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 Materials Handling, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its majority-owned domestic and international subsidiaries (“Hyster-Yale” or the “Company”), Shanghai Hyster Forklift Ltd., a 75% owned joint venture in China is included in the consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions among the consolidated companies are eliminated in consolidation.
	The Company, through its wholly owned operating subsidiary, NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc. ("NMHG"), designs, engineers, manufactures, sells and services a comprehensive line of lift trucks 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, Northern Ireland, Mexico, The Netherlands, Italy, the Philippines, Vietnam, Japan, Brazil and China. The sale of service parts represents approximately 13% of total revenues as reported for each of 2013, 2012 and 2011.
	On September 28, 2012, NACCO Industries, Inc., ("NACCO"), the Company's former parent company, spun-off the Company to NACCO stockholders. In the spin-off, NACCO stockholders, in addition to retaining their shares of NACCO common stock, received one share of Hyster-Yale Class A common stock and one share of Hyster-Yale Class B common stock for each share of NACCO Class A common stock or Class B common stock. In accordance with applicable authoritative accounting guidance, the Company accounted for the spin-off from NACCO based on the historical carrying value of assets and liabilities.
	Investments in Sumitomo-NACCO Materials Handling Company, Ltd. (“SN”), a 50% owned joint venture, and NMHG Financial Services, Inc. (“NFS”), 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 and lift trucks. Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. owns the remaining 50% interest in SN. Each shareholder 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. NFS is a joint venture with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”), formed primarily for the purpose of providing financial services to independent Hyster® and Yale® lift truck dealers and National Account customers in the United States. National 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 its equity investments is reported on the line “Income from unconsolidated affiliates” in the “Other income (expense)” portion of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Significant Accounting Policies
	Use of Estimates:  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities (if any) at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents:  Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
	Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowances:  Allowances are maintained against accounts receivable for doubtful accounts. Allowances for doubtful accounts are maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. These allowances are based on both recent trends of certain customers estimated to be a greater credit risk as well as general trends of the entire customer pool. Accounts are written off against the allowance when it becomes evident collection will not occur.
	Inventories:  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined under the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method primarily for manufactured inventories, including service parts, in the United States. The first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method is used with respect to all other inventories. Reserves are maintained for estimated obsolescence or excess inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Upon a subsequent sale or disposal of the impaired inventory, the corresponding reserve for impaired value is relieved to ensure that the cost basis of the inventory reflects any write-downs.
	Property, Plant and Equipment, Net:  Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided in amounts sufficient to amortize the cost of the assets, including assets recorded under capital leases, over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Buildings are generally depreciated using a 20, 40 or 50-year life, improvements to land and buildings are depreciated over estimated useful lives ranging up to 40 years and equipment is depreciated over estimated useful lives ranging from three to 15 years. Capital grants received for the acquisition of equipment are recorded as reductions of the related equipment cost and reduce future depreciation expense. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred.
	Long-Lived Assets:  The Company periodically evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when changes in circumstances or the occurrence of certain events indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Upon identification of indicators of impairment, the Company evaluates the carrying value of the asset by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition with the asset’s net carrying value. If the carrying value of an asset is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount that the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is estimated as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
	Restructuring Reserves:  Restructuring reserves reflect estimates related to employee-related costs, lease termination costs and other exit costs. Lease termination costs include remaining payments due under existing lease agreements after the cease-use date, less estimated sublease income and any lease termination fees. Other exit costs include costs to move equipment and costs incurred to close a facility. Actual costs could differ from management estimates, resulting in additional expense or the reversal of previously recorded expenses.
	Self-insurance Liabilities:  The Company is generally self-insured for product liability, environmental liability, and medical and workers’ compensation claims. For product liability, catastrophic insurance coverage is retained for potentially significant individual claims. An estimated provision for claims reported and for claims incurred but not yet reported under the self-insurance programs is recorded and revised periodically based on industry trends, historical experience and management judgment. In addition, industry trends are considered within management judgment for valuing claims. Changes in assumptions for such matters as legal judgments and settlements, legal defense costs, inflation rates, medical costs and actual experience could cause estimates to change in the near term.
	Revenue Recognition:  Revenues are recognized based upon the terms of contracts with customers, which is generally when title transfers and risk of loss passes as customer orders are completed and shipped. For National Account customers, revenue is recognized upon customer acceptance.
	Products generally are not sold with the right of return with the exception of a small percentage of aftermarket parts. Based on the Company’s historical experience, a portion of such aftermarket parts sold is estimated to be returned and, subject to certain terms and conditions, the Company will agree to accept. The Company records estimated reductions to revenues at the time of the sale based upon this historical experience and the limited right of return provided to the Company’s dealers.
	The Company also records estimated reductions to revenues for customer programs and incentive offerings, including special pricing agreements, price competition, promotions and other volume-based incentives. Lift truck sales revenue is recorded net of estimated discounts. The estimated discount amount is based upon historical trends for each lift truck model. In addition to standard discounts, dealers can also request additional discounts that allow them to offer price concessions to customers. From time to time, the Company offers special incentives to increase retail share or dealer stock and offers certain customers volume rebates if a specified cumulative level of purchases is obtained. Additionally, the Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenues are recognized.
	Advertising Costs:  Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expense was $13.7 million, $9.0 million and $10.3 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	Product Development Costs:  Expenses associated with the development of new products and changes to existing products are charged to expense as incurred. These costs amounted to $69.2 million, $67.5 million and $61.3 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	Shipping and Handling Costs:  Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are recognized as revenue and shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company are included on the line “Cost of sales” within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities:  The Company collects various taxes and fees as an agent in connection with the sale of products and remits these amounts to the respective taxing authorities. These taxes and fees have been presented on a net basis in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and are recorded as an asset or liability until received by or remitted to the respective taxing authority.
	Stock Compensation: The Company has stock compensation plans for a limited number of executives in the U.S. that allows the grant of shares of Class A common stock, subject to restrictions, as a means of retaining and rewarding them for long-term performance and to increase ownership in the Company. Shares awarded under the plans are fully vested and entitle the stockholder to all rights of common stock ownership except that shares may not be assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred during the restriction period. In general, the restriction period ends at the earliest of (i) five years after the participant's retirement date, (ii) ten years from the award date, or (iii) the participant's death or permanent disability. Pursuant to the plans, the Company issued 149,655 and 27,742 shares related to the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. After the issuance of these shares, there were 672,603 shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under these plans. Compensation expense related to these share awards was $13.5 million ($8.8 million net of tax) and $1.1 million ($0.7 million net of tax) for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Compensation expense at the grant date represents fair value based on the market price of the shares of Class A common stock.
