DESCRIPTION

The HLA 140 K is a powerful cordless long-reach hedge trimmer from STIHL, designed with professional landscapers and gardeners in mind. This short-shaft variation of the HLA 140 is ideal for pruning, trimming and maintenance work on hedges, shrubs, bushes, in road maintenance and in local authority work. It’s lightweight, has low noise output and low vibrations – making it perfect for long-periods of work throughout the day in noise-sensitive environments. 

Powered by a 36 V lithium-ion battery, it has excellent balance which provides less fatigue during operation. An ergonomic control handle lets the user control the speed of the cutter blade during use, and thanks to the EC motor, the blades are capable of rapid acceleration up to a range leading 4000 rpm to help you get the best cutting performance. There are 3 rpm levels to choose from – 3,200, 3,600 and 4000 rpm. The tool can be used by both left- and right-handed users comfortably and efficiently too. 

The short-shaft hedge trimmer has a length of 214 cm (50 cm less than the HLA 140), which makes it perfect for cutting tall and wide hedges. The 60 cm/24” laser-cut double-sided, double-edged, diamond ground blades are friction-optimised, meaning they have high-cutting performance and help to extend the length of the battery during use. The cutter head can be adjusted by up to 145°, letting you tackle all angles of hedges. And the blades provide a clean cutting pattern thanks to the high acceleration of the EC motor. Should the cutters get jammed on a thicker branch, the anti-lock feature reverses the blade movement when you release the trigger, helping you remove the cutters. 

The head of the hedge trimmer can be folded flat for easy transport (reducing the total length to 158 cm) which makes it easy to transport the tool for those working in garden maintenance businesses. Plus, the tool is IPX4 rated, so it can be used in rain and wet conditions too. 

When used with the recommended AP 30 battery, the HLA 140 K has a working time of up to 125 minutes. What’s more, this battery provides perfect balance when used, making work even more comfortable!

Please note that this model is only available as a tool only without battery and charger. If you do not already have a battery or charger, please make sure  you add these to your basket.

Extend your professional warranty from 1 to 2 years with the purchase of a STIHL Smart Connector and this product. Balmers GM will register your extended warranty on the STIHL warranty database at point of purchase.
