The STIHL HTA 86 is a powerful and lightweight telescopic cordless pole pruner designed for professional tree maintenance. With a reach of up to 3.9m, it’s ideal for pruning, removing dead wood, and cutting back fruit trees.
Powerful performance, long battery life and outstanding handling are essential when tackling more demanding gardening jobs. STIHL’s AP System offers quiet, emission free performance, particularly useful in noise-sensitive areas.
This extensive system with a wide selection of products with exchangeable batteries and backpack batteries are suited to large gardens and for professional use.
The STIHL HTA 86 is a telescopic cordless pole pruner designed for professional applications in tree maintenance, orchards, and for local authorities. Its powerful, quiet, and low-vibration operation makes it perfect for tasks such as pruning trees, removing dead wood, clearing storm breakage, and cutting back fruit trees. The lightweight and compact power head, equipped with a 1/4″ PM3 saw chain, ensures a clean and precise cut, while the rigid shaft provides excellent guidance and control.
STIHL’s design focuses on user efficiency and comfort. The square telescopic shaft features a twist-secured clamping sleeve, allowing for rapid, tool-free adjustment of the total length from 270cm to 390cm. This enables the operator to quickly adapt the tool to the specific work situation. A sturdy branch hook is integrated into the head, allowing for the easy removal of loose, cut branches from heights up to 5 metres. Furthermore, the excellent balance, achieved by optimising the battery’s centre of gravity, reduces tilting torque and minimises operator fatigue during extended use.
Operation of the HTA 86 is straightforward and safe for both left and right-handed users. A self-resetting locking switch prevents accidental activation, and an ERGO lever allows for continuous work without restarting. At its core is a low-maintenance and highly efficient EC motor. Its compact design and low weight contribute to the tool’s energy-efficient performance and long service life, delivering reliable power whenever needed.
As part of the versatile STIHL AP Battery System, the HTA 86 offers a range of battery options to suit the job at hand. Please note, this is a tool-only unit; the battery and charger are sold separately.
