Why choose the STIHL HLA 150 B?

Extended reach for tall hedges

The telescopic shaft can be adjusted between approximately 207 cm and 332 cm. This allows operators to reach tall hedge tops and work across deep hedges while remaining on the ground, reducing the need to continually reposition ladders or platforms.

145° adjustable cutting head

The cutter bar can be adjusted through 145° to suit horizontal, vertical and overhead cutting. It can also be folded into a compact transport position when the machine is being carried or stored.

Professional 60 cm cutting blade

The 60 cm double-sided blade covers more hedge with each pass. Its 34 mm tooth spacing is suited to substantial hedge growth, although very thick, hard or woody branches should be removed with an appropriate pruning saw or chainsaw rather than forced through the hedge-trimmer blade.

Three selectable cutting speeds

Choose between 3,200, 3,600 and 4,000 strokes per minute to match the machine’s performance to the hedge and the job. Lower settings can help conserve battery energy during lighter maintenance, while the highest setting provides faster cutting for denser growth.

STIHL AP battery power

The HLA 150 uses STIHL’s professional 36 V AP battery platform. This provides strong cordless performance without petrol, pull-starting or exhaust fumes during operation. The battery can also be shared with many other compatible tools in the STIHL AP System.

Designed for professional management

An integrated connection point supports STIHL connected fleet-management functionality when used with the relevant STIHL system. This can help professional operators monitor tool information and manage equipment across a working fleet.

STIHL HLA 150 B specifications

Specifications and working times are manufacturer figures and may vary according to the battery, cutting speed, hedge condition, temperature and operating technique.

Which battery should I use with the STIHL HLA 150?

STIHL recommends the STIHL AP 30 battery for the HLA 150. It provides up to approximately 107 minutes of working time under published test conditions and offers a suitable balance between runtime and carrying weight.

The STIHL AP 300 S battery is also compatible and provides up to approximately 112 minutes under published test conditions. Actual runtime will vary according to cutting speed, hedge density, technique and environmental conditions.

A compatible charger is required. View the available STIHL battery chargers before ordering if you do not already own one.

Who is the STIHL HLA 150 designed for?

The HLA 150 is particularly well suited to:

• professional landscapers and grounds-maintenance teams;
• estates, schools, parks and commercial grounds;
• owners of large gardens with tall or deep hedges;
• operators who want maximum cordless reach without using a petrol engine;
• existing STIHL AP System users who already own compatible batteries and chargers.

Its extended shaft and professional construction make it more substantial than a compact domestic hedge trimmer. For normal waist-height hedges or close-range trimming, a conventional model such as the STIHL HSA 100 cordless hedge trimmer may be easier to manoeuvre.

STIHL HLA 150 cordless or STIHL HL 94 petrol?

Choose the HLA 150 when you want professional telescopic reach, low routine maintenance and compatibility with STIHL AP batteries. It is particularly useful in noise-sensitive locations and produces no exhaust fumes while it is being used.

Operators who prefer petrol power or who work for long periods away from charging facilities may also consider the STIHL HL 94 C-E petrol long-reach hedge trimmer.

You can compare further models in our long-reach hedge-trimmer range.

Frequently asked questions

Does the STIHL HLA 150 include a battery and charger?

No. This product is supplied as the HLA 150 B tool only. A compatible STIHL AP battery and charger must be purchased separately unless you already own them.

How long is the STIHL HLA 150?

The telescopic shaft adjusts from approximately 207 cm to 332 cm. Maximum practical working reach is approximately 4.3 metres, depending on the height and stance of the operator.

How long does the STIHL HLA 150 battery last?

Published working time is up to approximately 107 minutes with the recommended AP 30 battery and approximately 112 minutes with the AP 300 S. Runtime varies according to the selected speed, hedge density, battery condition, temperature and operating technique.

Can the HLA 150 cut 34 mm branches?

The blade has 34 mm tooth spacing, but this should not be interpreted as a guaranteed branch-cutting diameter. Cutting ability depends on the species, moisture level and hardness of the growth. Thick, mature woody branches should be pruned separately rather than forced through the blade.

Can the cutting head be angled?

Yes. The cutter bar can be adjusted through 145° for hedge sides, tops and overhead work. It also folds into a compact transport position.

Can the STIHL HLA 150 be used in wet weather?

The machine has an IPX4 splash-water protection rating. It should still be used, maintained and stored in accordance with the STIHL instruction manual and should not be treated as waterproof or submerged.
