The STIHL SH 56 Petrol Vacuum Shredder designed for domestic use. Featuring a fuel-efficient STIHL 2-MIX engine, powerful 13N blowing force and integrated shredding function, it makes clearing and reducing garden waste fast, easy and efficient.
The STIHL SH 56 Petrol Vacuum Shredder is a efficient vacuuming and effective shredding in a single machine.
Ideal for homeowners, the SH 56 is powered by a reliable 27.2cc STIHL 2-MIX engine, delivering excellent performance whilst reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions compared to conventional two-stroke engines. This helps lower running costs while supporting more environmentally conscious operation.
The integrated star-shaped shredding blade, mounted on the fan wheel, reduces the volume of collected material by finely shredding leaves, grass and even hedge trimmings. This helps minimise waste volume and creates material that’s easier to compost or dispose of.
Starting is simple thanks to the manual fuel pump, which primes the fuel system and reduces the number of pulls required to start the engine. A semi-automatic choke system and automatic stop-button reset further improve reliability and help prevent engine flooding.
Lightweight at just 5.4kg, the STIHL SH 56 offers comfortable handling and excellent manoeuvrability for a wide range of garden maintenance tasks.

FEATURES
HD2 Air Filter
The STIHL HD2 filter is designed to provide exceptional filtration performance, helping maintain engine efficiency even when working in dusty and debris-heavy environments. The advanced filter material prevents even fine dust particles from reaching critical engine parts, reducing wear and extending maintenance intervals.
One-Handed Operation
The ergonomically designed control handle allows all engine functions to be operated comfortably with one hand. Perfect for extended garden clear-up tasks and working around obstacles.
STIHL Anti-Vibration System
The integrated anti-vibration system reduces the transmission of engine vibrations to the operator. Ideal for longer leaf-clearing sessions around larger gardens and properties.
Collection Bag with Harness
The SH 56 is supplied with a collection bag and harness system that helps make vacuuming and shredding more comfortable.