	The Company also has a stock compensation plan for non-employee directors of the Company under which a portion of the non-employee directors’ annual retainer is paid in restricted shares of Class A common stock. For the year ended December 31, 2013, $69,000 of the non-employee directors’ retainer of $125,000 was paid in restricted shares of Class A common stock. For the year ended December 31, 2012, $17,250 of the non-employee directors’ fourth quarter retainer of $31,250 was paid in restricted shares of Class A common stock. Shares awarded under the plan are fully vested and entitle the stockholder to all rights of common stock ownership except that shares may not be assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred during the restriction period. In general, the restriction period ends at the earliest of (i) ten years from the award date, (ii) the date of the director's death or permanent disability, (iii) five years (or earlier with the approval of the Board of Directors) after the director's date of retirement from the Board of Directors, or (iv) the date on which the director has both retired from the Board of Directors and reached 70 years of age. Pursuant to this plan, the Company issued 9,762 and 3,232 shares related to the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In addition to the mandatory retainer fee received in restricted stock, directors may elect to receive shares of Class A common stock in lieu of cash for up to 100% of the balance of their annual retainer, meeting attendance fees, committee retainer and any committee chairman's fees. These voluntary shares are not subject to any restrictions. Total shares issued under voluntary elections were 1,000 in 2013. No voluntary shares were issued in 2012. After the issuance of these shares, there were 87,006 shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under this plan. Compensation expense related to these awards was $0.7 million ($0.5 million net of tax) and $0.2 million ($0.1 million net of tax) for the year ended December 31, 2013. Compensation expense at the grant date represents fair value based on the market price of the shares of Class A common stock.
	Foreign Currency:  Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the fiscal year-end exchange rate. The related translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of equity, except for the Company’s Mexican operations. The U.S. dollar is considered the functional currency for the Company’s Mexican operations and, therefore, the effect of translating assets and liabilities from the Mexican peso to the U.S. dollar is recorded in results of operations. Revenues and expenses of all foreign operations are translated using average monthly exchange rates prevailing during the year.
	Financial Instruments and Derivative Financial Instruments:  Financial instruments held by the Company include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, revolving credit agreements, long-term debt, interest rate swap agreements and forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments or derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
	The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to partially reduce risks related to transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The Company offsets fair value amounts related to foreign currency exchange contracts executed with the same counterparty. These contracts hedge firm commitments and forecasted transactions relating to cash flows associated with sales, purchases and intercompany accounts denominated in currencies other than its functional currencies. Changes in the fair value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are effective as hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”). Deferred gains or losses are reclassified from OCI to the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period as the gains or losses from the underlying transactions are recorded and are generally recognized in cost of sales. The ineffective portion of derivatives that are classified as hedges is immediately recognized in earnings and recognized in cost of sales. Certain of the Company's forward foreign currency contracts are designated as net investment hedges of the Company's net investment in its foreign subsidiaries. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a hedge of a net investment in foreign currency, the gain or loss is reported in other comprehensive income as part of cumulative translation adjustment to the extent it is effective, with the related amounts due to or from counterparties included in other liabilities or other assets. The Company utilizes the forward-rate method of assessing hedge effectiveness. Any ineffective portion of net investment hedges are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period as the change.
	The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to partially reduce risks related to floating rate financing agreements that are subject to changes in the market rate of interest. Terms of the interest rate swap agreements require the Company to receive a variable interest rate and pay a fixed interest rate. The Company’s interest rate swap agreements are predominately based upon the three-month LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate). Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements that are effective as hedges are recorded in OCI. Deferred gains or losses are reclassified from OCI to the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period as the gains or losses from the underlying transactions are recorded and are recognized in interest expense. The ineffective portion of derivatives that are classified as hedges is immediately recognized in earnings and included on the line “Other” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Interest rate swap agreements and forward foreign currency exchange contracts held by the Company which qualified as hedges have been designated as hedges of forecasted cash flows. The Company does not currently hold any nonderivative instruments designated as hedges or any derivatives designated as fair value hedges.
	The Company periodically enters into foreign currency exchange contracts that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting. These derivatives are used to reduce the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk related to forecasted purchase or sales transactions or forecasted intercompany cash payments or settlements. Gains and losses on these derivatives are included on the line “Other” in the “Other income (expense)” section of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Cash flows from hedging activities are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the same classification as the hedged item, generally as a component of cash flows from operations.
	See Note 8 for further discussion of derivative financial instruments.
	Recently Issued Accounting Standards
	Accounting Standards Adopted in 2013:
	In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued authoritative guidance on the offsetting of assets and liabilities, which was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2013. The guidance requires additional disclosures regarding offsetting arrangements of balance sheet derivatives to enable financial statement users to understand the effect of these arrangements on a company’s financial position. The Company adopted the guidance as of January 1, 2013 and has included the disclosures in Note 8. As this guidance only affected disclosures, the adoption did not have any effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on the presentation requirements for reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI"), which was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2013. The Company adopted the guidance as of January 1, 2013 and has included the disclosures in Note 3. As this guidance only affected disclosures, the adoption did not have any effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted:
	In February 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on joint and several liability arrangements, which is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2014. The guidance provides for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date and for which no other specific guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles exists. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of the guidance will have on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.
	In March 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on a parent's accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity, which is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2014. The guidance clarifies the accounting treatment for cumulative translation adjustments when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity, an equity method investment that is a foreign entity and an equity method investment that is not a foreign entity. In addition, the guidance clarifies the attributes of a sale of an investment in a foreign entity. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of the guidance will have on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on unrecognized tax benefits, which is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2014. The guidance requires an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward with certain exceptions. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and not combined with deferred tax assets. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of the guidance will have on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.

