About us
Western States Cat is the authorized Caterpillar Dealer for Idaho, eastern Washington and Oregon, western Montana and part of Wyoming. We have over 70 years of experience serving logging, mining and construction industries. Winner of numerous national honors, we achieved Caterpillar’s Gold Level Dealer Excellence Award multiple times. Stability, financial strength, fast response to market needs and a focus on customer support have made Western States Cat a nationally respected company. Our roots began in the 1930’s as Western Equipment, selling machinery, tools and general supplies to contractors in the Northwest and Intermountain regions. In 1956, Western Equipment became the authorized Caterpillar dealer for southern Idaho and eastern Wyoming. Growth came rapidly, and in 1985 Western Equipment combined with a sister dealership covering northern Idaho and eastern Washington to form a single company. The new name, Western States Equipment Company, more accurately described the growing service territory. Western States Equipment has a proud history of acquisition and growth. What began as four service branches has grown into a much larger, award-winning organization. The company now covers an area over 191,000 square miles with 17 general line and truck engine branches, and 15 Cat® Rental Stores.

A testament to teamwork at an Idaho mine. This MD6310 was made ready for operation by our field techs and specialists who worked together to ensure the drill was built, operator training was provided, and technicians were ready to support. Thanks to their collaboration, this drill will be safely operating on the mine site!

In 1964, this Caterpillar 12E Motor Grader was sold to Jensen Lumber Co. in Ovid, Idaho, by a then fledgling Caterpillar dealer, Western Equipment Company. 60 years later, that 12E still works hard for the Jensen family! During a recent conversation they remarked "we should probably replace that grader, but with your help, the ole girl does exactly what we bought her for 60 years ago, regardless of how rough she may look.” 60 years of reliable performance is a testament to CAT's legacy of quality and our strong partnership with Jensen Lumber.
