Features
The pictures shown are sample photos. The actual appearance of the equipment features and their specific attachment to the product may differ from the pictorial representations, but will have the same functionality.
CONSTANT POWER, REGARDLESS OF BATTERY CHARGE STATUS. With other brands of battery tools, the performance usually decreases during work as the battery discharges. This is not the case with STIHL cordless power tools with CONSTANT POWER. Thanks to the intelligent electronics, your STIHL power tool works with consistently high power.
FOR SIMPLE AND SECURE RE-TENSIONING. Side-mounted chain tensioning allows for protected, easy and quick chain tensioning and replacement. The tensioning screw is inserted laterally through the sprocket cover.
MAKES FILL-LEVEL MONITORING EASY. With the transparent oil tank, you can easily and quickly check the fill level of the chain oil. This means that you always know when you need to add chain oil for efficient work over long periods.
OPTIMAL ENGINE COOLING. The air filter with fine metal mesh cleans the air and in this way ensures optimum engine cooling. As it is itself easy to clean, it also offers a long service life.
LOW-MAINTENANCE AND EFFICIENT. Thanks to its compact design, low weight and high efficiency, the brushless motor enables you to work in an energy efficient manner. This engine also has a long service life.
SPLASHWATER PROTECTION. The IPX protection classes define the moisture protection of electrical or electronic devices. The moisture protection test is defined in different stages. IPX4 certifies protection against splashwater from all sides.
HTA 160 battery pole pruner: With telescopic shaft for efficient professional use in tree care
The STIHL HTA 160 battery-powered pole pruner is designed for professional arborists, orchard operators, municipalities, and agricultural and forestry professionals who need an efficient solution for pruning trees, removing deadwood and storm-damaged limbs, and maintaining fruit trees.
The powerful brushless motor is powered by lithium-ion batteries from the STIHL ALLPRO system. A lightweight yet durable magnesium gearbox provides excellent maneuverability and control. The HTA 160 can cut branches and small trees up to 8 inches in diameter.
Featuring a professional telescoping shaft with a rigid square-profile design and quick-adjustment mechanism, the HTA 160 can be easily extended to an overall length of up to 13 ft. 3 in. This allows for accurate positioning and precise cuts high in the canopy. Users can perform crown thinning and pruning at heights of approximately 16.5 ft. without compromising control.
The HTA 160 is compatible with STIHL 3/8" P saw chains, such as the STIHL 3/8" P Picco Micro 3 (PM3), as well as 1/4" P STIHL saw chains, including the 1/4" P Picco Micro 3 (PM3). When equipped with a 1/4" STIHL saw chain, hearing protection is not required, making the tool especially well-suited for use in noise-sensitive areas.
A variable-speed trigger provides excellent cutting control, while the electronic unlocking feature remains active for five seconds, helping minimize interruptions during repositioning and reducing the need for repeated unlocking.
A durable branch hook integrated into the compact cutting head makes it easier to grab and remove cut branches. The chain sprocket cover includes a directional guide for precise placement and side chip ejection. An easily accessible, heavy-duty side chain tensioning system allows for quick and accurate chain adjustments.
All operating controls are conveniently located on the ergonomically optimized handle, which features a digital control interface, LED display.
A protective base is included as standard equipment to help prevent the motor housing from contacting the ground. The easy-to-clean metal mesh air filter promotes optimal motor cooling and contributes to long service life.
The STIHL HTA 160 features an adjustable overall length ranging from 9 ft. 4 in. to 13 ft. 3 in.
Refer to STIHL's battery runtime and charging-time guide to determine expected operating times, charging durations, recommended battery options, and compatible battery models for the HTA 160.
The HTA 160 is IPX4-rated, meaning it is splash-resistant.
Note: STIHL AP System tools can be operated using both STIHL ALLPRO batteries and STIHL AP batteries.