	Restructuring and Related Programs
	During 2009, management approved a plan to close its facility in Modena, Italy and consolidate its activities into its facility in Masate, Italy. These actions were taken to further reduce manufacturing capacity to more appropriate levels. As a result, the Company recognized a charge of approximately $5.6 million during 2009 of which $5.3 million related to severance and $0.3 million related to lease impairment. During 2010, $1.9 million of the accrual was reversed as a result of a reduction in the expected amount to be paid to former employees due to the finalization of an agreement with the Italian government. During 2012, $0.2 million of the accrual was reversed as a result of a reduction in the expected number of employees receiving severance payments. Severance payments of $0.6 million and $0.5 million were made during 2012 and 2011, respectively. No further charges or payments related to this plan are expected.
	During 2008 and 2009, based on the decline in economic conditions, management reduced its number of employees worldwide. As a result, the Company recognized a charge of approximately $6.3 million in 2008 and $3.4 million in 2009 related to severance. In addition, $1.1 million and $0.3 million of the accrual was reversed during 2009 and 2013, respectively, as a result of a reduction in the expected amount paid to employees. Severance payments of $0.2 million, $0.1 million and $0.5 million were made during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. No further charges or payments related to this plan are expected.

	Interest paid on total debt was $7.2 million, $11.1 million and $14.2 million during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	During 2013, the Company entered into a $220 million secured, floating-rate revolving credit facility (the "Facility”) that expires in December 2018. The Facility replaced the Company's previous revolving credit facility which was to expire in March 2017. Borrowings outstanding under the Facility were $34.5 million at December 31, 2013. The excess availability under the Facility, at December 31, 2013, was $178.1 million, which reflects reductions of $7.4 million for letters of credit. The Facility consists of a U.S. revolving credit facility in the initial amount of $120.0 million and a non-U.S. revolving credit facility in the initial amount of $100.0 million. The Facility can be increased up to $320.0 million over the term of the agreement in minimum increments of $25.0 million subject to certain conditions. The obligations under the Facility are generally secured by a lien on the working capital assets of the borrowers in the Facility, which include but are not limited to, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and inventory. The approximate book value of assets held as collateral under the Facility was $540 million as of December 31, 2013.
	Borrowings bear interest at a floating rate that can be a base rate or LIBOR, as defined in the Facility, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margins, effective December 31, 2013, for U.S. domestic base rate loans and LIBOR loans were 0.75% and 1.75%, respectively. The applicable margins, effective December 31, 2013, for foreign base rate loans and LIBOR loans was 1.75%. The interest rate under the Facility on December 31, 2013 was 2.00% including the applicable floating rate margin. The Facility also requires the payment of a fee of 0.375% per annum on the unused commitment as of December 31, 2013.
	The Facility includes restrictive covenants, which, among other things, limit additional borrowings and investments of the borrowers subject to certain thresholds, as defined in the Facility and limits the payment of dividends. If the minimum availability threshold, as defined in the Facility, is greater than fifteen percent for both total and U.S. revolving credit facilities, the Company may pay dividends subject to maintaining a certain level of availability prior to and upon payment of a dividend and achieving a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00, as defined in the Facility. If the minimum availability threshold, as defined in the Facility, is greater than twenty percent for both total and U.S. revolving credit facilities, the Company may pay dividends without any minimum fixed charge coverage ratio requirement. The Facility also requires the Company to achieve a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio in certain circumstances in which total excess availability is less than ten percent of the total commitments under the Facility or excess availability under the U.S. revolving credit facility is less than 10 percent of the domestic revolver commitments, as defined in the Facility. At December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Facility.
	A portion of the proceeds of the Facility were used to repay the remaining $86.9 million of NMHG's previous term loan agreement which was entered into on June 22, 2012 and had an initial aggregate principal amount of $130.0 million. The Company recorded a $2.8 million charge in 2013 related to the write-off of deferred financing fees as a result of the repayment of the previous term loan agreement.
	The Company incurred fees and expenses of $2.9 million in 2013 related to the Facility. These fees were deferred and are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the Facility. In addition, the Company incurred fees and expenses of $6.8 million related to NMHG's previous revolving credit facility and term loan.
	In addition to the amount outstanding under the Facility, the Company had other borrowings of approximately $23.7 million at December 31, 2013. In addition to the excess availability under the Facility, the Company had remaining availability of $32.5 million related to other foreign revolving credit agreements.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Financial Instruments and Derivative Financial Instruments	'
	Financial Instruments and Derivative Financial Instruments
	The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair values of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding capital leases, were determined using current rates offered for similar obligations taking into account Company credit risk, which is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy. The book value and fair value of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding capital leases, was $58.2 million and $135.6 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable and derivatives. The large number of customers comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographies mitigates concentration of credit risk on accounts receivable. To further reduce credit risk associated with accounts receivable, the Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers, but does not generally require advance payments or collateral. The Company enters into derivative contracts with high-quality financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one institution.
	Derivative Financial Instruments
	The Company measures its derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis using significant observable inputs, which is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses a present value technique that incorporates the LIBOR swap curve, foreign currency spot rates and foreign currency forward rates to value its derivatives, including its interest rate swap agreements and foreign currency exchange contracts, and also incorporates the effect of its Company and counterparty credit risk into the valuation.
	Foreign Currency Derivatives:  The Company held forward foreign currency exchange contracts with a total notional amount of $484.1 million at December 31, 2013, primarily denominated in euros, Japanese yen, British pounds, Swedish kroner, Mexican pesos, Brazilian real and Australian dollars. The Company held forward foreign currency exchange contracts with total notional amounts of $428.7 million at December 31, 2012, primarily denominated in euros, British pounds, Japanese yen, Swedish kroner, Australian dollars and Mexican pesos. The fair value of these contracts approximated a net liability of $2.1 million and a net asset of $3.9 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The fair value of all net investment hedges was a net liability of $0.3 million at December 31, 2013.
	For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, there was no ineffectiveness of forward foreign currency exchange contracts that qualify for hedge accounting. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts that qualify for hedge accounting are used to hedge transactions expected to occur within the next twenty-four months. The mark-to-market effect of forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are considered effective as hedges has been included in OCI. Based on market valuations at December 31, 2013, $3.6 million of the amount of net deferred loss included in OCI at December 31, 2013 is expected to be reclassified into the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the next twelve months, as the transactions occur.
	Interest Rate Derivatives: The Company has interest rate swap agreements that are expected to hedge interest payments on its future three-month LIBOR borrowings. These contracts begin on December 31, 2014 and extend to December 31, 2018 for a notional amount of $100.0 million. The fair value of all interest rate swap agreements was a net asset of $2.4 million and a net liability of $0.7 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
	In connection with the refinancing of the term loan during 2012, the Company determined that the hedged forecasted transactions associated with its interest rate swap agreements were no longer probable of occurring. As such, the Company recognized a loss of $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2012 related to the ineffectiveness of certain of its interest rate swap agreements. Any additional charges related to these interest rate swap agreements are immediately recognized in earnings. These expenses are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations on the line “Other.”

	Rental expense for all operating leases was $15.3 million, $14.4 million and $15.5 million for 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company also recognized $7.2 million, $6.0 million and $7.8 million for 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, in rental income on subleases of equipment. These subleases were primarily related to lift trucks in which the Company records revenues over the term of the lease in accordance with the rental agreements with its customers. The sublease rental income for these lift trucks is included in “Revenues” and the related rent expense is included in “Cost of sales” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for each period. Aggregate future minimum rentals to be received under noncancellable subleases of lift trucks as of December 31, 2013 are $15.3 million.
	Assets recorded under capital leases are included in property, plant and equipment and consist of the following:

	Various legal and regulatory proceedings and claims have been or may be asserted against the Company relating to the conduct of its business, including product liability, environmental and other claims. These proceedings and claims are incidental to the ordinary course of business. Management believes that it has meritorious defenses and will vigorously defend the Company in these actions. Any costs that management estimates will be paid as a result of these claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Although the ultimate disposition of these proceedings is not presently determinable, management believes, after consultation with its legal counsel, that the likelihood is remote that material costs will be incurred in excess of accruals already recognized.

