FELCO 290-4M - Premium Extendable Long-Reach Pole Pruner - 4.0m Aluminium Extension - Heavy-Duty Dyneema Pull Cord

FELCO 290-4M - Extendable Long-Reach Pole Pruner - 4.0 m - Aluminium Extension with Dyneema Pull Cord

High canopy maintenance from the ground eliminates ladder risk while demanding stable reach and clean bypass cuts. The FELCO 290-4M telescopes on a lightweight structural aluminium pole to 4.0 metres, pairing a multi-angle rotating head with a Dyneema pull cord and non-stick hardened steel blade for branches up to 35 mm.

The polycarbonate and carbon fibre cutting head rotates from 110 to 60 degrees to align with awkward branch forks, while the Softgrip handle dampens vibration and maintains wet-weather control. Base length is 2,320 mm, extending to 4.0 m total reach at 1,828 g net weight for professional orchard and municipal tree work.

Best For: Commercial fruit tree growers, contract arborists, municipal landscapers, and safety-conscious estate owners who need ultra-long, high-precision pole pruning without ladders.

Key Features:

• Extendable 4.0 Metre Telescopic Reach: Premium aluminium pole telescopes to 4.0 m with exceptional stability and control.
• Multi-Angle Rotating Cutting Head: Polycarbonate and carbon fibre head rotates from 110 to 60 degrees for awkward branch alignment.
• Indestructible Dyneema Pull Cord: Industrial Dyneema fibre rope resists fraying, snapping, and stretching under leverage loads.
• Non-Stick Hardened Steel Blade: Hardened carbon steel bypass blade with non-stick coating prevents sap build-up and corrosion.
• Ergonomic Softgrip Handle: Dampens vibration and provides non-slip hold during extended overhead operation.
• 35 mm Bypass Cutting Action: Clean scissor-like slices promote fast tree healing and reduce disease entry.

Primary Cultivation Applications

• Commercial Orchard Canopy Pruning: High wood and lateral shoot removal in apple, pear, citrus, and stone fruit orchards.
• Perimeter & Street Tree Maintenance: Trimming tall hedging, street trees, and hanging branches along rural fence lines.
• Ground-Level Canopy Thinning: Removing water sprouts and shaping ornamental estate trees safely from the ground.

Pro Tip & Maintenance: Inspect the Dyneema cord for fraying before each session and replace at first sign of fibre damage. Keep telescoping sections clean and lightly lubricated for smooth extension. Cut only within the 35 mm rated capacity; forcing larger limbs damages the head mechanism and produces poor plant wounds.

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.
