Small company, based in Quebec. Only built a handful of lifts, a few of which are still operating (in Quebec).
Here’s a picture of the old Timberland Standish chair:
The lift in the photo closely resembles a later-model Mueller double, especially the grips. Did Timberland-Ellicott license their designs from Mueller?
Here is an description of the original 1954 lift from a 2009 article “The lift was an original Poma, with the mechanical release pulled by an attendant. Tripods supported the pulley and cable as one ascended to the top unload, which is the present flat spot where Lookout, Larch and Marmot diverge. This is about 100 metres below the present quad top.”
They have since painted every lifts terminal black (Except strawberry and angel) which looks really clean now and have installed cool and good looking metal letters of the chairlifts names on each lift.

It was relocated to Iran. The lower section still uses VonRoll detachable equipment, the upper section operates as a pulse gondola with modifications from Doppelmayr.

Timberland-ellicot also built quite a few T-bars in Ontario and Quebec during the short time they were around in the mid 1960’s to mid 1970’s

Apparently, the new lift will be called “Super Angel”, will have direct drive and yellow bubbles. The last day to ride Angel is the 12th May.
