STIHL HTA 135 Cordless Pole Pruner (Shell Only)

Powerful Cordless Performance for Demanding Tree Work

The STIHL HTA 135 is the most powerful cordless telescopic pole pruner in the STIHL range. It is designed for professional users working in tree care, orchard maintenance, and groundskeeping. From cutting storm-damaged branches to pruning high canopies, it delivers strong, consistent performance from the ground. This tool allows you to carry out tough jobs with speed, precision, and minimal strain.

Cordless Operation with Uncompromised Power

As part of STIHL’s professional AP System, this pruner runs on AP lithium-ion batteries fitted directly into the tool housing. This increases mobility and removes the need for external battery packs or trailing cables. The built-in electronics deliver constant power regardless of battery charge level. Unlike some cordless tools, performance remains consistent until the battery is empty.

Exceptional Reach with Rigid Shaft Design

The HTA 135 features a telescopic shaft that extends from 285 cm up to 405 cm. This gives you the reach to tackle tall trees and wide canopies without a ladder. The shaft is built with a square tube structure for excellent rigidity, even at full extension. This stiffness improves cutting accuracy and control, especially at maximum height. You can adjust the shaft length easily without tools during work.

Durable Build for Long-Term Professional Use

The lightweight magnesium gearhead offers high strength while helping to keep the machine easy to manoeuvre. This reduces fatigue during long pruning sessions while maintaining exceptional durability. A protective foot shields the housing from direct ground contact, protecting it from moisture and impact damage. The fine mesh air filter ensures reliable motor cooling and is quick to clean.

Cutting Features Designed for Efficiency

The HTA 135 is equipped with a 12-inch bar and 3/8″ P saw chain for fast, clean cuts. A raised line on the sprocket cover acts as a visual guide for aiming while cutting. A sturdy branch hook is included near the cutting head, making it easier to remove loose or cut branches from high up. These features improve productivity, especially when working in dense or high canopies.

Smart Control and Energy Efficiency

The ergonomic control handle includes variable speed adjustment for more efficient energy use. You can reduce power for lighter jobs to save battery life. This adjustment is done directly from the handle without interrupting your workflow. Energy generated from braking is recovered and fed back into the battery to extend runtime.

Built for Use in All Conditions

With an IPX4 rating, this machine is splashwater-protected from all directions. This makes it suitable for daily use, even in rain. It’s built to withstand harsh weather and professional workloads without compromising performance or safety.

A Professional-Grade Tool with Unmatched Reach

The STIHL HTA 135 combines cordless convenience, intelligent features, and a long telescopic reach. It’s built for professionals who demand powerful, reliable performance at height.