	Guarantees
	Under various financing arrangements for certain customers, including independently owned retail dealerships, the Company provides recourse or repurchase obligations such that it would be obligated in the event of default by the customer. Terms of the third-party financing arrangements for which the Company is providing recourse or repurchase obligations generally range from one to five years. Total amounts subject to recourse or repurchase obligations at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $149.2 million and $146.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, losses anticipated under the terms of the recourse or repurchase obligations were not significant and reserves have been provided for such losses based on historical experience in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company generally retains a security interest in the related assets financed such that, in the event it would become obligated under the terms of the recourse or repurchase obligations, the Company would take title to the assets financed. The fair value of collateral held at December 31, 2013 was approximately $165.4 million based on Company estimates. The Company estimates the fair value of the collateral using information regarding the original sales price, the current age of the equipment and general market conditions that influence the value of both new and used lift trucks. The Company also regularly monitors the external credit ratings of the entities in which it has provided recourse or repurchase obligations. As of December 31, 2013, the Company did not believe there was a significant risk of non-payment or non-performance of the obligations by these entities; however, based upon the economic environment, there can be no assurance that the risk may not increase in the future. In addition, the Company has an agreement with GECC to limit its exposure to losses at certain eligible dealers. Under this agreement, losses related to $35.8 million of recourse or repurchase obligations for these certain eligible dealers are limited to 7.5% of their original loan balance, or $7.1 million as of December 31, 2013. The $35.8 million is included in the $149.2 million of total amounts subject to recourse or repurchase obligations at December 31, 2013.

	Product Warranties
	The Company provides a standard warranty on its lift trucks, generally for six to twelve months or 1,000 to 2,000 hours. For certain components in some series of lift trucks, the Company provides a standard warranty of two to three years or 4,000 to 6,000 hours. The Company estimates the costs which may be incurred under its standard warranty programs and records a liability for such costs at the time product revenue is recognized.
	In addition, the Company sells extended warranty agreements, which provide a warranty for an additional two to five years or up to 2,400 to 10,000 hours. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the product sold and the country in which the Company does business. Revenue received for the sale of extended warranty contracts is deferred and recognized in the same manner as the costs incurred to perform under the warranty contracts.
	The Company also maintains a quality enhancement program under which it provides for specifically identified field product improvements in its warranty obligation. Accruals under this program are determined based on estimates of the potential number of claims to be processed and the cost of processing those claims based on historical costs.
	The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Factors that affect the warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and the cost per claim.
	Changes in the current and long-term warranty obligations, including deferred revenue on extended warranty contracts, are as follows:

	The Company's Class A common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “HY.” Because of transfer restrictions on Class B common stock, no trading market has developed, or is expected to develop, for the Company's Class B common stock. The Class B common stock is convertible into Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis at any time at the request of the holder. The Company's Class A common stock and Class B common stock have the same cash dividend rights per share. The Class A common stock has one vote per share and the Class B common stock has ten votes per share. The total number of authorized shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock at December 31, 2013 was 125 million shares and 35 million shares, respectively. Treasury shares of Class A common stock totaling 65,042 and 47,348 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, have been deducted from shares outstanding.
	Stock Compensation: See Note 2 for a discussion of the Company's restricted stock awards.
	Earnings per Share: For purposes of calculating earnings per share, no adjustments have been made to the reported amounts of net income attributable to stockholders. In addition, basic and diluted earnings per share for Class A common stock are the same as Class B common stock. The weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

	As of December 31, 2013, the cumulative unremitted earnings of the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries are approximately $303.3 million. The Company repatriated earnings of its European subsidiaries of $30 million and $50 million during 2013 and 2012, respectively. There were no distributions of unremitted earnings in 2011. The Company estimates that approximately $45 million to $55 million of its unremitted foreign earnings may be repatriated in the foreseeable future. As a result of this determination, the Company has provided a deferred tax liability with respect to these earnings of $7.4 million at December 31, 2013. The Company has continued to conclude that predominantly all remaining foreign earnings in excess of this amount will be indefinitely reinvested in its non-U.S. operations and, therefore, the recording of deferred tax liabilities for such unremitted earnings is not required. It is impracticable to determine the total amount of unrecognized deferred taxes with respect to these permanently reinvested earnings; however, foreign tax credits would be available to partially reduce U.S. income taxes in the event of a distribution.
	A detailed summary of the total deferred tax assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets resulting from differences in the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities follows:
		December 31

State and Non-U.S. Capital losses	9.7			9.7			2014-Indefinite
Total	$	44.3		$	34
The establishment of a valuation allowance does not have an impact on cash, nor does such an allowance preclude the Company from using its loss carryforwards or other deferred tax assets in future periods. The tax net operating losses that comprise a substantial portion of the Australian deferred tax assets do not expire under local law and the U.S. state taxing jurisdictions individually can provide for a carryforward period that extends for up to 20 years.
The Company's operations emerged from a three-year cumulative loss with respect to its Australian, certain European and U.S. taxing jurisdictions during 2012. The Company evaluated all the positive and negative evidence with respect to the realization of the deferred tax assets in these taxing jurisdictions. Based upon the scheduling of deferred temporary differences, the projection of future taxable income in each taxing jurisdiction and the assessment of economic risks impacting each of these specific geographic regions, the Company determined that certain portions of both the U.S. state and Australian deferred tax assets were realizable and met the more likely than not threshold for a release of the associated valuation allowance. Accordingly, the Company released $10.7 million of its valuation allowance primarily with respect to its U.S. state and Australian deferred tax assets.
During the second quarter of 2013, the Company determined that its United Kingdom deferred tax assets met the more likely than not threshold required for realization based upon the anticipated timing of deferred temporary differences, the continuing trend of earnings, the projection of future taxable income, and the improving assessment of the economic environment affecting the Company's European operations. Accordingly, the income tax provision for the second quarter of 2013 contains a net release of valuation allowance of $12.8 million.
During both 2013 and 2012, the net valuation allowance provided against certain deferred tax assets decreased by $15.4 million. The change in the total valuation allowance in 2013 and 2012 included a net decrease in tax expense of $12.1 million and $19.7 million, respectively, and a net change in the overall U.S. dollar value of valuation allowances previously recorded in foreign currencies and amounts recorded directly in equity of a net decrease of $3.3 million in 2013 and a net increase of $4.3 million in 2012.
Based upon the review of historical earnings and trends, forecasted earnings and the relevant expiration of carryforwards, the Company believes the valuation allowances provided are appropriate. At December 31, 2013, the Company had gross net operating loss carryforwards in non-U.S. jurisdictions of $75.7 million and U.S. state jurisdictions of $84.3 million.
The tax returns of the Company and certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries are under routine examination by various taxing authorities. The Company has not been informed of any material assessment for which an accrual has not been previously provided and the Company would vigorously contest any material assessment. Management believes any potential adjustment would not materially affect the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
The following is a reconciliation of total gross unrecognized tax benefits, defined as the aggregate tax effect of differences between tax return positions and the benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. Approximately $5.2 million, $6.7 million and $7.7 million of these amounts as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, relate to permanent items that, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate. This amount differs from gross unrecognized tax benefits presented in the table below for 2013 and 2012 due to the decrease in U.S. federal income taxes which would occur upon the recognition of the state tax benefits included herein.
	2013			2012			2011
Balance at January 1	$	6.8		$	7.7		$	7.9
Additions for tax positions of prior years	0.1			0.2			0.1
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year	0.9			0.9			1
Reductions due to settlements with taxing authorities and the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations	(2.7		)	(2.2		)	(1.2		)
Other changes in unrecognized tax benefits including foreign currency translation adjustments	0.2			0.2			(0.1		)
Balance at December 31	$	5.3		$	6.8		$	7.7
The Company records interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of the income tax provision. The Company recorded a net decrease of $0.1 million in interest and penalties during 2013 and no net change during 2012 and 2011. The total amount of interest and penalties accrued was $0.3 million as of December 31, 2013 and $0.4 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.
The Company expects the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change within the next twelve months; however, the change in unrecognized tax benefits, which is reasonably possible within the next twelve months, is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. It is reasonably possible the Company will record unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months in the range of zero to $1.5 million resulting from the possible expiration of certain statutes of limitation and settlement of audits. If recognized, the previously unrecognized tax benefits will be recorded as discrete tax benefits in the quarter in which the items are effectively settled.
In general, the Company operates in taxing jurisdictions that provide a statute of limitations period ranging from three to five years for the taxing authorities to review the applicable tax filings. The examination of the U.S. federal tax returns for the 2007 and 2008 tax years was completed in 2011 except for one issue that was settled favorably in the Internal Revenue Service Appeals process in November 2012. The examination of the 2009 and 2010 U.S. federal tax returns commenced in February 2012 and was completed in the first quarter of 2013 with acceptance by Joint Committee in the third quarter of 2013. The examination of the U.S. federal tax returns for the 2011 and 2012 tax years, including the post spin-off short period return for 2012, began in the third quarter of 2013 and is expected to be completed during 2014. The discussion above regarding the U.S. federal tax returns and audits reflects the impact upon the Company as a member of the consolidated federal tax return of NACCO for the 2012 tax year and prior. As a result of the spin-off, the Company filed a separate U.S. federal tax return for the period from the spin-off through December 31, 2012. The Company is currently under examination in various state and non-U.S. jurisdictions for which the statute of limitations has been extended. The Company believes these examinations are routine in nature and are not expected to result in any material tax assessments.

