STIHL HTA 86 Cordless Pole Saw (Shell Only)

STIHL HTA 86 Cordless Pole Pruner – Power and Precision for the Professionals

Maintaining tall trees becomes effortless with the STIHL HTA 86 Cordless Pole Pruner. This innovative tool combines the latest battery technology with professional-grade performance and reliability, offering both serious gardeners and commercial operators a pole pruner they can trust. Boasting advanced engineering and designed to maximise user comfort, it makes pruning at height safer and more controlled than ever.

Quietly Efficient with Long-Lasting Power

The STIHL HTA86 is fitted with a robust EC motor delivering 0.85 kW of efficient output. Designed to last, it is expertly engineered to provide consistent strength over years of service, requiring very little maintenance and operating at only 77 dB(A). That makes it far quieter than petrol-powered alternatives, and more considerate for use in noise-sensitive areas, such as residential gardens or community spaces. Combined with exceptionally low vibration levels of 1 m/s², this HTA 86 STIHL pole pruner is very comfortable to use, even during long working days.

Clean Cuts with Every Pass

The STIHL HTA 86 battery pole saw includes a 12-inch (30cm) guide bar paired with a ¼” PM3 saw chain to deliver sharp, precise cuts on branches up to 5 inches (12cm) thick. Whether trimming fruit trees or clearing broken wood after a storm, it provides control you can rely on. A sturdy branch hook, located just below the cutting bar, allows you to pull down cuttings safely, reducing the need for extra clearing once pruning is complete. With its rigid shaft, this STIHL pole saw remains completely stable at full extension, ensuring every cut is clean.

Designed for Comfort and Reach

One of the main features of the HTA86 STIHL is its square-shaped telescopic shaft. Extending between 270 cm and 390 cm, its design prevents twisting and improves handling when the tool is at full length. With a maximum reach of 5 metres, high branches can be pruned while keeping both feet firmly on the ground. The handle has been ergonomically shaped to maximise the operator’s comfort and works equally well for right- and left-handed people. With a weight of just 4.6 kg excluding battery, and excellent overall balance, this STIHL HTA 86 battery powered pole saw ensures user fatigue is kept to a minimum.

Practical Features for Everyday Use

Starting the STIHL HTA 86 Pole Pruner is quick and straightforward. Unlock the safety, press the trigger, and the tool is ready for use. A self-resetting locking switch prevents accidental activation, while the ERGO lever makes continuous cutting simple without the need for repeated restarts. Refilling chain oil is just as easy thanks to a tool-free tank cap, and with its IPX4 rating, this machine is safe to use in wet conditions. The quick-release clamping sleeve allows for fast, tool-free adjustment of the shaft’s length, ensuring smooth transitions between different working heights.
