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 Materials Handling, 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 Group, Inc. ("HYG"), 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, China, Northern Ireland, Mexico, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Italy, Vietnam, Japan and Brazil. 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 products are manufactured in the United States, 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 2018, the Company announced, as part of a plan to expand Bolzoni's capabilities in the United States, Bolzoni's North America attachment manufacturing would be moved into HYG's Sulligent, Alabama manufacturing facility over the course of 2019. As a result, effective January 1, 2019, the Sulligent facility became a Bolzoni facility. Accordingly, the results of the Sulligent facility for the first quarter of 2019 have been included in the Bolzoni segment. In addition, the Company reclassified the historical results of operations of the Sulligent facility for 2018 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company operates Nuvera Fuel Cells, LLC ("Nuvera"). Nuvera is an alternative-power technology company focused on hydrogen fuel-cell stacks and engines. The Company owns a 75% majority interest in Hyster-Yale Maximal Forklift (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd. ("Hyster-Yale Maximal"). Hyster-Yale Maximal is a Chinese manufacturer of utility and standard lift trucks and specialized material handling equipment. Hyster-Yale Maximal designs, manufactures, services and distributes Class 1 electric and Class 5 internal combustion engine counterbalance utility and standard platforms, and Class 2 and Class 3 electric warehouse products for both the local China and global markets under the Hyster ® , Yale ® , Utilev ® , Maximal and SAMUK brands. Hyster-Yale Maximal also designs and produces specialized products in the port equipment and rough terrain forklift markets. The results of Hyster-Yale Maximal are included in the JAPIC segment since the date of acquisition. There have been no changes in the purchase price allocation for Hyster-Yale Maximal during the first quarter of 2019. The Company will complete the purchase price allocation in the second quarter of 2019. Investments in Sumitomo NACCO Forklift Co., Ltd. (“SN”), a 50% -owned joint venture, and HYG Financial Services, Inc. ("HYGFS"), a 20% -owned joint venture, are accounted for by the equity method. SN operates manufacturing facilities in Japan, the Philippines and Vietnam from which the Company purchases certain components, service parts and lift trucks. Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. ("Sumitomo") owns the remaining 50% interest in SN. Each stockholder of SN is entitled to appoint directors representing 50% of the vote of SN’s board of directors. All matters related to policies and programs of operation, manufacturing and sales activities require mutual agreement between the Company and Sumitomo prior to a vote of SN’s board of directors. HYGFS is a joint venture with Wells Fargo Financial Leasing, Inc. (“WF”), formed primarily for the purpose of providing financial services to independent Hyster ® and Yale ® lift truck dealers and 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 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 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 March 31, 2019 and the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , and the results of its cash flows and changes in equity for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 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, 2018 . The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information or notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Reclassification: Certain amounts in the prior period’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

January 1, 2021 The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and the effect on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition	3 Months Ended
Revenue Recognition	Mar. 31, 2019
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block]	Revenue Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied which occurs when control of the trucks, parts, or services are transferred to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The satisfaction of performance obligations under the terms of a revenue contract generally gives rise for the right to payment from the customer. The Company's standard payment terms vary by the type and location of the customer and the products or services offered. Generally, the time between when revenue is recognized and when payment is due is not significant. Given the insignificant days between revenue recognition and receipt of payment, financing components do not exist between the Company and its customers. Taxes collected from customers are excluded from revenue. The estimated costs of product warranties are recognized as expense when the products are sold. See Note 11 for further information on product warranties. The majority of the Company's sales contracts contain performance obligations satisfied at a point in time when title and risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer. Revenues for service contracts are recognized as the services are provided. The Company also records variable consideration in the form of estimated reductions to revenues for customer programs and incentive offerings, including special pricing agreements, promotions and other volume-based incentives. Lift truck sales revenue is recorded net of estimated discounts. The estimated discount amount is based upon historical experience and trend analysis 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 market share or dealer stock and offers certain customers volume rebates if a specified cumulative level of purchases is obtained. For contracts with customers that include multiple performance obligations, judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations specified in these contracts are distinct and should be accounted for as separate revenue transactions for recognition purposes. For such arrangements, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling prices are generally determined based on the prices charged to customers or using expected cost plus margin. Impairment losses recognized on receivables or contract assets were not significant for the first quarter of 2019 and 2018. The Company generally expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are reported on the line “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company pays for shipping and handling activities regardless of when control is transferred and has elected to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good, rather than a promised service. These costs are reported on the line “Cost of sales” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The following table disaggregates revenue by category: THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2019 Lift truck business Americas EMEA JAPIC Bolzoni Nuvera Elims Total Dealer sales $ 284.5 $ 153.8 $ 54.8 $ — $ — $ — $ 493.1 Direct customer sales 120.1 4.0 — — — — 124.1 Aftermarket sales 100.9 25.9 8.3 — — — 135.1 Other 29.0 6.4 0.3 91.8 4.5 (49.5 ) 82.5 Total Revenues $ 534.5 $ 190.1 $ 63.4 $ 91.8 $ 4.5 $ (49.5 ) $ 834.8 THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2018 Lift truck business Americas EMEA JAPIC Bolzoni Nuvera Elims Total Dealer sales $ 301.9 $ 165.3 $ 40.0 $ — $ — $ — $ 507.2 Direct customer sales 81.7 1.7 — — — — 83.4 Aftermarket sales 87.6 27.0 9.2 — — — 123.8 Other 24.7 3.9 0.3 89.5 0.6 (44.9 ) 74.1 Total Revenues $ 495.9 $ 197.9 $ 49.5 $ 89.5 $ 0.6 $ (44.9 ) $ 788.5 Dealer sales are recognized when the Company transfers control based on the shipping terms of the contract, which is generally when the truck is shipped from the manufacturing facility to the dealers. The majority of direct customer sales are to National Account customers. In these transactions, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue when it delivers the product to the customer according to the terms of the contract. Aftermarket sales represent parts sales, extended warranty and maintenance services. For the sale of aftermarket parts, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue when parts are shipped to the customer. When customers are given the right to return eligible parts and accessories, the Company estimates the expected returns based on an analysis of historical experience. The Company adjusts estimated revenues at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration expected to be received changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. The Company recognizes revenue for extended warranty and maintenance agreements based on the standalone selling price over the life of the contract, which reflects the costs to perform under these contracts and corresponds with, and thereby depicts, the transfer of control to the customer. Bolzoni revenue from external customers is primarily the sale of attachments to customers. In these transactions, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue according to the shipping terms of the contract. In the United States, Bolzoni also has revenue for sales of forklift components to HYG plants. Nuvera's revenues include the sale of battery box replacement ("BBR") units to HYG for sale to a dealer and development funding from third-party development agreements. In all revenue transactions, the Company receives cash equal to the invoice price and amount of consideration received and the revenue recognized may vary with changes in marketing incentives. Intercompany revenues between Bolzoni, Nuvera and the lift truck business have been eliminated. Deferred Revenue: The Company defers revenue for transactions that have not met the criteria for recognition at the time payment is collected, including extended warranties and maintenance contracts. In addition, for certain products, services and customer types, the Company collects payment prior to the transfer of control to the customer. Deferred Revenue Balance, December 31, 2018 $ 61.8 Customer deposits and billings 28.0 Revenue recognized (9.3 ) Balance, March 31, 2019 $ 80.5

