Thompson Tractor

Thompson Tractor Company, Inc. is a full-line Caterpillar and Hyundai forklift dealer, founded in 1957 and headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama. The company sells, rents and leases heavy equipment and provides parts and service support across Alabama, Northwest Florida, most of Georgia and Central Tennessee, having grown from a single location into a regional equipment solutions provider.

Service work sits at the centre of the operation. The company runs full-service maintenance and repair capabilities for heavy equipment, with a stated two-day repair turnaround commitment, and a parts supply operation with next-day parts delivery. Both are aimed at minimising customer downtime, a priority the firm cites as central to its relationship with equipment owners in construction, mining, quarry and aggregate, forestry, agriculture, landscaping, waste management and government.

Technicians also work with equipment technology deployed through Caterpillar's ecosystem: SITECH machine control systems, VisionLink fleet management and Cat Detect safety monitoring. These sit alongside the company's stated technical domains of machine control systems, fleet management technology, equipment telematics and safety monitoring technology.

Thompson Tractor describes itself as a caring member of the local community and a responsible corporate citizen, committed to serving the needs of customers and communities across the Southeastern United States.
