The STIHL RTS Carrier-Style Harness (Part Number: 0000-790-4400) is an ergonomic weight-distribution system designed to transfer the weight of extended-reach outdoor power equipment directly to the operator's hips and core. By suspending long-reach hedge trimmers, pole pruners, and extended trimmers, the RTS system dramatically reduces upper body strain, shoulder fatigue, and lower back tension during long commercial work shifts.
Featuring fully adjustable shoulder straps, a padded waist belt, and a high-strength weight-bearing support strut, the RTS harness quickly adjusts to accommodate operators of various heights and sizes. The flexible attachment mechanism connects seamlessly to a wide range of STIHL shafted tools, providing balanced, weightless control whether trimming high hedge lines or clearing dense underbrush.
Key Features & Benefits
- Ergonomic Weight Transfer: Shifts tool weight away from arms, shoulders, and lower back directly onto the hips and core for comfortable all-day operation.

- Customizable Operator Fit: Fully adjustable shoulder straps, sternum strap, and padded hip belt comfortably fit operators of various body types and heights.
- Reduced Fatigue & Enhanced Control: Allows precision control over long-reach cutter heads while reducing physical strain during extended overhead or horizontal trimming.
- Heavy-Duty Commercial Construction: High-strength steel support spine and padded, wear-resistant synthetic fabric stand up to daily commercial landscaping use.
