Professional Power for the Tallest Hedges
The STIHL HLA 150 B is a robust telescopic cordless long-reach hedge trimmer, specifically engineered for professional landscapers, gardeners, and municipal teams. It is the ideal solution for pruning, trimming, and maintaining the tallest hedges, shrubs, and bushes, allowing operators to safely reach heights over 4 metres from the ground. Its lightweight construction, low noise output, and minimal vibrations make it perfectly suited for extended use throughout the day, even in noise-sensitive areas like residential estates or near public buildings.
Advanced Cutting Performance
At the heart of the HLA 150 B is a powerful EC motor that drives the 60cm (24″) laser-cut, double-sided, diamond-ground blades. These friction-optimised blades deliver a clean, precise cut and contribute to extending battery life. The motor provides rapid blade acceleration up to 4,000 rpm, with three selectable speed levels (3,200, 3,600, and 4,000 rpm) managed via an ergonomic control handle. This allows the user to match the power to the task, conserving energy on lighter growth. An anti-lock feature automatically reverses blade movement if they jam on a thick branch, allowing for easy release.
Operator-Focused Design
STIHL has designed the HLA 150 B with user comfort and efficiency in mind. The tool-free telescopic shaft extends from 207cm to 332cm, providing exceptional reach. The cutter head can be adjusted by up to 145°, enabling precise trimming of hedge tops, sides, and awkward angles. A lightweight yet robust magnesium transmission ensures durability without adding unnecessary weight, while the overall excellent balance of the tool reduces operator fatigue. For transport and storage, the cutter head folds flat, making it convenient for mobile garden maintenance businesses.
STIHL AP Battery System & Runtimes
Please note: This is a tool-only model. The battery and charger are sold separately. The HLA 150 B is part of the STIHL AP professional battery system. The battery is inserted directly into the engine housing, ensuring excellent balance and mobility. The recommended AP 300 S battery provides an optimal blend of power and weight. The machine is also compatible with the STIHL Smart Connector for efficient fleet management.
