Description

Why buy the STIHL HLA 140 B 24″ Long Reach Hedge Trimmer (Tool Only)?

  • Powerful cordless long-reach hedge trimmer for professional use
  • 60cm (24″) double-sided, diamond-ground cutting blades
  • 145° adjustable cutter head for versatile trimming angles
  • Lightweight magnesium transmission and excellent balance for reduced fatigue
  • IPX4 rated for safe and effective use in wet conditions
  • Individual tool only – requires a compatible STIHL AP System battery and charger

Professional Performance for Demanding Tasks

The STIHL HLA 140 is a high-performance cordless long-reach hedge trimmer from the STIHL AP battery system, specifically engineered for professional landscapers, gardeners, and municipal maintenance teams. It is perfectly suited for pruning, trimming, and maintaining tall and wide hedges, shrubs, and bushes. Its lightweight design, low noise output, and minimal vibrations make it ideal for extended periods of use, especially in noise-sensitive environments like parks, hospitals, and residential areas.

Advanced Power and Control

Powered by a 36V lithium-ion battery, the HLA 140 B boasts an efficient EC motor capable of accelerating the blades up to 4,000 rpm for a clean, precise cut. An ergonomic control handle allows the operator to select from three speed levels (3,200, 3,600, and 4,000 rpm) to match the cutting performance to the task at hand. The intelligent design ensures excellent balance, reducing operator fatigue, and is comfortable for both left- and right-handed users.

Superior Reach and Cutting Capability

With a total length of 245 cm, this long-reach hedge trimmer makes light work of even the most challenging hedges. The 60 cm (24″) laser-cut, double-sided, diamond-ground blades are friction-optimised for high cutting performance and extended battery life. The cutter head can be adjusted by up to 145°, allowing for easy cutting of hedge tops, sides, and ground cover. Should the blades jam on a thick branch, an anti-lock feature automatically reverses their movement when the trigger is released, freeing the tool.

For convenience, the head of the hedge trimmer folds flat, reducing the total length to 188 cm for easy storage and transport. The tool is also IPX4 rated, certifying it for use in rainy and wet conditions.

Lightweight Magnesium Transmission: The use of magnesium in the transmission reduces the overall weight without compromising robustness, relieving strain during long working days.

Constant Power: Intelligent electronics ensure the tool delivers consistently high power throughout the battery’s discharge cycle, unlike other brands where performance can fade.

Loop Handle: The loop handle offers excellent manoeuvrability, allowing the tool to be guided precisely, even in confined spaces between shrubs or park benches.

Tip Protector: An integrated tip protector prevents damage to the blades when cutting close to the ground, walls, or other obstacles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What battery and charger do I need for the STIHL HLA 140 B?
The HLA 140 B is sold as a ‘Tool Only’ unit and requires a battery and charger from the STIHL AP System. The recommended battery is the AP 300 S for the best balance and runtime, but it is compatible with all AP batteries, as well as the AR L backpack batteries for significantly extended working times. You will also need a compatible STIHL charger, such as the AL 301 or AL 500.
Who is the HLA 140 B long-reach hedge trimmer designed for?
This hedge trimmer is specifically designed for professional users, such as landscape gardeners, grounds maintenance contractors, and local authorities. Its combination of power, long reach, low noise, and low vibration makes it ideal for frequent, all-day use on large or tall hedges, especially in public or noise-sensitive areas.
How long is the STIHL HLA 140 B and can it be transported easily?
The total length of the HLA 140 B is 245 cm, providing excellent reach for high and wide hedges.

Can the HLA 140 B be used in the rain?
Yes, the STIHL HLA 140 B has an IPX4 rating for splashwater protection. This means it is certified for use in wet conditions and can be safely operated during rainfall, making it a reliable tool for professional users in the unpredictable UK weather.
What is the cutting capacity of the HLA 140 B?
The HLA 140 B features double-sided cutting blades with a tooth spacing of 34 mm. This allows it to efficiently cut through branches of a substantial thickness, providing a clean and precise finish on overgrown or mature hedges.
