Product description
The STIHL HTA 160 is designed for professional users in arboriculture, fruit growing, local authorities, agriculture and forestry who want to combine high cutting performance with variable reach. With a 30 cm bar, 1.40 kW output and a professional telescopic shaft from 285 cm to 405 cm, it is suitable for limbing, removing deadwood, clearing storm damage and pruning fruit trees.
Common problems
For demanding limbing at height, less powerful pole pruners often reach their limits:
- Lower power classes struggle with branches up to 20 cm in diameter.
- Without weather protection, outdoor work in changeable weather is hard to plan.
- Lack of digital connectivity makes managing several machines in a fleet more difficult.
Solution
The STIHL HTA 160 tackles this with 1.40 kW output for branches up to 20 cm in diameter, IPX4 splash protection for work in the rain and preparation for the Smart Connector 2 A for digital equipment management in a professional fleet.
