STIHL HLA 135 Cordless Long-reach Hedge Trimmer (Shell Only)

Expertly engineered for landscapers and other professionals, the STIHL HLA 135 Cordless Long Reach Hedge Trimmer offers the height, strength and precision needed for intensive hedge maintenance work. This tool’s long shaft and double-sided cutting blade make it easy to reach the top and rear of tall hedges, while the cordless design allows freedom of movement without the noise or emissions associated with a petrol machine.

Including a wide range of other smart and practical features, the STIHL HLA135 is a highly capable long-reach trimmer that won’t let you down.

(Please be advised that this product is the ‘shell only’, so does not include a battery or charger. You can buy these items from us separately.)

Cordless Convenience with High Power

The HLA 135 STIHL is the most powerful long-reach cordless hedge trimmer in STIHL’s AP System range. Drawing power from a 36 V battery, the motor generates 1 hp (0.76 kW), to help deliver fast and clean cuts across varied hedge types.

The battery is inserted directly into the housing for improved balance and stability. The STIHL HLA 135 hedge trimmer also benefits from a lightweight magnesium gearbox that keeps weight down without compromising durability.

With a sound power level of 96 dB(A), and sound pressure level at the operator’s ear of just 85 dB(A), this long reach hedge trimmer is ideal for use in noise-sensitive locations.

Reach, Precision, and Versatility

Measuring 247 cm in length, the STIHL 135 Trimmer gives you safe access to high hedges, without the need for ladders. It’s fitted with a 60 cm double-sided cutting blade with 34 mm tooth spacing, offering sharp, efficient performance even on older, woodier growth.

The cutter bar can be manually adjusted up to 145 degrees without tools, giving you the flexibility to work at awkward angles – whether trimming flat tops, vertical faces or difficult rear sections.

Comfortable Handling and Intelligent Control

Ergonomics play a big part in the design of the STIHL 135 Hedge Trimmer. A multi-function handle with LED display lets you monitor battery level and easily switch between three speed settings, allowing the machine to match its power to the task in hand.

At 5.4 kg without the battery, the STIHL HLA 135 is light enough for regular trimming work, without compromising on strength or reach. This tool also includes a built-in eyelet for attaching a shoulder strap, helping to spread the load and improve control during extended use.

Designed for All Conditions

Designed for year-round use, the STIHL HLA 135 Hedge Trimmer has IPX4 certification, demonstrating reliable protection against water splashes from any direction. Therefore, it can be used confidently in damp or changeable conditions.

The air-cooled motor is supported by a metal mesh filter that promotes good airflow and prevents overheating. Easy to remove and clean, this filter delivers consistently high performance and is designed for durability.

Connectivity and Maintenance

Professionals managing multiple tools will appreciate that this long-reach hedge cutter is compatible with a STIHL Smart Connector. Once fitted, this compact device syncs the STIHL HLA 135 Long Reach Hedge Trimmer to the STIHL Connected app and web platform, providing useful data like runtime, service alerts, and tool location. This app makes it much easier to manage a busy fleet of power tools across multiple users or job sites.

Batteries, Chargers and Accessories

STIHL recommends pairing this cordless trimmer with the AP 200 battery, which provides up to 64 minutes of operating time, depending on speed and workload. The AL 501 charger will recharge this battery to full in just 45 minutes.

Along with the aforementioned STIHL Smart Connector, accessories compatible with the STIHL 135 Hedge Trimmer include an RTS Harness, STIHL Battery Protection Foot, and a catcher plate designed to prevent trimmings from falling back into the hedge. For safe operation, a full range of STIHL personal protective equipment is also available for you to buy, including gloves, eye protection and safety boots.
