Stihl HLA 86: Professional AP System 36V Cordless 50cm Telescopic Long-Reach Hedge Trimmer (Bare Tool)
The Stihl Professional-X HLA 86 elevates high-level hedge care into the clean, quiet era of premium battery technology, delivering exceptional balance and reduced operator fatigue. Specifically developed to withstand brutal, daily all-weather use by commercial landscaping crews, arborists, and estate managers, this telescoping pole trimmer eliminates the weight, fuel costs, and pull-start frustrations of traditional petrol engines. Featuring a balanced in-line battery slot and a robust structural layout, it allows operators to master towering conifers and expansive boundary growth while keeping their feet securely planted on the ground.
Quick-Release Telescopic Shaft & Multi-Angle Articulation
- Smooth Telescoping Reach (Up to 3.3m): Adapt your working length instantly on the fly. The rugged structural shaft features an integrated tool-free quick-release collar, allowing you to seamlessly extend your overall machine length up to 3.3 meters to safely clear tall hedge tops with zero workflow disruption.
- 115° Articulating Cutter Bar: Achieve absolute cutting versatility without any tools. The high-grade mechanical cutter bar can be pivoted smoothly through a 115° angle, clicking firmly into incremental slots to comfortably facilitate vertical face-shaping, flat head-height topping, and low-profile ground clearing.
- Surgical 50cm Double-Sided Blades: Fitted with industrial-grade, double-sided cutting knives engineered for exceptionally clean, uniform cutting patterns. The precision-ground teeth slice cleanly through thick, woody branches without tearing leaves, maintaining the long-term health of the hedge.
Intelligent EC Brushless Drive & Enhanced Tool Ergonomics
- Advanced Stihl EC Brushless Motor: Engineered for absolute longevity and zero mechanical maintenance. The electronically controlled EC motor acts as an intelligent drivetrain, permanently monitoring the active cutting load during sweeping motions to automatically adjust engine RPM through thick wood.
- Vastly Reduced Vibrations & Quiet Operation: Perfect for noise-sensitive urban settings. The ultra-quiet electric profile makes the HLA 86 the ultimate choice for hedge care around schools, hospitals, public parks, and residential zones where loud petrol machinery is restricted.
- Ultra-Compact 125cm Transport Fold: Move between job sites safely and compactly. For effortless transport and storage, the telescopic shaft collapses down to a length of just 125cm, protecting the blades from bending and dramatically saving space in your transit van or workshop.
The Stihl AP Cordless Professional Network
Built to endure rugged, daily outdoor use, the HLA 86 features a rubberized soft-grip handle section that provides exceptional steering control and dampens vibrations under heavy loads. The chassis comes ready with a heavy-duty tip protector to guard the blade tips when tracking near masonry or tarmac, along with a protective scabbard for transit. Stihl recommends pairing the machine with an AP 200 lithium-ion battery, which inserts seamlessly into the on-board slot to provide optimized balance and generous commercial runtimes.
Please Note: This listing is for the base HLA 86 Telescopic Long-Reach Hedge Trimmer unit only (bare tool) with an integrated scabbard blade guard and tip protector. 36V AP System batteries and chargers are sold separately, allowing you to utilize your existing fleet power assets.
