**HTA 160 Battery Pole Pruner: With telescopic shaft for efficient professional use in tree care**

The STIHL HTA 160 battery pole pruner efficiently supports **professionals in tree care, local authorities and agriculture and forestry** **when pruning trees, removing dead wood and breakage caused by storms**.
The **powerful EC motor** of the STIHL HTA 160 is powered by lithium-ion batteries from the**STIHL AP System.** The lightweight, **robust magnesium transmission** supports easy **manoeuvring**. You can use the pole pruner to **cut branches and trees up to 20 cm in diameter**. Thanks to the **professional telescopic shaft**with a **particularly rigid square profile**, the **desired overall length of the HTA 160 can be easily adjusted up to 405 cm** with quick adjustment. This enables **exact positioning** and **precise cutting even in higher areas of trees**. You can even work **up to a height of around 5 m** **for thinning out treetops**. The HTA 160 can be used with STIHL 3/8" P saw chains, such as the STIHL 3/8" P Picco Micro 3 (PM3) chain or with 1/4" P-STIHL saw chains, such as the 1/4" P Picco Micro 3 (PM3). No ear protection is required with 1/4" STIHL saw chains, so you can also work **in noise-sensitive areas**.
A **robust branch hook** cast onto the **compact cutting head** makes it easier to grasp and remove loose cuttings. The sprocket cover is equipped with a **direction guide** for precise positioning and **lateral chip ejection**. Thanks to the **ergonomically optimised control handle** with LED display, you have all the controls of the STIHL HTA 160 conveniently at hand. The standard **STIHL protective foot** protects the **motor housing of the pole pruner from contact with the ground**. The easy-to-clean air filter with metal mesh supports optimal motor cooling and as such **a long service life** for your STIHL HTA 160. The optionally available STIHL RTS harness allows you to take the strain off your back while maintaining a high level of freedom of movement for longer periods of work.
The STIHL HTA 160 has a **total length of 285 cm to 405 cm**.
All battery power tools within the **STIHL AP system** have been designed for professional users and daily work, even in adverse weather conditions. With that in mind **they are certified as splashproof**. The effectiveness of this is also verified through demanding internal tests. The splashwater test is aligned with the IPX4 standard, among others.
