ARS Hi Reach Lopper 180cm - 45mm Cutting Capacity - Professional Long Reach Bypass Lopper for High Branches & Dense Shrubs

Pruning high-altitude branches or reaching into the center of dense, thorny shrubs often requires a tool that offers both extreme reach and surgical precision. The ARS Hi Reach Lopper 180cm is an innovative Japanese-made solution designed to eliminate the struggle of traditional pulley-style loppers. Featuring an integrated cutting mechanism and a 180° revolving arm, this lightweight tool allows you to set precise cutting angles and access tight spots with ease, ensuring your high-reach pruning is safe, fast, and healthy for your plants.

Best For The commercial orchardist, landscaper, or home gardener needing a lightweight, high-leverage tool to prune high branches and dense bushes up to 45mm thick without using ladders or bulky pulley systems.

Key Features

• Integrated Internal Cutting Mechanism: Unlike traditional long-reach loppers that use external ropes and pulleys, this design features an integrated internal rod system that prevents snagging in dense foliage and allows for operation in extremely tight architectural spaces.

• 180° Revolving Aluminum Arm: The bypass cutting head is mounted on a revolving arm that can be locked at various angles with a simple thumb screw, providing the flexibility to achieve the perfect cutting angle on every branch regardless of its orientation.

• Marquench Hardened High-Carbon Steel: Forged from legendary Japanese steel and Marquench hardened, the blades provide exceptional edge retention and toughness, ensuring they remain razor-sharp and reliable through thousands of heavy-duty cuts.

• Non-Stick Fluorocarbon Coating: The blades are finished with a specialized non-stick coating to actively resist rust and prevent sticky sap buildup, ensuring a smooth, low-friction cutting action and effortless cleaning after use.

• Lightweight High-Leverage Design: Constructed from high-strength aluminum, the 1.8m pole is remarkably light (1.69kg), minimizing shoulder and back fatigue during prolonged overhead work while providing the massive leverage needed for branches up to 45mm.

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).

• 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.
