Burgon & Ball - Telescopic Bypass Lopper – RHS Endorsed Compound Action Pruner

Burgon & Ball Telescopic Bypass Lopper – RHS Endorsed Compound Action Pruner

The Burgon & Ball Telescopic Bypass Lopper is an elite-tier pruning tool, officially endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society. Engineered for versatility and power, this lopper features a unique compound action mechanism that provides up to 50% more cutting force than standard models. With ultra-lightweight aluminium shafts that extend up to 100cm, it allows for effortless overhead work and deep reach into dense shrubs, all while maintaining the surgical precision of a bypass cutting action.

Best For: Gardeners requiring maximum leverage for general-purpose pruning of green wood and thicker branches, especially those needing to reach high or awkward areas without heavy equipment.

Key Features

• 50% More Cutting Power: The specialized unique compound action multiplies the force applied, making it significantly easier to slice through thicker branches with less physical effort.
• Bypass Cutting Action: Designed to provide clean, healthy cuts on live stems, minimizing plant trauma and encouraging faster healing compared to anvil-style loppers.
• Twist-Lock Telescopic Handles: Features a patented one-handed telescopic mechanism that extends the overall length from 68cm to 100cm, perfect for varying heights and reaching into the back of borders.
• High-Carbon Steel Blades: Forged from premium steel to ensure lasting sharpness and durability through years of heavy-duty seasonal pruning.
• Ultra-Lightweight Aluminium Shafts: Constructed for overhead ergonomics, the lightweight frame combined with comfortable rubber grips prevents arm fatigue during extended use.

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.
