EGO Power+ 16-Inch Carbon Fiber String Trimmer Attachment — POWERLOAD™ for 56V Multi-Head System, 16" Swath & Rapid Reload

The EGO STA1600 is a 16-inch carbon fiber string trimmer attachment for the EGO 56V Multi-Head System featuring POWERLOAD™ automatic line winding and a lifetime-warranted shaft.

Designed to pair with EGO POWER+ power heads (PH1400 or PH1420 sold separately), this attachment turns your power head into a high-performance string trimmer with a wide 16-inch cutting swath, weather-resistant construction, and professional-grade line. Its carbon fiber shaft keeps weight down while improving torsional strength, and two different line-loading methods—automatic POWERLOAD with PH1420 and Rapid Reload with PH1400—make line changes fast and frustration-free.

How does the POWERLOAD™ feature speed up line changes?

POWERLOAD™ automates trimmer-line winding when used with the PH1420 power head: feed the line into the head, press the button, and the system winds the line evenly for you. This eliminates manual wrapping and reduces downtime, especially useful when you need to reload mid-job.

• Compatible with PH1420 power head for one-button automatic winding
• Uniform line winding reduces imbalance and vibration
• Saves minutes per reload compared to fully manual systems

What if I have the PH1400 Power Head—how do I reload line?

When paired with the PH1400, the STA1600 uses Rapid Reload: align the arrows, insert the line, and twist the head to lock and tension the line. Rapid Reload removes much of the trial-and-error from traditional spooling so you’re back cutting quickly.

• Rapid Reload works without tools—just align, insert, and twist
• Clearly marked arrows guide correct installation every time
• Compatible with pre-cut professional dual-line spiral-twist 0.095-inch line

What are the durability and weather protections on this attachment?

The shaft is made from carbon fiber for a lightweight yet rigid connection beneath a lifetime warranty, while the attachment’s body is built to IPX4 weather-resistance standards. EGO backs the tool itself with a five-year warranty, providing long-term coverage for normal use.

• Carbon fiber shaft reduces weight and resists bending under load
• IPX4-rated construction resists splashes and light rain
• 5-year tool warranty and lifetime shaft warranty for confidence

How effective is the cutting performance for typical yard tasks?

With a 16-inch cutting swath and professional-grade dual-line 0.095-inch spiral-twist line, the STA1600 handles edging, trimming around trees, and clearing overgrowth quickly and cleanly. The wide swath covers more ground per pass, reducing time on larger lawns and landscape beds.

• 16-inch swath covers more area with each pass
• Dual-line spiral-twist 0.095-inch line for consistent cutting power
• Balanced head design minimizes vibration for smoother operation

Who is this for? The EGO STA1600 is aimed at homeowners and landscape pros who already own or plan to buy an EGO POWER+ power head and want a lightweight, high-capacity trimmer attachment with fast line changes and rugged construction. It’s a strong choice for anyone who values low tool weight, quick maintenance, and a broader 16-inch cutting path for faster trimming across medium-to-large yards.
