Equipment Rentals & Used Machinery Sales in Star Valley, WY
Double Edge Equipment is the independent machinery dealer Star Valley contractors call when they need equipment that shows up on time and works when it gets there. We serve Alpine, Afton, Thayne, Star Valley Ranch, Etna, and Freedom from our yard just across the state line in Idaho Falls. Since opening our doors in the spring of 2013, this family-owned and locally operated business has run on one idea: do business the right way and put the customer first.
We specialize in high-performance construction and agricultural machinery for Lincoln County and Teton County job sites. Whether you are a general contractor breaking ground on a multi-story custom home in Alpine, an excavation crew prepping a mountain pad in Thayne, or an acreage owner maintaining property in Afton, we supply the equipment rentals and used machinery for sale you need to keep the job moving.
The Double Edge Way: Built for Star Valley Contractors and Mountain Builders
Running a job site in the Star Valley high country comes with logistics most rental chains were never built to handle. You do not need the extra headaches of corporate red tape, hidden fees, or a service department that never picks up the phone. At Double Edge, we take a straight-shooting, consultative approach to every project. We call it the Double Edge Way.
No Hidden Corporate Fees: Transparent Upfront Billing
National rental chains have a habit of loading your final invoice with unquoted environmental charges, mandatory damage waivers, and arbitrary cleaning fees. We do business differently. The rental rate and delivery fee we quote you upfront are the exact numbers you see on your bill.
Rapid Remote Field Service and Equipment Swaps
When a machine sits idle on a mountain job site, your whole build stalls and your costs climb by the hour. Our service department runs fully equipped mobile field trucks staffed by certified mechanics, and we dispatch a technician to your Star Valley site within one to two hours of your call. If the repair cannot be finished on the spot, we arrange a same-day or next-morning equipment swap so your crew keeps working.
Strategic Remote Freight Planning
Transport costs matter when you are moving heavy machinery into mountain valleys like Alpine and Afton. We work with contractors to bundle multi-machine truckloads for long-term rentals running three to six months, pairing a telehandler with scissor lifts, boom lifts, or skid steers on a single haul. That planning stretches every freight dollar further.
Homeowner-Friendly Weekend Rentals
Star Valley homeowners, farmers, and DIY builders tackle plenty of weekend projects, from land clearing to driveway grading to tree trimming. Our weekend rental program lets you pick up equipment Friday afternoon and return it first thing Monday morning. Put only light hours on the machine over the weekend, and we bill you for a single day of rent.
Equipment Rental Fleet Built for Mountain Construction and Acreage Maintenance
We maintain and rotate our rental fleet so every machine that reaches Star Valley is low-hour, reliable, and ready for the job. Nearly everything in our yard is available for short-term rental, long-term rental, or direct purchase.
Telehandlers and Reach Forklifts
Reach forklifts carry the weight of custom residential framing and commercial builds across Alpine, Thayne, and Afton. Our telehandler lineup runs from 6,000-pound capacities for standard residential builds up to 12,000-pound reach lifts for multi-story mountain structures, built to lift timber trusses, steel beams, and siding materials on high-elevation sites.
Earth Moving: Yanmar Mini Excavators, Skid Steers, and Loaders
From utility trenching in rocky Star Valley soil to grading and bulk material handling, our earthmoving fleet is built to work. We are an authorized full dealer for Yanmar mini excavators, offering precision engineering for tight residential digs, foundation work, and utility installs, alongside heavy-duty track skid steers, wheel skid steers, and wheel loaders for the toughest dirt work.
Aerial Lifts: Rough Terrain Boom Lifts and Scissor Lifts
Reach high elevation framing, roofing, and siding work safely with our aerial lift selection, including rough terrain scissor lifts built for uneven mountain ground, indoor slab scissor lifts, and articulating or telescopic boom lifts with 19 to 65 feet of vertical reach.
Compaction Rollers for Mountain Pads and Road Work
Proper soil density matters for building pads, driveways, and road construction across Star Valley. Our compaction inventory ranges from 5,000-pound walk-behind rollers for driveway prep up to 84-inch single-drum highway rollers, available in smooth drum and pad foot configurations to match your soil conditions.
