Fitted with a telescopic shaft that can be quickly adjusted up to 405 cm, it’s capable of pruning, thinning and general maintenance of branches up to 20cm in diameter. The HTA 160 is battery powered – meaning it has low noise emissions, making it ideal for use in noise sensitive areas such as at hospitals, schools and housing estates too.

The STIHL HTA 160 is powered by lithium-ion batteries from the STIHL AP System and features a powerful EC motor plus a lightweight and robust magnesium transmission. For maximum cutting performance, the HTA 160 is fitted with a 3/8” P Picco Micro 3 (PM3) chain as standard but can also be fitted with a 1/4” P Picco Micro 3 (PM3) chain which is ideal for maintaining fruit trees.

The low weight of the cutting head makes manoeuvring between cuts easier too. It’s fitted with a sturdy branch hook too for gripping and removing loose cuttings. The control handle of the HTA 160 has an LED display for convenient control of the pole pruner too.

The HTA 160 comes with a  protective foot as standard for protecting the motor casing from making contact with the ground. The air filter on the housing ensures that the engine is kept cool during work, improving the service life of the pole pruner.

The HTA 160 has a total length of 285 cm to 405 cm. It also has a mounting point for the STIHL Smart Connector 2 A on the power tool housing.
