Burgon & Ball - RHS Telescopic Ratchet Lopper – Heavy-Duty Five-Stage Power Lopper

Burgon & Ball RHS Telescopic Ratchet Lopper – Heavy-Duty Five-Stage Power Lopper

The Burgon & Ball Telescopic Ratchet Lopper is the ultimate heavy-duty solution for the most demanding pruning tasks. Endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, this tool is specifically engineered to handle wood that standard loppers cannot. It features a sophisticated five-stage ratchet mechanism that effectively doubles your cutting power, allowing you to slice through substantial branches up to 4cm in diameter. Built with high-carbon steel and lightweight aluminium, it offers a professional-grade alternative to a pruning saw for thick, woody growth.

Best For: Gardeners tackling exceptionally tough, thick, or dead wood who require maximum mechanical advantage to reduce physical effort.

Key Features

• 100% Increased Cutting Power: The five-stage ratchet mechanism gradually builds pressure through multiple clicks, providing up to twice the cutting power of regular loppers.
• Heavy-Duty Capacity: Engineered to cut through branches up to 4cm in diameter, making it ideal for clearing old wood and thick, established growth without a saw.
• High-Carbon Steel Blades: Premium blades designed for maximum edge retention and durability against the friction of heavy-duty ratcheting.
• Extendable Reach: The telescopic handles feature an easy-to-use twist-lock mechanism, extending the length from 72cm up to 104cm for superior leverage and reach.
• Ergonomic Lightweight Design: Despite its power, the ultra-lightweight aluminium shafts and comfortable rubber grips ensure the tool remains manageable for overhead work.

Available options include:

✔ 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)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method

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.
