Thomas skid steers have "Stone Axe Simplicity," says Al Potter of Al Potter Services, a residential demolition business in Calgary. Petter M. Etholm, President of Thomas, said, "Al Potter's trust in Thomas skid steers is greatly appreciated and we work hard to maintain the respect of all of our customers."

Calgary, Canada (PRWEB) December 4, 2008 -- Thomas Skid Steer Loaders have "Stone Axe Simplicity," says Al Potter, a residential home demolition expert, explaining why he exclusively uses Thomas on his worksites, adding, "a stone axe is basic and reliable, which is just the way I see Thomas skid steers."

Potter has nine Thomas skid steers and won't use any other brand. He said, "Thomas skid steers are part of the solution I offer customers, not part of the problem." Thomas skid steer loaders can be seen online at www.thomas-equipment.com.

Petter M. Etholm, President of Thomas, said, "Al Potter's trust in Thomas is greatly appreciated. We work hard to earn the respect of skid steer operators and owners and we are committed to maintaining our efforts to build local market loyalty as we expand globally."

Thomas makes a full line of skid steers, from the nimble 85 and 105 models that can turn in a small area, to the heavy lifting Thomas 185 and 250. Thomas Equipment is online at www.thomas-equipment.com, where customers can learn more about Thomas Skid Steer Loaders.

Al Potter Services is expert at residential demolition in crowded urban settings of Calgary, Canada. Potter has nine skid steers, all Thomas, and 10 excavators. "I have nothing against other brands that use gadgets, but when I am clearing debris from a worksite, I just need muscle and reliability and that's what I get with Thomas."

Potter added, "A Thomas skid steer is easy to operate and fix. I can't afford to have equipment out of service for any length of time. Thomas skid steers break down far less than competitive brands and I can generally fix a Thomas myself."

Potter said, "I had a competitor's skid steer a few years back and when I had to fly-in a new electronic entry system and get a technician with a laptop computer to fix it, I decided to change to Thomas. When a Thomas needs to be fixed, I can fix the problem. I tend to fix things with a vice grip, hammer and wrench, not a laptop computer."

"I also like that Thomas has flat windows, so if you break one it doesn't cost so much to replace as the curved kind," he added.
