18/36V HTAD 1845 Long Reach Hedge Trimmer (Power Unit) by AL-KO

AL-KO Comfort HTA 1845: 45cm 18V/36V Cordless Telescopic Pole Hedge Trimmer (Bare Tool)

The AL-KO Comfort HTA 1845 brings exceptional cutting precision to high canopy maintenance, completely removing the physical fatigue and traditional safety hazards of tall hedge care. Purpose-built for homeowners managing substantial boundary lines, established garden conifers, and sprawling privacy screens, this cordless pole trimmer entirely does away with pull-start struggles, mixing two-stroke fuel, or trailing dangerous extension leads across damp lawns. Exceptionally lightweight and perfectly counterbalanced, it pulls the mechanical leverage away from your shoulders and back, giving you total, steady control over every sweep.

Extendable Telescopic Reach & Multi-Angle Articulating Cutting Head

  • Tool-Less Telescopic Shaft Adjustment (210cm – 260cm): Customize your working length instantly to match the layout of your garden. The rigid aluminum shaft extends smoothly via a user-friendly locking collar, providing a safe, ground-stabilized vertical working reach of up to 3.5 meters without ever needing a ladder.
  • 8-Position Pivot Adjustment Joint: Navigate tricky overhead angles and tight vertical corners effortlessly. The cutting head features an articulating joint that clicks securely across 8 distinct angles, letting you flip the blades perfectly flat for horizontal top-shaping or square it off for low-fatigue side trimming.
  • Space-Saving Split-Shaft Coupling: Reclaim vital storage space in your garden shed or garage. The telescopic pole features a robust, central split-shaft quick-release system, allowing you to break the trimmer down into two compact sections for incredibly easy transport in a car boot or neat storage on a shelf.

Laser-Cut Precision Blades & Balanced Handling Comfort

  • 45cm Counter-Rotating Safety Blades: Achieve a crisp, healthy finish on every single pass. The double-sided 45cm cutting teeth utilize a continuous counter-rotating slicing action, minimizing structural branch vibration to deliver clean, scissor-like clips without leaf browning or twig tearing.
  • 15mm Branch Cutting Capacity: Glide smoothly through dense seasonal growth. The optimized tooth geometry features a 15mm blade gap, providing the necessary mechanical bite to cleanly ingest and slice through leafy stems, box hedges, and woody boundary twigs without jamming or binding.
  • Ultra-Lightweight 3.1kg Ergonomic Frame: Maximize your cutting stamina. Weighing just 3.1kg, the motor housing and handle grips are balanced coaxially down the shaft, pulling the physical center of gravity close to the operator's body to prevent arm fatigue during overhead trimming tasks.

The AL-KO 18V / 36V Dual-Voltage Battery Advantage

As a premium bare tool model within the AL-KO cordless family, the HTA 1845 integrates seamlessly into your existing home and garden tool kit. Operating on AL-KO’s intelligent dual-voltage cell system, this tool draws power from interchangeable lithium-ion batteries that deliver fade-free power with zero memory effect or self-discharge. Built for quiet, neighbor-friendly residential use, it offers a highly efficient, emission-free alternative to small petrol motors and is backed by a comprehensive 2-year manufacturer warranty.

Please Note: This listing is for the base AL-KO Comfort HTA 1845 Telescopic Pole Hedge Trimmer power unit only (bare tool), including a 45cm articulating blade assembly and protective scabbard. 18V/36V lithium-ion batteries and charging docks are sold separately.
