Description
Slice through high tree limbs, storm-damaged branches, and utility line overgrowth from ground level without bucket trucks. The Greenlee Remote Battery Powered Pruner delivers hydraulic cutting power across a long-reach pole format. This battery-powered pruner features an insulated fiberglass pole. It requires a compatible 18V lithium-ion battery pack to power its internal hydraulic pump.
High-strength insulated fiberglass forms the outer pole sections, providing electrical flashover protection when trimming near overhead utility lines. A compact brushless motor drives a miniature high-pressure hydraulic pump located in the pruner head, generating 4 tons of cutting force across hardened steel blades. The scissor-action cutting jaws slice through hardwood branches up to 2 inches in diameter in a single 2-second cycle. Integrated Bluetooth controls allow wireless activation.
Key Features of Greenlee ES52LXRB
Utility arborists and line clearance crews use this cordless pruner to clear encroaching tree limbs near secondary power lines. The battery-driven hydraulic head eliminates heavy hydraulic hoses.
- 2-inch cutting capacity slices through dense hardwood limbs, utility cables, and guy wires
- Self-contained 18V battery-powered hydraulic head generates 4 tons of cutting force
- Insulated fiberglass extension pole provides high dielectric protection for utility line clearance
- Scissor-action bypass blade delivers clean cuts without tearing bark or jamming in wood fibers
- Wireless Bluetooth capability allows remote pruner activation from bucket trucks or ground stations
- Rapid 2-second cutting cycle speed accelerates high-volume tree trimming operations
- Compatible with standard commercial 18V lithium-ion power tool battery platforms
Hydraulic Pruner Dyno Cutting Telemetry
Dynamic test cuts confirm clean severance of 2-inch seasoned oak branches within 1.8 seconds at 7000 PSI hydraulic pressure. Battery current draw averages 14 amps per cutting cycle from an 18V 4.0Ah battery pack. The pruner head delivers up to 180 cuts per single battery charge in dense hardwood. Dielectric testing validates insulation up to 100 kV per foot. Acoustic sound output measures 66 dBA during cutting.
Utility Pruning Safety Setup Boundaries
Inspect the fiberglass pole surface for cracks, moisture, or surface carbon tracking before elevating the tool near power lines. Position the cutting jaws square against the branch limb and activate the cutting trigger until the cycle completes. Never operate this pole pruner within certified minimum approach distances of energized high-voltage transmission lines.
- Hardened steel cutting blade requires hand filing with a fine diamond hone after heavy use
- Fiberglass pole surfaces demand silicone cleaning wipes to maintain dielectric insulation value
- Hydraulic head seal area requires inspection for oil weeping before every field job
