Greenlee debuts new battery-powered remote pruner

Greenlee, a part of Emerson’s professional tools portfolio, has launched a new utility line clearance and vegetation management tool. 

The 18V, battery-powered remote pruner is a heavy-duty lopper that delivers controlled cuts on wood limbs up to two inches in diameter. The remote pruner is designed for both ground use and hot stick compatibility.

When paired with a universal hot stick, it extends reach up to 30 feet. The remote pruner is equipped with a knurled blade for secure grip, automatic retraction and a fixed blade to reduce jams, delivering up to 80 cuts per charge. Its automatic post-cut blade retraction eliminates the need for manual reset.

“Greenlee’s Remote Pruner allows utility workers and tree care professionals to trim branches from a distance, reducing their risk of contact with live electrical wires,” says Adele Hendrix, product manager at Greenlee for Emerson. “Prioritizing efficiency, reliability and accessibility, this tool is specifically designed to support quick field operations and solo troubleshooting tasks. It is the first remote pruner that offers more precision compared to chain saws."