	Retirement Benefit Plans
	Defined Benefit Plans:  The Company maintains various defined benefit pension plans that provide benefits based on years of service and average compensation during certain periods. The Company’s policy is to make contributions to fund these plans within the range allowed by applicable regulations. Plan assets consist primarily of publicly traded stocks and government and corporate bonds.
	Pension benefits for employees covered under the Company’s U.S. plans are frozen. Only certain grandfathered employees in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands still earn retirement benefits under defined benefit pension plans. All other eligible employees of the Company, including employees whose pension benefits were frozen, receive retirement benefits under defined contribution retirement plans.
	During the third quarter of 2013, the Company recognized a settlement loss of $1.2 million resulting from lump-sum distributions exceeding the total projected interest cost for the plan year for one of its U.S. pension plans. The Company remeasured the plan as of September 30, 2013 using a discount rate of 4.30%. An additional $0.4 million settlement loss was recognized for lump-sum distributions occurring during the fourth quarter of 2013 using a discount rate of 4.40%.

The transition obligation, prior service credit and actuarial loss included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) expected to be recognized in net periodic benefit cost in 2014 are $0.2 million (less than $0.1 million net of tax), $0.3 million ($0.2 million net of tax) and $6.4 million ($4.1 million net of tax), respectively.
The projected benefit obligation included in the table above represents the actuarial present value of benefits attributable to employee service rendered to date, including the effects of estimated future pay increases. The accumulated benefit obligation also reflects the actuarial present value of benefits attributable to employee service rendered to date, but does not include the effects of estimated future pay increases.
The Company expects to contribute $3.7 million to its non-U.S. pension plans in 2014. The Company does not expect to contribute to its U.S. pension plans in 2014.
Pension benefit payments are made from assets of the pension plans. Future pension benefit payments expected to be paid from assets of the pension plans are:
	U.S. Plans			Non-U.S. Plans
2014	$	6.5		$	5.7
2015	6.5			6.7
2016	6.4			6.4
2017	6.2			7.2
2018	6.3			7.2
2019 - 2023	28.9			41.8
	$	60.8		$	75
The expected long-term rate of return on defined benefit plan assets reflects management’s expectations of long-term rates of return on funds invested to provide for benefits included in the projected benefit obligations. The Company has established the expected long-term rate of return assumption for plan assets by considering the historical rates of return over a period of time that is consistent with the long-term nature of the underlying obligations of these plans as well as a forward-looking rate of return. The historical and forward-looking rates of return for each of the asset classes used to determine the Company's estimated rate of return assumption were based upon the rates of return earned or expected to be earned by investments in the equivalent benchmark market indices for each of the asset classes.
Expected returns for most of the Company's pension plans are based on a calculated market-related value of assets. Under this methodology, asset gains and losses resulting from actual returns that differ from the Company’s expected returns are recognized in the market-related value of assets ratably over three years.
The pension plans maintain an investment policy that, among other things, establishes a portfolio asset allocation methodology with percentage allocation bands for individual asset classes. The investment policy provides that investments are reallocated between asset classes as balances exceed or fall below the appropriate allocation bands.
The following is the actual allocation percentage and target allocation percentage for the Company's U.S. pension plan assets at December 31:
	2013		2012	Target Allocation

