardens and more complex lawn layouts. Part of the STIHL AK System, this battery-powered scarifier combines excellent manoeuvrability, efficient performance and the flexibility to tackle both scarifying and dethatching tasks.
Powered by a 36V lithium-ion battery, the RLA 240 eliminates the restrictions of power cables, allowing you to work freely around flower beds, pathways and garden obstacles. Its compact 34cm working width offers an excellent balance between productivity and manoeuvrability, making it particularly effective on lawns with tight corners and irregular shapes.
The RLA 240 includes two interchangeable working attachments:
- Scarifying Blade Unit for removing thatch and improving soil aeration.
- Spring Tine Roller for gently combing moss, dead grass and lawn debris from the surface.
Changing between attachments is quick and straightforward, allowing you to adapt the machine to seasonal lawn care requirements.
The working depth can be adjusted using the infinitely variable adjustment system, with settings ranging from 7.5mm above ground level to 9.5mm below the soil surface, providing precise control for different lawn conditions.
Any collected moss, thatch and debris are gathered in the generous 50-litre collection box, helping leave your lawn clean and tidy after treatment.
Built with a lightweight yet durable polymer housing, the RLA 240 is designed for long service life while remaining easy to manoeuvre. Smooth-running wheels improve handling, while the foldable handlebar and integrated carrying handles make transport and storage simple.
A spring-assisted battery compartment allows easy battery removal for charging or storage.
When paired with the recommended STIHL AK 30 battery, the RLA 240 can cover approximately 250m² on a single charge.
Please note that the RLA 240 is only available as a tool only, the battery and charger are sold separately.
