Your Local Equipment Rental Experts
When getting the job done right matters, having access to reliable equipment makes all the difference. Mountain West Rentals and Sales provides dependable equipment rentals across Eastern and Southeast Idaho, serving contractors, businesses, and DIYers with high-quality tools and machinery—without the long-term cost or commitment of equipment ownership.
With convenient locations in Idaho Falls, Rexburg, Blackfoot and Chubbuck, we make it easy to find the right equipment for construction, landscaping, industrial work, and home improvement projects of all sizes. From heavy equipment like mini excavators, backhoes, and aerial lifts to commercial-grade tools for everyday job site needs, our rental inventory is built to support productivity, efficiency, and safety.
Unlike with purchasing equipment for a short-term project, renting construction equipment offers flexibility and cost savings, especially when projects demand specialized machines or short-term use. With renting, there’s down payment and total cost is more affordable than purchasing.
Backed by knowledgeable support and well-maintained equipment, our rental company helps professionals and homeowners alike stay on schedule and on budget—whether you’re managing a large commercial build or tackling a weekend project at home.
Choosing whether to rent or own equipment depends on your project scope, timeline, and budget. For many contractors, businesses, and homeowners across Eastern Idaho, renting equipment is the most practical and cost-effective option—especially for short-term, specialized, or seasonal work.
To buy equipment outright requires a significant upfront investment, ongoing maintenance, and long-term storage. Renting allows you to access commercial-grade tools and specialized equipment without tying up capital, helping you allocate resources where they matter most.
Every job is different. Renting gives you the flexibility to select the right equipment for each specific task, whether you’re excavating, grading, transporting materials, working at height, or completing landscape maintenance. You’re never locked into equipment you don’t need for the next project.
When you rent from Mountain West Rentals and Sales, maintenance is our responsibility. Every machine is professionally inspected and maintained, ensuring safe, reliable performance—without the burden of repair costs, downtime, or storage on your end.
With us, acquiring equipment is easy. Our rental inventory is designed to support projects of all sizes and types, including:
This all-in-one approach helps you avoid multiple vendors and keeps your project moving efficiently.
With locations in Idaho Falls, Rexburg, Blackfoot and Chubbuck, Mountain West Rentals offers fast access to the equipment you need—when you need it.
Our experienced local team rents out equipment regularly for all sorts of projects – our team understands the demands of construction, commercial, industrial, and residential projects in Eastern Idaho and is ready to help you choose the right solution.
Owning equipment may be practical for businesses that require constant, long-term use of the same machinery. For most other scenarios, renting delivers the convenience, reliability, and financial flexibility needed to stay on schedule—and on budget, as rental costs are lower than buying.

When deciding between renting and buying equipment, the right choice depends on your workload, budget, and long-term business goals. For a one off job or occasional project, the cost of renting is often easier to justify than taking on monthly payments for equipment that may sit unused for much of the year. Even multiple rental payments typically comes out to more affordable than the cost of owning. Renting also turns equipment into an operating expense rather than a major capital investment, helping businesses maintain flexibility and preserve cash flow.
Ownership can make financial sense for equipment that is used daily, but it’s important to consider the inclusive cost of ownership, including maintenance, storage, insurance, repairs, delivery costs, and fleet management responsibilities. These expenses can become a major factor in the true cost of owning equipment.
For many contractors, property owners, and construction crews, renting provides access to the specific equipment needed to complete projects efficiently without the burden of long-term ownership. With equipment available at a moment’s notice, businesses can scale up when opportunities arise and get the tools they need without committing to equipment that may not be needed again after the project is complete.