Towable Ground Thaw Systems and Job Site Heaters
Star Valley winters can stop a job cold. Our towable ground thaw equipment and high-capacity job site heaters thaw frozen ground for digging, protect fresh concrete during cure, and keep interior workspaces warm so subcontractors can keep working through the winter.
Skid Steer Attachments, Tractors, UTVs, Wood Chippers, and Water Trucks
Turn a skid steer into a multi-tool with our attachment inventory, including augers, compactor buckets, brush mowers, shredders, snow plows, and pallet forks. We also carry compact and ag tractors from under 40 HP up to 174 HP, rugged UTVs for site transport, towable wood chippers for forestry and land clearing, and water trucks for dust control.
Quality Used Heavy Equipment for Sale in Star Valley, WY
Used equipment sales make up 60 to 70 percent of our business. If you are looking to buy machinery for your farm, ranch, or contracting business in Star Valley, we offer a dependable, shop-backed alternative to risky out-of-state auctions.
Avoiding the Pitfalls of Out-of-State Online Auctions
Buying heavy machinery sight unseen from an out-of-state auction is a real financial risk. Equipment sourced from humid or salt-heavy East Coast environments often hides rust, corroded wiring, and weakened structural welds. National rental chains also use auctions to offload problem units, machines with failing hydraulic pumps, engine blow-by, or worn undercarriages, and pass that burden on to unsuspecting buyers.
Double Edge Certified Quality: Western US Sourced and Fully Serviced
We do not sell mystery equipment. Our used inventory comes from trusted dealer networks and major rental fleets across the dry Western United States. Every machine that enters our shop goes through a detailed multi-point inspection, thorough cleaning, and complete servicing.
We hold our machines to a 250-hour maintenance schedule, twice as frequent as the standard 500-hour corporate interval. That schedule lets our mechanics catch minor issues like hub seal drips or hydraulic weeping before they turn into major failures. Every used machine we sell is work-ready with zero active leaks.
We Stand BehindWhat We Sell
Most used machinery dealers hand you a tail light warranty that ends the moment you leave the yard. We stand behind our equipment because we are building long-term relationships with builders, farmers, and contractors across Western Wyoming. If a major mechanical issue turns up shortly after your purchase, we help make it right by sourcing parts at cost or backing you up with labor support in our shop. Have questions about a specific machine or financing options? Contact our team and we will walk you through it.
Star Valley Heavy Equipment Rental and Sales FAQs
QHow does delivery to Star Valley and Alpine work from your Idaho Falls yard?
We run equipment transport daily through the Snake River Canyon and Salt River Pass to job sites in Alpine, Etna, Thayne, Star Valley Ranch, and Afton. Planning transport loads efficiently keeps freight fees competitive and budget-friendly for our customers.
QWhat happens if a rental machine breaks down on a Star Valley job site?
Call our rental desk right away. We dispatch a certified mobile field service technician to your Star Valley location within one to two hours. If the repair cannot be completed onsite quickly, we haul a replacement machine to you the same day or the next morning to keep crew downtime to a minimum.
QWhy should Star Valley builders rent telehandlers for long-term 3 to 6 month projects?
Custom mountain homes and commercial builds in Star Valley often run several months from start to finish. Renting a telehandler for three to six months gives you continuous lifting power for framing, trusses, and materials, and long term monthly rates run well below short term daily rates, especially when paired with consolidated freight delivery.
QIs buying used heavy equipment from Double Edge safer than buying from an out-of-state online auction?
Yes. Online auctions are often where national rental chains offload worn-out machines with hidden mechanical flaws, blow-by, or severe rust. Buying from Double Edge gets you a clean, dry, Western US-sourced machine that has been fully inspected, detailed, and serviced by our in-house shop. Every machine is sold work-ready with zero active leaks and backed by a local family-owned business.
QDo you serve homeowners and small acreage owners, or only contractors?
Both. Our weekend rental program and skid steer attachment lineup are built for Star Valley homeowners and small acreage owners tackling driveway grading, land clearing, and tree trimming, while our telehandlers, excavators, and aerial lifts cover full-scale commercial and custom home builds.
