Western States Cat opens Hayden location 

Western States Cat has opened a new $10 million, 55,000-square-foot facility in Hayden.

“Our goal with this project was to build something good for the community that supports the service, sales, parts, and rental needs of our customers in one of the most vibrant regions of the state,” Western States Cat president Tom Harris said. “We will kick off the grand opening with a series of events geared to community and customer appreciation.”

He added that this makes it one of the largest and most energy efficient projects built in Idaho this year.

Meridian-based Western States said the total facility size is 55,765 square feet and includes room for future expansion.  It features energy-efficient design elements include overhead doors constructed of cellular Lexan, a plastic developed for use in space that defuses light and reduces electrical usage; 14-inch walls constructed of concrete with a polystyrene core for energy-efficient heating and cooling; and wash bays that run water through multi-stage filters for reusability.

The new facility provides complete sales and service support for the Highway 95 corridor; a 30,000 square-foot service area with 10 full service bays; built-in compressed air and oil delivery systems computerized with wireless transmitters that regulate and record types and amounts of oil products dispensed; diesel truck and heavy construction equipment technicians on-call 24/7; an express hydraulic hose repair and welding shop on site, along with wash and fuel bays; and six cranes integrated into the building, including a 10-ton overhead crane.

The new Western States parts warehouse spans 10,000 square feet with more than 10,000 parts in inventory and has a 97-percent parts fill rate within 24 hours.
