Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure	Principles of Consolidation and Nature of Operations The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Hyster-Yale, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the accounts of Hyster-Yale's wholly owned domestic and international subsidiaries and majority-owned joint ventures (collectively, "Hyster-Yale" or the "Company"). All intercompany accounts and transactions among the consolidated companies are eliminated in consolidation. The Company, through its wholly owned operating subsidiary, Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. ("HYMH"), designs, engineers, manufactures, sells and services a comprehensive line of lift trucks, parts, fleet management services, technology and energy solutions marketed globally primarily under the Hyster®, Yale® and Nuvera® brand names, mainly to independent Hyster® and Yale® retail dealerships. Lift trucks and component parts are manufactured in the United States ("U.S."), Northern Ireland, China, the Netherlands, Mexico, the Philippines, Brazil, Japan, Italy and Vietnam. The sale of parts represents approximately 16%, 14%, and 15% of total revenues as reported in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company owns a 90% majority interest in Hyster-Yale Maximal Forklift (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd. ("Hyster-Yale Maximal"), a manufacturer of low-intensity and standard lift trucks and specialized material handling equipment. Hyster-Yale Maximal also designs and produces specialized products in the port equipment and rough terrain forklift markets. Bolzoni manufactures precision-engineered lift truck attachments, forks, masts and lift tables designed for handling delicate and specialized loads. These solutions are marketed under the Bolzoni®, Auramo® and Meyer® brand names and the Silver Line product portfolio. Bolzoni also produces components for lift truck manufacturers. Bolzoni products are manufactured in Italy, the U.S., China, Germany, Finland and Brazil. Through the design, production and distribution of a wide range of attachments, Bolzoni has a strong presence in the lift-truck attachments market and industrial material handling. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company announced a strategic business realignment of Nuvera Fuel Cells, LLC ("Nuvera") designed both to increase near-term profits and to create an integrated energy solutions program in the Americas segment, which is part of the HYMH business. Nuvera was merged into HYMH in the second quarter of 2025. As a result, the Company revised its operating segments to reflect changes in the way the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages and evaluates the business. These changes did not impact the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, but did impact its reportable segments. The historical and current results of the former Nuvera segment are now presented within the Americas operating segment. Refer to Note 4, Business Segments, for additional information on the Company's reportable segments. Comparative prior period amounts have been recast to reflect the segment change. Investments in Sumitomo NACCO Forklift Co., Ltd. ("SN"), a 50% owned joint venture, and HYG Financial Services, Inc. ("HYGFS"), a 20% owned joint venture, are accounted for by the equity method. SN operates manufacturing facilities in Japan, the Philippines and Vietnam from which the Company purchases certain components, service parts and lift trucks. Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. owns the remaining 50% interest in SN. Each stockholder of SN is entitled to appoint directors representing 50% of the vote of SN’s board of directors. All matters related to policies and programs of operation, manufacturing and sales activities require mutual agreement between the Company and Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. prior to a vote of SN’s board of directors. HYGFS is a joint venture with Wells Fargo Financial Leasing, Inc. ("WF"), formed primarily for the purpose of providing financial services to independent Hyster® and Yale® lift truck dealers and major account customers in the United States. Major account customers are large customers with centralized purchasing and geographically dispersed operations in multiple dealer territories. The Company’s percentage share of the net income or loss from these equity investments is included in “Income from unconsolidated affiliates” in the “Other (income) expense” portion of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
