In the 1920s, Hyster started as a manufacturer of lifting machines used in the rigorous logging industry of the United States’ Pacific Northwest. A few years later, the first forklift trucks were invented, and the Hyster® brand quickly gained its reputation for rugged quality. Today, that same pioneering, forward-thinking trajectory is taking us into exciting new territory. Our products continue to reduce the cost of ownership, boost productivity and enhance the comfort of businesses from multiple industries. It’s what our clients expect from Hyster and what we demand from ourselves. Every truck we make — whether powered by gasoline, propane, diesel, compressed natural gas, hydrogen fuel cells, lithium-ion or lead-acid batteries — is purpose-built to excel in its application.
