100% Professional Grade

ECHO only builds equipment to one standard – professional. We manufacture products to suit the environment in which they will be used and the job they will be doing, and each piece of equipment is as durable as we can make it. We test our products in punishing conditions to ensure that they are capable of whatever you demand from them. So even if you don’t use ECHO equipment professionally, the products you buy are already being used by people who do.

ECHO DHCA-2600: 56V Professional Long-Reach Articulating Hedge Trimmer

The ECHO DHCA-2600 is a professional-grade, long-reach cordless hedge trimmer designed to rival the performance of 25cc petrol models (such as the HCA-2620). Built on the 56 eFORCE battery platform, it features an articulating shaft and MAXOUT® technology, providing constant, high-torque power without the noise, fumes, or maintenance of a combustion engine.

With a total of 10 articulating positions and high-speed reciprocating blades, this tool is engineered for precision shaping of tall hedges and wide shrubs without the need for ladders.

Performance & Cutting Technology

  • Brushless Motor & MAXOUT®: Delivers petrol-matching power that stays consistent throughout the entire battery charge, preventing performance "drop-off" as the battery drains.

  • Articulating Gear Case: The blades pivot through 135°, allowing the operator to trim the tops of tall hedges or the base of shrubs at the perfect ergonomic angle.

  • RazorEdge® Blades: Features 21" (53cm) double-sided, triple-sharpened blades that execute 4,600 strokes per minute for clean, surgical cuts through dense foliage.

  • Triple-Speed Control: Offers multiple speed settings, including a variable throttle on the "High" setting for delicate precision work or maximum clearing power.

Ergonomics & Handling

  • Long-Reach Design: The extended shaft allows for safe operation on high hedges while maintaining a stable footing on the ground.

  • Offset Gear Case: Intelligently designed to provide optimal spacing between the operator and the cutting surface, improving visibility and balance.

  • Vibration Dampening: Equipped with a rubber over-molded grip to reduce hand fatigue and improve control during extended commercial or domestic use.

  • Shoulder Harness: Includes a supportive harness to distribute the tool's weight, making long trimming sessions significantly more comfortable.

Technical Specifications

  • Voltage: 56V

  • Blade Length: 53 cm / 21"

  • Blade Strokes: 4,600 spm

  • Articulation Range: 135° (10 positions)

  • Weight (with 5.0Ah Battery): 4.0 kg

  • Runtime (5.0Ah Battery): Up to 79 minutes

  • Charge Time: 78 minutes (with Rapid Charger)

Key Benefits

  • Petrol Performance, Cordless Convenience: Delivers the torque required for thick branches while operating at a fraction of the noise level of a petrol unit.

  • Zero Emissions: Ideal for use in eco-sensitive areas, urban gardens, and professional contracts with strict noise and pollution requirements.

  • Hassle-Free Operation: No pull-cords, no fuel mixing, and no air filters to clean. Simply click in the 56V battery and begin working.

  • Professional Build Quality: Engineered by ECHO to withstand the rigors of daily professional use, backed by advanced 56V battery technology.

Ideal For

  • Gardeners & Professionals needing extended reach for tall hedges
  • Landscapers & Contractors working in noise-sensitive areas
  • Eco-conscious users looking for a powerful, zero-emission alternative

Upgrade your hedge trimming experience with the Echo DHCA-2600 56V Long Reach Cordless Hedge Trimmer—powerful, precise, and built for the toughest jobs.
