Product information & specifications
STIHL HLA 86 Cordless Long-Reach Hedge Trimmer - AP System
The STIHL HLA 86 is a high-reach, battery powered hedge trimmer designed for professionals who need to maintain tall, wide hedges, high shrubs, or top growth without the fuss of ladders. Belonging to STIHL's AP System, it delivers strong, efficient performance, with excellent balance, and the reach you need thanks to its telescopic shaft and adjustable cutter head.
Key Features
- Telescopic Shaft (260-330 cm): Extends for tall hedges, retracts for easier transport.
- Adjustable Cutter Head ±115°: For top, side, or ground-level cuts with ease.
- 50 cm Double-Sided Blade: Clean, precise cutting both ways.
- EC Motor with Variable Speed & Load Monitoring: Efficient power, less energy waste.
- Good Battery Run Time: Up to 144 minutes on AP 200 S, up to 223 minutes on AP 300 S, depending on usage.
- Lightweight & Balanced (4.8 kg without battery): Reduced fatigue when working overhead or extended heights.

Why Choose the STIHL HLA 86?
The telescopic shaft plus 115° adjustable head is what sets the HLA 86 apart from fixed-length long-reach trimmers — it genuinely extends to 330cm for tall hedges, then retracts to 260cm for easier transport, all while staying a manageable 4.8kg without the battery. The EC motor's load monitoring also means it draws only what the cut requires, which is where the extended runtime figures (up to 223 minutes on an AP 300 S) come from.
