STIHL RLA 240 Battery Lawn Scarifier 34cm — AK System Skin
The STIHL RLA 240 battery lawn scarifier helps remove moss, weeds and built-up lawn thatch from small to medium lawns. Its 34cm working width makes it easy to manoeuvre around corners and irregular lawn shapes, while cordless STIHL AK System power gives you freedom of movement without petrol exhaust at the point of use.
Use the scarifying roller to work through matted lawn and improve turf ventilation, or switch to the combing roller to lift dead grass and moss and prepare the surface for re-seeding. The 50-litre catcher collects loosened material, and the folding handlebars make storage easier after the job.
Skin only: battery and charger are not included. STIHL recommends the AK 30 S battery, with coverage of up to 250m² per charge under suitable conditions. A compatible charger is sold separately.
