Global wood demand
is projected to grow
54% by 2050.

Timberwise has the technology, processes and experience to recover old growth timber from flooded hydro dam reservoirs efficiently and profitably without harming the environment.

“The operator can see multiple views and can visualize the best angle to harvest the wood. The TR120 arm is a game changer.” 

– Lonnie Hayward, CEO and Founder

Safer and more efficient than current modified

land-based equipment attached to a barge

The TR2000 is intuitive and run by a

two man crew and does not require special training or certification.

State-of-the-art GPS with an advanced multi-beam sonar survey system density readouts from; video, maps and sonar – guide the operator to submerged trees. 

The Timberwise robotic arm can anchor 120ft down, then rotate 360 degrees giving it unparalleled reach and efficiency.

Safe, fast, reliable and above 
all… environmentally friendly. 

The Timberwise TR2000 
leads the industry with innovation built in for long-term efficient use. 

The TR2000 can harvest 
100 - 120 trees a day in one 
location with it’s articulated 
robotic arm.

The Timberwise novel technology platform utilizes a state-of-the-art ‘self balancing system’ which is much safer and more efficient than current modified land-based equipment attached to a barge. In fact, our technology platform will radically improve both safety and efficiency thereby increasing productivity. The technology and TR2000 harvester is intuitive and run by a single operator and does not require special training or certification. 

Our process is the result of years of intensive onsite research and development in Brazil as a working prototype by professional engineers. Our harvesting equipment  features an articulating robotic arm.

The Timberwise automated robotic manipulator (ARM) can anchor 120ft (36.58m) down, then rotate 360 degrees giving it unparalleled reach in the industry. This means more time spent harvesting wood and less time moving around. It is efficient as it reaches depths not easily attainable by human divers, and harvests timber at a volume many times greater than any other means.

Our technology can be manufactured and scaled quickly and easily. This comes into play in remote and hard to access areas. The robot uses: State-of-the-art GPS coupled with an advanced multi-beam sonar survey system. Density readouts from video, maps and sonar are viewed on multi-function displays to help guide the operator to submerged trees. The operator can see multiple views: top, down, left and right so he/she can optimize the best angle to harvest the wood.
