UTILITY VEHICLES
Timberland Equipment acquired the product line from Timberjack and started producing the Minejack line of mine utility vehicles at its factory in Woodstock . The Minejack production was transferred to the Marcotte Mining location in Sudbury , Ontario , after Timberland acquired the business in 1995 . In 2020 , Marcotte amalgamated with Timberland Equipment and the manufacturing of the Minejack product line returned to its roots in Woodstock .
“ Some of the elements that make Timberland unique is that we are willing to take on projects other equipment providers refuse to or can ’ t ,” Troy Smith , Business Development Manager at Timberland Equipment , says . “ We have the experience to make new equipment happen , while relying on our proven technology .”
Timberland supplies a full range of underground utility vehicles , all built on the original Minejack platform .
