a pole (20);

a work apparatus (W) fixed to a first end of the pole (20), comprising a work tool (30),

a support body (45), fixed to a second end of the pole (20), the support body (45) comprising a housing (60) that houses a power supply battery (P) operatively connected to the work apparatus (W), said power supply battery (P) being removably associated with the housing (60),

wherein the housing (60) comprises a bottom wall (65) and a front wall (70) and an opposing rear wall (75) that rise from the bottom wall (65),

wherein the damper element (95) is positioned between the bottom wall (65) of the housing (60) and the power supply battery (P),

wherein the power supply battery (P) is adapted to exert pressure and reversibly deform the damper element (95) in response to an application of a weight force of the power supply battery (P) to the damper element (95), and

wherein the damper element (95) is housed in a seat (100) made in the housing (60) of the support body (45),

the seat (100) being configured so as not to project beyond the bottom wall (65) of the housing (60), and
