FELCO 20 - Compact Two-Handed Loppers - 430 mm - Forged Aluminium Bypass Branch Cutters
When branches exceed secateur capacity, close-quarters agility still matters. The FELCO 20 delivers heavy-duty bypass cutting power in a compact 430 mm frame, combining forged aluminium handles with a toothed counter-blade and hardened steel cutting head for clean limbs up to 35 mm.
The shortened profile manoeuvres inside tight canopies while the mechanical lever arm generates substantial force with a tighter handle swing. Integrated rubber shock absorbers cushion impact at the end of each cut, and the micro-metric adjustment system maintains blade alignment through years of commercial orchard output.
Best For: Commercial orchardists, viticulturists, landscapers, and estate owners who need an industrial-strength, short-profile two-handed bypass lopper for woody fruit trees and dense canopy limbs.
Key Features:
- Compact High-Leverage Design: 430 mm length with engineered lever arm delivers large-lopper power in tight spaces.
- Forged Aluminium Handles: Premium forged aluminium provides structural durability under heavy leverage loads.
- Toothed Counter-Blade Grip: Toothed counter-blade anchors slick branches and prevents wood slippage mid-cut.
- Hardened Steel Blade: 65 mm hardened steel blade cuts green or dry wood up to 35 mm with crisp, healing-friendly wounds.
- Ergonomic Shock Absorption: Rubber shock absorbers reduce wrist, arm, and shoulder fatigue during all-day clearing.
- Micro-Metric Adjustable Head: Precision adjustment calibrates blade alignment and tension over years of use.

Primary Cultivation Applications
- Orchard & Vine Maintenance: Pruning thick orchard trees, olive spurs, and mature grapevines beyond secateur capacity.
- Perimeter & Fence Clearing: Removing heavy suckers, wild growth, and sapling limbs up to 35 mm.
- Municipal Groundskeeping: Repetitive park pruning where compact reach and impact protection are required.
Pro Tip & Maintenance: Stop cutting at the first sign of crushing rather than slicing; this indicates dull blades or material at capacity limit. Grease the pivot seasonally and replace shock absorbers when impact feel increases. Use the FELCO 916 holster for safe hip carry between cuts.
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
- Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment
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.
