The patented T1000 "magic carpet" tea harvester presents a revolutionary concept in the mechanical harvesting of tea. Instead of the harvester running on wheels or tracks, or being carried by workers, it runs on top of the tea bushes. Manufactured from aerospace materials with a very high strength to weight ratio the T1000 is light enough not to damage the bushes while strong enough to be able to perform reliably in arduous conditions in tea estates of all sizes.

The T1000 runs with one operator and can harvest up to one hectare per hour. It has a floating head for even, accurate cutting, resulting in tea of better quality. Compared to other mechanical harvesting methods the T1000 requires less labour and cuts with higher accuracy, and of course when compared with hand plucking the savings are even higher.

The magic carpet tea harvester has been developed with a base of over 15 years experience in mechanical harvesting. Williames tracked harvesters and pruners are still being used in tea plantations in Papua New Guinea after commissioning more than 12 years ago.
