FELCO 201-50 - Lopper - Straight Cutting Head (50 cm)

FELCO 201-50 Lopper - Straight Cutting Head (50 cm)

The FELCO 201-50 is a medium-length professional lopper designed for those who require a versatile tool that balances cutting power with technical precision. At 50 cm (19.7 inches), it provides the necessary leverage to handle branches up to 35mm with ease, while maintaining the agility needed for precise work. This model features a straight cutting head, allowing the user to make surgical, clean cuts deep within the canopy. Built with FELCO’s signature forged aluminum handles and premium Swiss steel, it is a durable and reliable choice for intensive pruning sessions.

Best For Landscapers, pomologists, and demanding gardeners who need a mid-sized lopper for fruit tree thinning, vineyard maintenance, and general landscape pruning.

Key Features

• Straight Precision Head: The tapered straight blade is engineered for high accuracy, making it easy to target specific stems in dense growth and ensure a clean cut flush against the trunk.

• Optimized Leverage: The 50 cm handle length offers a significant mechanical advantage over shorter models, reducing the physical effort required to cut through hardwood and thicker branches.

• Forged Aluminum Handles: Constructed from high-strength forged aluminum alloy, providing industrial-grade durability and a lightweight feel that prevents user fatigue during long shifts.

• Shock Absorption System: Equipped with integrated rubber buffers that dampen the closing impact, protecting the muscles and joints of the arms and shoulders from repetitive strain.

• Fully Replaceable Parts: Designed for a lifetime of use, every component of the FELCO 201-50 is individually replaceable, ensuring the tool remains at peak performance for years.

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.

• 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.
