Western States Cat is the authorized Caterpillar Dealer for Idaho, eastern Washington, and Eastern Washington. Winner of numerous national honors, we achieved Caterpillar’s Gold Level Dealer Excellence 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 miles with 17 general line and truck engine branches, and 15 Cat® Rental Stores.