	Business Segments
	The Company’s reportable segments include the following three management units: the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Americas includes its operations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Latin America and its corporate headquarters. Europe includes its operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Asia-Pacific includes its operations in the Asia-Pacific region including China as well as the equity earnings of SN operations. Certain amounts are allocated to these geographic management units and are included in the segment results presented below, including product development costs, corporate headquarter's expenses and certain information technology infrastructure costs. These allocations among geographic management units are determined by senior management and not directly incurred by the geographic operations. In addition, other costs are incurred directly by these geographic management units based upon the location of the manufacturing plant or sales units, including manufacturing variances, product liability, warranty and sales discounts, which may not be associated with the geographic management unit of the ultimate end user sales location where revenues and margins are reported. Therefore, the reported results of each segment cannot be considered stand-alone entities as all segments are inter-related and integrate into a single global business. See Note 1 for a discussion of the Company’s product lines.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]	'
Related Party Transactions	'
	Equity Investments and Related Party Transactions
	The Company maintains an interest in one variable interest entity, NFS. NFS is a joint venture with GECC formed primarily for the purpose of providing financial services to independent Hyster® and Yale® lift truck dealers and National Account customers in the United States and is included in the Americas segment. The Company does not have a controlling financial interest or have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of NFS. Therefore, the Company has concluded that the Company is not the primary beneficiary and will continue to use the equity method to account for its 20% interest in NFS. The Company does not consider its variable interest in NFS to be significant.
	Generally, the Company sells lift trucks through its independent dealer network or directly to customers. These dealers and customers may enter into a financing transaction with NFS or other unrelated third parties. NFS provides debt financing to dealers and lease financing to both dealers and customers. NFS’ total purchases of Hyster® and Yale® lift trucks from dealers, and directly from the Company such that NFS could provide retail lease financing to customers for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $417.0 million, $395.3 million and $337.3 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $81.5 million, $72.5 million and $38.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, was invoiced directly from the Company to NFS so that the customer could obtain operating lease financing from NFS. Amounts receivable from NFS at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $4.6 million and $7.0 million, respectively.
	Under the terms of the joint venture agreement with GECC, the Company provides recourse for wholesale financing provided to its dealers by NFS. Additionally, the credit quality of a customer or concentration issues within GECC may necessitate providing recourse or repurchase obligations of the lift trucks purchased by customers and financed through NFS. At December 31, 2013, approximately $125.5 million of total recourse or repurchase obligations related to transactions with NFS. The Company has reserved for losses under the terms of the recourse or repurchase obligations in its consolidated financial statements. Historically, the Company has not had significant losses with respect to these obligations. During 2013, 2012 and 2011, the net losses resulting from customer defaults did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position.
	In connection with the joint venture agreement, the Company also provides a guarantee to GECC for 20% of NFS’ debt with GECC, such that the Company would become liable under the terms of NFS’ debt agreements with GECC in the case of default by NFS. At December 31, 2013, loans from GECC to NFS totaled $756.5 million. Although the Company’s contractual guarantee was $151.3 million, the loans by GECC to NFS are secured by NFS’ customer receivables, of which the Company guarantees $125.5 million. Excluding the $125.5 million of NFS receivables guaranteed by the Company from NFS’ loans to GECC, the Company’s incremental obligation as a result of this guarantee to GECC is $126.2 million. NFS has not defaulted under the terms of this debt financing in the past and although there can be no assurances, the Company is not aware of any circumstances that would cause NFS to default in future periods.
	In addition to providing financing to dealers, NFS provides operating lease financing to the Company. Operating lease obligations primarily relate to specific sale-leaseback-sublease transactions for certain customers whereby the Company sells lift trucks to NFS, leases these lift trucks back under an operating lease agreement and then subleases those lift trucks to customers under an operating lease agreement. Total obligations to NFS under the operating lease agreements were $6.5 million and $5.0 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In addition, the Company provides certain subsidies to its dealers that are paid directly to NFS. Total subsidies were $1.7 million, $1.5 million and $1.4 million for 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	The Company provides certain services to NFS for which it receives compensation under the terms of the joint venture agreement. The services consist primarily of administrative functions and remarketing services. Total income recorded related to these services was $15.6 million in 2013, $14.1 million in 2012 and $7.3 million in 2011.
	The Company has a 50% ownership interest in SN, a limited liability company that was formed primarily to manufacture and distribute Sumitomo-branded lift trucks in Japan and export Hyster®- and Yale®- branded lift trucks and related components and service parts outside of Japan. The Company’s ownership in SN is accounted for using the equity method of accounting and is included in the Asia-Pacific segment. The Company purchases products from SN under normal trade terms based on current market prices. In 2013, 2012 and 2011, purchases from SN were $78.7 million, $86.0 million and $105.5 million, respectively. Amounts payable to SN at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $20.8 million and $20.6 million, respectively.
	The Company recognized income of $1.3 million, $1.3 million and $1.6 million for payments from SN for use of technology developed by the Company that is included in “Revenues” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	Summarized financial information for both equity investments is as follows:

	Statement of Operations
	Revenues	$	379.3	$	435.3	$	444.3

	Non-current liabilities	$	944.7	$	749.5
	At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the investment in NFS was $9.4 million and $13.9 million, respectively, and the investment in SN was $27.3 million and $31.4 million, respectively. The investments are included in “Other Non-current Assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company received dividends of $6.8 million and $4.5 million from NFS in 2013 and 2012, respectively. No dividends were received from SN in 2013 and 2012.
	Prior to the spin-off, NACCO charged management fees to the Company for services provided by NACCO. The management fees were based upon estimated parent company resources devoted to providing centralized services and stewardship activities and were allocated among all NACCO subsidiaries based upon the relative size and complexity of each subsidiary. NACCO management fees of $9.6 million and $9.7 million are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2012 and 2011, respectively.

	Under certain circumstances, the agreement can be terminated by either NMHG Brasil or Synergy. In the event of termination by Synergy due to the inability of NMHG Brasil to comply with the terms of the agreement, Synergy will generally be entitled to receive a payment from NMHG Brasil of 2% of the aggregate purchase price under the agreement and the return of the Upfront Payment. In the event of termination by Synergy due to NMHG Brasil's refusal to execute the deed for the property, NMHG Brasil will return the Upfront Payment and in addition will pay to Synergy an amount equal to 25% of the Upfront Payment. In the event of termination due to the failure of Synergy to meet its obligations under the agreement, NMHG Brasil will generally be entitled to retain 25% of the Upfront Payment and must return the remainder of the Upfront Payment to Synergy.
	As of December 31, 2013, the net book value of the land and operating facility of NMHG Brasil was approximately $0.8 million. The first installment of $9.9 million is included on the line "Other current liabilities" as a deposit in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 and on the line "Other" in the Investing Activities section of the consolidated statement of cash flows. Any gain on the sale of the real estate and facility by NMHG Brasil is expected to be recorded at the time of the Sale Date.
	Also during 2013, NMHG Brasil entered into a construction agreement with Constructora Toda Do Brasil S/A. ("Toda"). Under the terms of the construction agreement, Toda will build a new operating facility in Itu, Brazil for NMHG Brasil for an aggregate price of R$39,500,000 (approximately U.S.$16.8 million, including payments made and expected future payments at a conversion rate of U.S. $1.00 to R$2.35, as of December 31, 2013), subject to certain conditions. The construction of the facility is expected to be completed by the end of 2014.
	The construction price will be paid by NMHG Brasil in the following manner: 1) 12% of the construction price or R$4,740,000 (U.S.$2.0 million), which was paid by the Company during the fourth quarter of 2013; 2) 83% of the construction price or R$32,785,000 (approximately U.S.$14.0 million, at a conversion rate of U.S.$1.00 to R$2.35, as of December 31, 2013) as progress payments over the course of construction of the facility; and 3) 5% of the construction price or R$1,975,000 (approximately U.S.$0.8 million at a conversion rate of U.S.$1.00 to R$2.35, as of December 31, 2013) upon completion of the facility and permitted occupancy by NMHG Brasil. Any payments made after July 31, 2014 are subject to adjustment pursuant to an inflation factor consistent with increases in the Construction National Cost Index (INCC-M/FGV), as provided by Getúlio Vargas Foundation for the period from August 1, 2013 until July 31, 2014. In certain circumstances, the Agreement can be terminated by either NMHG Brasil or Toda.

