Powering Tough Industries For Nearly a Century

Did you know Hyster has been Powering Your Possibilities for almost a century? The rich Hyster history is rooted in strength, durability, and innovation. You could say that toughness is in our DNA.

 

Our journey began in the rugged logging industry of the Pacific Northwest USA in the 1920s, where Hyster made its mark by manufacturing lifting machines designed to withstand the harshest conditions. This foundation of toughness and reliability has been at the core of everything we do, shaping our evolution into a global leader in material and container handling solutions. 


As the needs of industries evolved, so did Hyster. In the years following the invention of the forklift truck, Hyster quickly adapted, introducing robust lift truck models that could handle the demands of various industries. From the early days of lifting logs to modern industrial operations, Hyster has consistently delivered equipment that delivers exceptional performance.
