Product information & specifications
STIHL HLA 40 Cordless Long-Reach Hedge Trimmer
The STIHL HLA 40 is a compact, lightweight and highly versatile long-reach hedge trimmer designed for maintaining tall hedges, shrubs and bushes around the garden. As the first long-reach trimmer in the AS System, it delivers excellent performance while remaining easy to handle.
This model is supplied as tool only — without battery or charger. If you require a complete set, please ensure you select the correct option before adding to your basket.
Powered by the interchangeable AS 2 lithium-ion battery, the HLA 40 shares compatibility with other STIHL AS System tools including garden pruners, grass trimmers, secateurs and blowers. With a telescopic shaft extending up to 2.6 metres, plus a fully adjustable cutter bar, it's ideal for safely trimming tall hedges from ground level.
At just 3.7kg, the HLA 40 is exceptionally lightweight. The soft-grip handle, tool-free telescopic adjustment and quick-fit shoulder strap make extended work more comfortable. Laser-cut, diamond-ground blades provide clean, precise cutting, while the adjustable head allows angles from -45° to +70° for trimming the tops and sides of hedges with ease.
For transport and storage, the tool splits into two parts, reducing the length from 260cm to just 115cm. A robust tip protector safeguards the blade when working near walls or the ground.
Working time with AS 2 battery: up to 40 minutes.
Key Features & Benefits
- Tool-only model (battery & charger sold separately)
- Telescopic reach: 115-260cm
- Laser-cut, diamond-ground 45cm blade
- Adjustable cutter bar (-45° to +70°)
- Soft-grip handle for comfort and control
- Split-shaft design for compact storage and easy transport
- Lightweight at just 3.7kg
- Tip protector for safer close-quarters trimming

- Tool-free telescopic adjustment using a twist-secured clamping sleeve
- Balanced battery position reduces tilting torque for fatigue-free work
- LED charge-level indicator for at-a-glance battery capacity checks
- Double-stroke, double-sided blade for smooth, low-vibration cutting on vertical, horizontal and angled surfaces
