Burgon & Ball - RHS Telescopic Anvil Lopper – Compound Action Dead Wood Pruner

Burgon & Ball RHS Telescopic Anvil Lopper – Compound Action Dead Wood Pruner

The Burgon & Ball Telescopic Anvil Lopper is a specialized powerhouse designed for the toughest pruning tasks involving hard, seasoned, or dead wood. Endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, this lopper utilizes an anvil cutting action—where the blade meets a flat metal block—to crush and slice through woody material that would damage standard bypass blades. With a unique compound action and lightweight telescopic handles, it provides a high-leverage solution for heavy-duty garden maintenance.

Best For: Gardeners needing to clear dead wood, old growth, or seasoned branches where maximum crushing power is more important than a clean "scissor" cut.

Key Features

• 50% More Cutting Power: The unique compound action mechanism significantly multiplies the force you apply, making it easy to tackle thick, resistant wood with half the effort of standard loppers.
• Anvil Cutting Action: Specifically designed for hard and dead wood, the blade closes onto a flat anvil to slice through material that is too tough for a bypass lopper to manage.
• One-Handed Telescopic Adjustment: The patented twist-lock mechanism is so intuitive it can be operated one-handed, extending the length from 68cm up to 100cm.
• Ultra-Lightweight Aluminium Shafts: Provides the structural strength required for heavy-duty work while keeping the tool light enough for overhead pruning without causing arm fatigue.
• Ergonomic Comfort: Features comfortable rubber grip handles that ensure a secure, non-slip hold and absorb shock during the cutting process.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Since oversized items require special handling, we may need to provide a custom freight quote for your order and will contact you with an updated shipping rate.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup - default method
✔ Direct delivery - requires forklift on site
✔ Direct delivery with tailgate lift truck (extra fees apply)
✔ 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
• Because of the forklift requirement, delivery to the nearest depot is the default option and will be the method used unless you contact us to request otherwise.

Business Delivery:

• Business delivery is available for commercial customers only
• If you select business delivery and your products are bulky, it is your responsibility to ensure you have appropriate equipment (including forklifts) to unload products from the delivery truck
• If you select business delivery and you are not a business, you risk your product not being delivered and may incur additional fees to retrieve your order
• Business delivery customers must provide a valid business address and contact information

Let us know your preference, and we'll arrange the best solution for you!

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