Significant_Accounting_Policie1

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Use of Estimates:  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities (if any) at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents:  Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowances:  Allowances are maintained against accounts receivable for doubtful accounts. Allowances for doubtful accounts are maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. These allowances are based on both recent trends of certain customers estimated to be a greater credit risk as well as general trends of the entire customer pool. Accounts are written off against the allowance when it becomes evident collection will not occur.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Inventories:  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined under the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method primarily for manufactured inventories, including service parts, in the United States. The first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method is used with respect to all other inventories. Reserves are maintained for estimated obsolescence or excess inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Upon a subsequent sale or disposal of the impaired inventory, the corresponding reserve for impaired value is relieved to ensure that the cost basis of the inventory reflects any write-downs.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Property, Plant and Equipment, Net:  Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided in amounts sufficient to amortize the cost of the assets, including assets recorded under capital leases, over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Buildings are generally depreciated using a 20, 40 or 50-year life, improvements to land and buildings are depreciated over estimated useful lives ranging up to 40 years and equipment is depreciated over estimated useful lives ranging from three to 15 years. Capital grants received for the acquisition of equipment are recorded as reductions of the related equipment cost and reduce future depreciation expense. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Long-Lived Assets:  The Company periodically evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when changes in circumstances or the occurrence of certain events indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Upon identification of indicators of impairment, the Company evaluates the carrying value of the asset by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition with the asset’s net carrying value. If the carrying value of an asset is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount that the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is estimated as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities or Restructurings, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Restructuring Reserves:  Restructuring reserves reflect estimates related to employee-related costs, lease termination costs and other exit costs. Lease termination costs include remaining payments due under existing lease agreements after the cease-use date, less estimated sublease income and any lease termination fees. Other exit costs include costs to move equipment and costs incurred to close a facility. Actual costs could differ from management estimates, resulting in additional expense or the reversal of previously recorded expenses.
Liability Reserve Estimate, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Self-insurance Liabilities:  The Company is generally self-insured for product liability, environmental liability, and medical and workers’ compensation claims. For product liability, catastrophic insurance coverage is retained for potentially significant individual claims. An estimated provision for claims reported and for claims incurred but not yet reported under the self-insurance programs is recorded and revised periodically based on industry trends, historical experience and management judgment. In addition, industry trends are considered within management judgment for valuing claims. Changes in assumptions for such matters as legal judgments and settlements, legal defense costs, inflation rates, medical costs and actual experience could cause estimates to change in the near term.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Revenue Recognition:  Revenues are recognized based upon the terms of contracts with customers, which is generally when title transfers and risk of loss passes as customer orders are completed and shipped. For National Account customers, revenue is recognized upon customer acceptance.
	Products generally are not sold with the right of return with the exception of a small percentage of aftermarket parts. Based on the Company’s historical experience, a portion of such aftermarket parts sold is estimated to be returned and, subject to certain terms and conditions, the Company will agree to accept. The Company records estimated reductions to revenues at the time of the sale based upon this historical experience and the limited right of return provided to the Company’s dealers.
	The Company also records estimated reductions to revenues for customer programs and incentive offerings, including special pricing agreements, price competition, promotions and other volume-based incentives. Lift truck sales revenue is recorded net of estimated discounts. The estimated discount amount is based upon historical trends for each lift truck model. In addition to standard discounts, dealers can also request additional discounts that allow them to offer price concessions to customers. From time to time, the Company offers special incentives to increase retail share or dealer stock and offers certain customers volume rebates if a specified cumulative level of purchases is obtained. Additionally, the Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenues are recognized.
Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Advertising Costs:  Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expense was $13.7 million, $9.0 million and $10.3 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Product Development Costs:  Expenses associated with the development of new products and changes to existing products are charged to expense as incurred. These costs amounted to $69.2 million, $67.5 million and $61.3 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Cost, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Shipping and Handling Costs:  Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are recognized as revenue and shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company are included on the line “Cost of sales” within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities [Policy Text Block]	'
	Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities:  The Company collects various taxes and fees as an agent in connection with the sale of products and remits these amounts to the respective taxing authorities. These taxes and fees have been presented on a net basis in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and are recorded as an asset or liability until received by or remitted to the respective taxing authority.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Stock Compensation: The Company has stock compensation plans for a limited number of executives in the U.S. that allows the grant of shares of Class A common stock, subject to restrictions, as a means of retaining and rewarding them for long-term performance and to increase ownership in the Company. Shares awarded under the plans are fully vested and entitle the stockholder to all rights of common stock ownership except that shares may not be assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred during the restriction period. In general, the restriction period ends at the earliest of (i) five years after the participant's retirement date, (ii) ten years from the award date, or (iii) the participant's death or permanent disability. Pursuant to the plans, the Company issued 149,655 and 27,742 shares related to the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. After the issuance of these shares, there were 672,603 shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under these plans. Compensation expense related to these share awards was $13.5 million ($8.8 million net of tax) and $1.1 million ($0.7 million net of tax) for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Compensation expense at the grant date represents fair value based on the market price of the shares of Class A common stock.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans, Director Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	The Company also has a stock compensation plan for non-employee directors of the Company under which a portion of the non-employee directors’ annual retainer is paid in restricted shares of Class A common stock. For the year ended December 31, 2013, $69,000 of the non-employee directors’ retainer of $125,000 was paid in restricted shares of Class A common stock. For the year ended December 31, 2012, $17,250 of the non-employee directors’ fourth quarter retainer of $31,250 was paid in restricted shares of Class A common stock. Shares awarded under the plan are fully vested and entitle the stockholder to all rights of common stock ownership except that shares may not be assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred during the restriction period. In general, the restriction period ends at the earliest of (i) ten years from the award date, (ii) the date of the director's death or permanent disability, (iii) five years (or earlier with the approval of the Board of Directors) after the director's date of retirement from the Board of Directors, or (iv) the date on which the director has both retired from the Board of Directors and reached 70 years of age. Pursuant to this plan, the Company issued 9,762 and 3,232 shares related to the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In addition to the mandatory retainer fee received in restricted stock, directors may elect to receive shares of Class A common stock in lieu of cash for up to 100% of the balance of their annual retainer, meeting attendance fees, committee retainer and any committee chairman's fees. These voluntary shares are not subject to any restrictions. Total shares issued under voluntary elections were 1,000 in 2013. No voluntary shares were issued in 2012. After the issuance of these shares, there were 87,006 shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under this plan. Compensation expense related to these awards was $0.7 million ($0.5 million net of tax) and $0.2 million ($0.1 million net of tax) for the year ended December 31, 2013. Compensation expense at the grant date represents fair value based on the market price of the shares of Class A common stock.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Foreign Currency:  Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the fiscal year-end exchange rate. The related translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of equity, except for the Company’s Mexican operations. The U.S. dollar is considered the functional currency for the Company’s Mexican operations and, therefore, the effect of translating assets and liabilities from the Mexican peso to the U.S. dollar is recorded in results of operations. Revenues and expenses of all foreign operations are translated using average monthly exchange rates prevailing during the year.
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Financial Instruments and Derivative Financial Instruments:  Financial instruments held by the Company include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, revolving credit agreements, long-term debt, interest rate swap agreements and forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments or derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
	The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to partially reduce risks related to transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The Company offsets fair value amounts related to foreign currency exchange contracts executed with the same counterparty. These contracts hedge firm commitments and forecasted transactions relating to cash flows associated with sales, purchases and intercompany accounts denominated in currencies other than its functional currencies. Changes in the fair value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are effective as hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”). Deferred gains or losses are reclassified from OCI to the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period as the gains or losses from the underlying transactions are recorded and are generally recognized in cost of sales. The ineffective portion of derivatives that are classified as hedges is immediately recognized in earnings and recognized in cost of sales. Certain of the Company's forward foreign currency contracts are designated as net investment hedges of the Company's net investment in its foreign subsidiaries. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a hedge of a net investment in foreign currency, the gain or loss is reported in other comprehensive income as part of cumulative translation adjustment to the extent it is effective, with the related amounts due to or from counterparties included in other liabilities or other assets. The Company utilizes the forward-rate method of assessing hedge effectiveness. Any ineffective portion of net investment hedges are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period as the change.
	The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to partially reduce risks related to floating rate financing agreements that are subject to changes in the market rate of interest. Terms of the interest rate swap agreements require the Company to receive a variable interest rate and pay a fixed interest rate. The Company’s interest rate swap agreements are predominately based upon the three-month LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate). Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements that are effective as hedges are recorded in OCI. Deferred gains or losses are reclassified from OCI to the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period as the gains or losses from the underlying transactions are recorded and are recognized in interest expense. The ineffective portion of derivatives that are classified as hedges is immediately recognized in earnings and included on the line “Other” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Interest rate swap agreements and forward foreign currency exchange contracts held by the Company which qualified as hedges have been designated as hedges of forecasted cash flows. The Company does not currently hold any nonderivative instruments designated as hedges or any derivatives designated as fair value hedges.
	The Company periodically enters into foreign currency exchange contracts that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting. These derivatives are used to reduce the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk related to forecasted purchase or sales transactions or forecasted intercompany cash payments or settlements. Gains and losses on these derivatives are included on the line “Other” in the “Other income (expense)” section of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Cash flows from hedging activities are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the same classification as the hedged item, generally as a component of cash flows from operations.
	See Note 8 for further discussion of derivative financial instruments.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Accounting Standards Adopted in 2013:
	In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued authoritative guidance on the offsetting of assets and liabilities, which was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2013. The guidance requires additional disclosures regarding offsetting arrangements of balance sheet derivatives to enable financial statement users to understand the effect of these arrangements on a company’s financial position. The Company adopted the guidance as of January 1, 2013 and has included the disclosures in Note 8. As this guidance only affected disclosures, the adoption did not have any effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on the presentation requirements for reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI"), which was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2013. The Company adopted the guidance as of January 1, 2013 and has included the disclosures in Note 3. As this guidance only affected disclosures, the adoption did not have any effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Description of New Accounting Pronouncements Not yet Adopted [Text Block]	'
	Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted:
	In February 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on joint and several liability arrangements, which is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2014. The guidance provides for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date and for which no other specific guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles exists. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of the guidance will have on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.
	In March 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on a parent's accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity, which is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2014. The guidance clarifies the accounting treatment for cumulative translation adjustments when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity, an equity method investment that is a foreign entity and an equity method investment that is not a foreign entity. In addition, the guidance clarifies the attributes of a sale of an investment in a foreign entity. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of the guidance will have on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on unrecognized tax benefits, which is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2014. The guidance requires an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward with certain exceptions. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and not combined with deferred tax assets. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of the guidance will have on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.

