About the STIHL RLA 240 Cordless Scarifier (Shell Only)
To scarify or dethatch a small, irregularly shaped lawn, up to 250 m2 in size, the STIHL RLA 240 is a great choice of garden machine. And because this cordless scarifier is powered by a 36 v lithium-ion battery, it produces zero emissions and gives you complete freedom of movement, without the hassle of electrical leads.
(Please be advised that as this product is the ‘shell only’, it does not include a battery or charger, both of which can be purchased from us separately.)
Overview of the STIHL RLA 240 Cordless Scarifier
Part of STIHL’s AK System of cordless power tools, the STIHL RLA 240 Cordless Lawn Scarifier comes with fixed scarifying blades (for aerating the soil) and a spring tine roller attachment (for combing the thatch out of the lawn). It features a power rating of 900 w and working width of 34 cm (13.4 inches), so provides outstanding manoeuvrability in confined spaces.
This scarifier’s guaranteed sound power level is 94 dB(A), with a sound pressure level at the operating position of just 77 dB(A), making the RLA 240 an excellent choice of scarifier for noise sensitive areas.
Sturdy Housing
With a weight of 14 kg (excluding battery), this STIHL cordless scarifier is built with polymer housing, which is light in weight but very strong and durable. It provides the engine with effective protection from accidental impacts, various types of spillage and UV rays.
High-Traction Wheels
The wheels are high quality too. They provide superb levels of both stability and traction, so you remain in complete control of the machine as you effortlessly guide it around the lawn.
The Spring Tine Roller Attachment
As mentioned above, the RLA 240 Cordless Lawn Scarifier is supplied with a spring tine roller attachment. This allows you to comb the moss and thatch from the surface of your lawn, without making cuts in the soil. By following a few straightforward steps, it’s quick and easy to install.
Adjustable Working Depth
The working height of the scarifier’s attachments can be adjusted from 7.5 mm above ground level to 9.5 mm below the surface of the soil, depending on your lawncare requirements.
The Advantage of STIHL’s Constant Power
Many cordless power tools’ performance can deteriorate as the battery discharges, but not this scarifier! That’s because STIHL’s intelligent electronics ensure a consistently high level of power until the battery is fully depleted.
A Spacious Collector Box
As the STIHL Scarifier RLA 240 comes with a generous 50-litre collector box, you can spend more time scarifying and less time having to empty the box’s contents.
Transport and Storage
The STIHL RLA 240 Battery Scarifier includes two practical handles, which are positioned over the centre of the unit. They allow you to carry the scarifier in an upright position, to and from its place of storage, avoiding awkward tilting causing damage to the machine.
When not in use, the scarifier’s handlebar can be folded down to save on storage space.
Recommended Battery and Charger
STIHL recommends using one of their AK 20 batteries to power this cordless scarifier. This should provide sufficient power for the machine to scarify a lawn up to 250 m2 in size on a single charge.
The recommended AL 101 charger will restore a STIHL AK 20 battery to full power (from 0 – 100 %) in 180 minutes.
You can purchase both battery and charger from us separately.
The STIHL Warranty
STIHL is one of the world’s longest established and most prestigious manufacturers of outdoor power equipment, so it’s a name you can trust if you’re buying a cordless scarifier.
For your added peace of mind, the STIHL RLA 240 Scarifier (Shell Only) is backed by an excellent manufacturer’s 2-year domestic warranty.

Great company to deal with well informed all the time on the progress from being packed to delivering used it on my lawn the best machine I’ve seen for removing moss another excellent machine from Sthil
Sacha –
Excellent product. Had hired one previously so knew it did the job. Ideal for our garden of about 350m2. Used as a rake and filled 2 bulk bags. I don’t tend to use the basket as it fills too quickly. Just go over with the mower to pick up. Got the ak30 battery, needs charging once.
Jerry –
Bought a AK30 battery which gives a good life. The machine is very easy to use and makes it easy to go over a lawn. Might have to purchase another battery when I use this with a larger lawn in September

J Webb –
Used it on my lawn recently and the result was exactly what I wanted. I only have AK 20 batteries and it would probably be sensible to invest in AK 30 for a large lawn. For obvious reasons, the scarified is pretty heavy on battery usage. A great machine- well worth the money.
customer –
Great machine, not used the aerator, too dry but the thatch and moss have nearly gone.
The battery life a little short for my lawn, if you can get two.
