ARS Deep Hook Bypass Loppers - 482mm to 778mm Lengths - Heavy-Duty Tool for Vineyard, Orchard & Tree Use

For commercial growers and arborists, managing high-volume pruning in vineyards, orchards, and gardens demands a tool that delivers uncompromising strength and reduced fatigue. The ARS Deep Hook Bypass Loppers are top-of-the-range, heavy-duty pruners engineered with precision-ground, high-carbon steel blades and a deep hook design to deliver clean cuts, maximize productivity, and minimize effort on branches up to 38mm thick.

Best For The commercial grower, arborist, or dedicated home gardener requiring an ultra-durable, lightweight, and high-capacity bypass lopper for cutting thick, live branches in orchards, vineyards, and landscaping.

Key Features

• Deep Hook & Guide Bank Design: The counter blade's unique deep hook design grips the branch securely, while a special guide bank prevents the blade from biting askew into the branch, guaranteeing a clean, professional cut every time.

• Maximized Cutting Capacity: Choose from three sizes to achieve a maximum cutting diameter of 34mm (Small) up to 38mm (Large), handling most branches too thick for secateurs.

• Advanced Blade Durability: Precision-ground blades are made from high-carbon steel with a non-stick coating, ensuring the edge lasts longer and is easy to clean of sap and residue. Blades are also replaceable and re-sharpenable.

• Lightweight Aluminum Handles: Durable yet lightweight tubular aluminum handles reduce overall weight and fatigue during frequent, all-day use while maintaining the necessary strength for heavy leverage.

• Heavy-Duty Shock Absorption: Equipped with robust heavy-duty shock absorbers, the loppers take the brunt of the cutting force, minimizing jarring, and protecting the user's arms and shoulders for comfortable, hassle-free use.

• Low-Friction Counter Blade: The counter blade is fully forged and stepped to minimize friction and clogging, ensuring a smooth, continuous cutting action, even on sappy wood.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.