Discussion of Objectives for Using Foreign Currency Derivative Instruments	'The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to partially reduce risks related to transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The Company offsets fair value amounts related to foreign currency exchange contracts executed with the same counterparty. These contracts hedge firm commitments and forecasted transactions relating to cash flows associated with sales, purchases and intercompany accounts denominated in currencies other than its functional currencies. Changes in the fair value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are effective as hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (bOCIb). Deferred gains or losses are reclassified from OCI to the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period as the gains or losses from the underlying transactions are recorded and are generally recognized in cost of sales. The ineffective portion of derivatives that are classified as hedges is immediately recognized in earnings and recognized in cost of sales.	'	'
Objectives for Using Net Investment Hedging Instruments	'Certain of the Company's forward foreign currency contracts are designated as net investment hedges of the Company's net investment in its foreign subsidiaries. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a hedge of a net investment in foreign currency, the gain or loss is reported in other comprehensive income as part of cumulative translation adjustment to the extent it is effective, with the related amounts due to or from counterparties included in other liabilities or other assets. The Company utilizes the forward-rate method of assessing hedge effectiveness. Any ineffective portion of net investment hedges are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period as the change.	'	'
Discussion of Objectives for Using Interest Rate Derivative Instruments	'The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to partially reduce risks related to floating rate financing agreements that are subject to changes in the market rate of interest. Terms of the interest rate swap agreements require the Company to receive a variable interest rate and pay a fixed interest rate. The Companybs interest rate swap agreements are predominately based upon the three-month LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate). Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements that are effective as hedges are recorded in OCI. Deferred gains or losses are reclassified from OCI to the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period as the gains or losses from the underlying transactions are recorded and are recognized in interest expense. The ineffective portion of derivatives that are classified as hedges is immediately recognized in earnings and included on the line bOtherb in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.	'	'

Valuation Allowance, Deferred Tax Asset, Explanation of Change	'The Company's operations emerged from a three-year cumulative loss with respect to its Australian, certain European and U.S. taxing jurisdictions during 2012. The Company evaluated all the positive and negative evidence with respect to the realization of the deferred tax assets in these taxing jurisdictions. Based upon the scheduling of deferred temporary differences, the projection of future taxable income in each taxing jurisdiction and the assessment of economic risks impacting each of these specific geographic regions, the Company determined that certain portions of both the U.S. state and Australian deferred tax assets were realizable and met the more likely than not threshold for a release of the associated valuation allowance. Accordingly, the Company released $10.7 million of its valuation allowance primarily with respect to its U.S. state and Australian deferred tax assets. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company determined that its United Kingdom deferred tax assets met the more likely than not threshold required for realization based upon the anticipated timing of deferred temporary differences, the continuing trend of earnings, the projection of future taxable income, and the improving assessment of the economic environment affecting the Company's European operations. Accordingly, the income tax provision for the second quarter of 2013 contains a net release of valuation allowance of $12.8 million.	'	'

Income Tax Examination, Description	'In general, the Company operates in taxing jurisdictions that provide a statute of limitations period ranging from three to five years for the taxing authorities to review the applicable tax filings. The examination of the U.S. federal tax returns for the 2007 and 2008 tax years was completed in 2011 except for one issue that was settled favorably in the Internal Revenue Service Appeals process in November 2012. The examination of the 2009 and 2010 U.S. federal tax returns commenced in February 2012 and was completed in the first quarter of 2013 with acceptance by Joint Committee in the third quarter of 2013. The examination of the U.S. federal tax returns for the 2011 and 2012 tax years, including the post spin-off short period return for 2012, began in the third quarter of 2013 and is expected to be completed during 2014. The discussion above regarding the U.S. federal tax returns and audits reflects the impact upon the Company as a member of the consolidated federal tax return of NACCO for the 2012 tax year and prior. As a result of the spin-off, the Company filed a separate U.S. federal tax return for the period from the spin-off through December 31, 2012. The Company is currently under examination in various state and non-U.S. jurisdictions for which the statute of limitations has been extended. The Company believes these examinations are routine in nature and are not expected to result in any material tax assessments.	'	'
