STIHL GTA 40 Battery Pruner Kit
SKU: GA04 011 6915




The STIHL GTA 40 battery-powered garden pruner delivers precise cutting for professionals in horticulture, landscaping, and arboriculture. Powered by two lithium-ion batteries from the STIHL AS System, it offers exceptional battery life and high cutting performance. Its compact design, low weight, and excellent balance enable efficient forward, backward, and plunge cuts, making it suitable for tree and shrub care, crown correction, and wood processing on sites. Ideal for trained arborists and tradespeople, the GTA 40 combines versatility and reliability for demanding pruning tasks.
The STIHL GTA 40 battery garden pruner features a powerful EC engine paired with the STIHL 1/4" PM3 saw chain for clean, efficient cutting. Its speed-dependent automatic chain lubrication ensures consistent performance and reduced maintenance.

This combination of advanced engineering and thoughtful design makes the GTA 40 ideal for professional pruning tasks requiring accuracy and ease of use.
The STIHL GTA 40 battery garden pruner is equipped with a claw-shaped deflector that clearly separates the upper grip from the cutting attachment, enhancing control and safety. It features a mechanical operating system with rocker switches on both sides and variable chain speed for tailored cutting performance. The sprocket cover includes side-mounted chain tensioning for easy maintenance, while an LED charge-level indicator keeps you informed of battery status. Steel hook-in eyelets on both sides allow for secure attachment of fall protection, making the GTA 40 ideal for safe use in treetop maintenance and other demanding applications.
The STIHL GTA 40 battery garden pruner is engineered for professional use in all weather conditions, featuring certified splashproof protection according to IPX4 standards. This ensures reliable operation even in adverse weather, backed by rigorous internal testing.
