Description
The Greenworks Commercial 82V OPTIMUS PH482A Mid-Pole Articulating Hedge Trimmer is a commercial-grade, battery-powered solution for precise hedge maintenance, shaping, and trimming. Its 20-inch replaceable, heat-treated, laser-cut stainless-steel blade delivers cutting performance at up to 4,500 strokes per minute, while the 1.2-inch cut capacity handles substantial hedge growth. Designed for professional landscape maintenance, the trimmer features a 7-position articulating head with 135 degrees of adjustment, two speed modes, a variable-speed trigger, and an anti-jam blade-reverse function. This tool-only model operates on the Greenworks Commercial 82V battery platform and combines a 27cc-equivalent brushless motor with low-vibration, low-noise, zero-emission operation.
Commercial Hedge Trimming Performance
The PH482A is built for controlled, efficient hedge work across commercial landscaping applications. The 20-inch dual-sided blade provides a broad working width for productive trimming, while the Quik-Cut system supports blade speeds of up to 4,500 SPM. With a 1.2-inch cutting capacity, it is suited to maintaining established hedges and managing thicker growth within the tool’s rated capability.
The commercial-grade brushless motor is rated as equivalent to a 27cc petrol engine. Greenworks Commercial states that the motor provides up to 1,000 hours of maintenance-free operation. As a battery-powered tool, it delivers operation without petrol, exhaust emissions, or the engine noise associated with petrol-powered hedge trimmers.
Adjustable Head and Speed Control
The articulating cutting head can be positioned in seven settings across a 135-degree range. This allows the blade angle to be adjusted for different hedge faces, tops, and shaping tasks. Two speed modes provide a choice between controlled operation and higher cutting productivity, while the variable-speed trigger allows the operator to regulate blade movement during use.
An anti-jam blade-reverse function helps address material that becomes caught during trimming. The replaceable blade is heat-treated and laser-cut from stainless steel for commercial hedge maintenance.
