Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed 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, attachments and aftermarket parts marketed globally primarily under the Hyster® and Yale® 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 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. The Company operates Bolzoni S.p.A. ("Bolzoni"). Bolzoni is a leading worldwide producer and distributor of attachments, forks and lift tables marketed under the Bolzoni®, Auramo® and Meyer® brand names. Bolzoni also produces components for lift truck manufacturers. Bolzoni products are manufactured in the U.S., Italy, China, Germany and Finland. Through the design, production and distribution of a wide range of attachments, Bolzoni has a strong presence in the market niche of lift truck attachments and industrial material handling. In May 2025, Bolzoni acquired 100% of the equity interest of a manufacturing business in Italy for an aggregate purchase price of $2.6 million, net of cash acquired. In addition, the agreement may require additional consideration to be paid by Bolzoni based upon the acquired business achieving certain revenue and profitability metrics in future years. The results of operations of this acquired business have been included in the Bolzoni segment since the date of acquisition and are not material to the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company has not yet finalized its analysis of the fair value of the acquired business, thus the allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and may change in future periods as fair value estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are refined during the measurement period. The Company will complete the purchase price allocation within one year after the date of acquisition. During the second quarter of 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 unaudited condensed 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. The Company’s percentage share of the net income or loss from these equity investments is reported on the line “Income from unconsolidated affiliates” in the “Other (income) expense” section of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2025 and the results of its operations and changes in equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information or notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
