About the STIHL HT 135 Petrol Pole Pruner
STIHL HT 135 Petrol Pole Pruner: A New Standard in Professional Pole Pruning
For arborists, landscapers, and landowners who demand more from their equipment, the STIHL HT 135 Petrol Pole Pruner represents the pinnacle of performance. As the most powerful petrol pole saw in the STIHL range, it is designed to handle challenging pruning, storm clearance, and tree maintenance with unbeatable efficiency. Blending strength, precision, and comfort, the HT 135 STIHL pole saw really is the ultimate choice for pruning at height.
Exceptional 4-MIX Engine Power
The STIHL pole saw HT 135 is fitted with a proven 4-MIX® engine. This innovative unit delivers impressive torque while running on a convenient petrol and oil mix, removing the need for a separate lubrication circuit. With 36.3 cm³ displacement and an output of 1.4 kW (1.9 hp), the HT135 STIHL produces formidable cutting power while remaining fully compliant with European Stage V emissions regulations. Automatic decompression, combined with a manual fuel pump, ensures the tool starts with ease, so you can focus on the task in hand.
The Benefits of a Lightweight Magnesium Gearbox
Although the STIHL 135 pole saw offers outstanding cutting strength, it remains impressively easy to handle. This is partly thanks to a specially designed magnesium gearbox that keeps weight low without compromising durability. By reducing operator strain during extended use, this gearbox allows professionals to work longer hours more efficiently.
Designed for Operator Comfort
The STIHL HT 135 pole pruner is certainly built with long working days in mind. STIHL’s integrated anti-vibration system reduces the impact of engine vibrations, making the tool far more comfortable to handle. Vibration levels are recorded at 4.3 m/s² on the left and 4.8 m/s² on the right, keeping operation smooth. At just 7.9 kg (without fuel), this machine balances strength with portability. The multi-function handle allows all controls to be managed with one hand, whether you are left- or right-handed, while a padded shoulder strap further enhances stability. For even greater support, you can pair this tool with STIHL’s RTS Harness, which is available to buy separately.
Telescopic Reach and High Cutting Precision
One of the standout features of the HT 135 STIHL pole saw is its telescopic shaft, which adjusts quickly without the need for tools. Extending from 270 cm to 390 cm, it allows branches up to 5 metres high to be trimmed safely from ground level. The rigid square-profile design offers superb stability, ensuring accurate positioning even at maximum extension. A 30 cm (12-inch) guide bar with ¼-inch P chain delivers clean, efficient cuts (the pruner is also compatible with a 3/8-inch P chain for alternative applications). Lateral chip ejection prevents blockages during cutting, while a fixed branch hook allows safe removal of loose material from high up in the canopy.
