The STIHL HTA 135 is the most powerful telescopic cordless pole pruner in the STIHL AP battery range, built for professionals tackling demanding tree maintenance, orchard management, and civic landscaping. A brushless EC motor delivers approximately 1.10 kW of output through a square-section telescopic shaft extending from 285 cm to 405 cm, paired with a 30 cm bar and ⅜" P saw chain for cutting branches up to approximately 20 cm in diameter. In stock at Gustharts as an authorised STIHL dealer, with fast UK delivery.
Key Features
- Approximately 1.10 kW EC Brushless Motor – Rivals STIHL petrol pole pruner output in a cordless package.
- Telescopic Reach: 285–405 cm – Safe ground-level access to branches up to approximately 5 m high without a ladder.
- Square-Section Telescopic Shaft – Extraordinary rigidity for accurate cuts at full extension.
- Lightweight Magnesium Gearhead – Durable and light, reducing operator fatigue on long shifts.
- 30 cm Bar with ⅜" P Saw Chain – Fast, precise, low-vibration cutting performance.
- Branch Hook & Foot Mount – Simplifies debris clearance and ground-resting stability.
- IPX4 Weather Resistance – Reliable in damp UK conditions.
- Constant Power Electronics – Full cutting performance maintained throughout battery life.
- Smart Connector Ready – Mounting point for STIHL Smart Connector 2 A.
- Side-Access Chain Tensioning & Tool-Free Oil Cap – Streamlined on-site servicing.
Technical Specifications
Why Choose the STIHL HTA 135?
As the most powerful telescopic model in the AP pole pruner family, the HTA 135 is the natural choice when both reach and cutting power are priorities. The square-section shaft maintains rigidity at full extension better than round-tube designs — important when you need accurate cuts 4+ metres up. Compared to the HTA 160, the HTA 135 is telescopic rather than fixed-length, giving greater flexibility for varied tree heights on the same job. Recommended battery is the AP 300 S, which balances runtime (up to 70 minutes) and weight well for a day's pruning work.
Complete Your Kit
- Replacement Chainsaw Chains – ⅜" P chains compatible with the HTA 135
- AP System Batteries & Chargers – AP 300 S recommended; AP 500 S for extended sessions
- Chainsaw PPE – helmet, gloves and chainsaw trousers for ground pruning work
- Chain Sharpening Tools – keep your saw chain performing between replacements
FAQs
What is the difference between the HTA 135 and HTA 160?
The HTA 135 is telescopic (285–405 cm) and offers approximately 1.10 kW output. The HTA 160 is also telescopic at the same reach but has a higher 1.4 kW power rating and a slightly heavier magnesium transmission for increased torque on larger branches.
Do I need a ladder to use the HTA 135?
No — at full extension of 405 cm, the HTA 135 can safely reach branches approximately 5 m above ground level from a standing position.
Does the HTA 135 come with a battery and charger?
No — it is sold as a body-only tool. AP System batteries and chargers are available separately at Gustharts.
What is the recommended battery for the HTA 135?
STIHL recommend the AP 300 S for the best balance of runtime and weight. The AP 500 S extends runtime further but adds weight to the tool.
Can the HTA 135 cut thick branches?
Yes — the 30 cm bar and ⅜" P chain comfortably handles branches up to approximately 20 cm in diameter.