Leases (Notes)

Leases (Notes)	3 Months Ended
Leases (Notes)	Mar. 31, 2019
Lessee, Operating Leases [Text Block]	Leases On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842, "Leases" ("new lease standard"). The new lease standard was adopted using the optional transition method approach that allows for the cumulative effect adjustment to be recorded without restating prior periods. The Company has elected the practical expedient package related to the identification, classification and accounting for initial direct costs whereby prior conclusions do not have to be reassessed for leases that commenced before the effective date. As the Company will not reassess such conclusions, the Company has not adopted the practical expedient to use hindsight to determine the likelihood of whether a lease will be extended or terminated or whether a purchase option will be exercised. The Company's adoption of the new lease standard included new processes and controls regarding asset financing transactions, financial reporting and a system-related implementation required for the new lease standard. The Company's accounting for finance leases (formerly referred to as capital leases prior to the adoption of the new lease standard) remained substantially unchanged. The impact of the adoption of the new lease standard included the recognition of right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities. The adoption of the new lease standard resulted in additional net lease assets and net lease liabilities of approximately $82.7 million and $80.8 million , respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The $80.8 million is net of $6.2 million of lease related liabilities which had been recorded under previous accounting standards and have been reclassified as a contra-asset under the new standard. In addition, a cumulative adjustment was recorded to increase retained earnings by $1.4 million as of January 1, 2019, for certain sales-leaseback transactions for which profit recognition was deferred previously under accounting standards but is no longer deferred under the new lease standard. The new lease standard did not materially affect the Company's consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows as of March 31, 2019. As of January 1, 2019, the cumulative effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet for the adoption of the new lease standard was as follows: Balance at December 31, 2018 Adjustments due to New Lease Standard Balance at January 1, 2019 Other non-current assets $ 36.4 $ 82.7 $ 119.1 Deferred income tax assets 26.3 (0.5 ) 25.8 Other current liabilities 154.1 16.3 170.4 Other long-term liabilities 130.2 64.5 194.7 Retained earnings 407.3 1.4 408.7 In accordance with the new lease standard, the Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease and the classification of that lease, if applicable, at inception. The Company has elected to not recognize a lease liability or ROU asset for short-term leases (leases with an initial term of twelve months or less). For contracts with lease and non-lease components, the Company has elected not to allocate the contract consideration, and to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments under the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The implicit rate within the operating leases are generally not determinable and the Company has obtained rates from third-party financiers for relevant geographies, currencies and lease terms to determine the incremental borrowing rate at the date of adoption of the new lease standard and at the inception of new leases. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease prepayments, offset by lease incentives. Certain of the Company's leases include options to extend or terminate the lease. An option to extend the lease is considered in connection with determining the ROU asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option. An option to terminate is also considered in connection with determining the ROU asset and lease liability unless it is reasonably certain the Company will not exercise the option. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company has the following amounts recorded on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet: Location on Balance Sheet March 31, 2019 Assets Operating lease assets Other non-current assets $ 81.1 Finance lease assets Property, plant and equipment, net 24.5 Total $ 105.6 Liabilities Current Operating lease liabilities Other current liabilities 18.8 Finance lease liabilities Current maturities of long-term debt 6.9 Long-term Operating lease liabilities Other long-term liabilities 66.7 Finance lease liabilities Long-term debt 10.2 Total $ 102.6 Finance lease assets are recorded net of accumulated amortization of $12.2 million as of March 31, 2019 . In addition, leases with HYGFS included in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2019 , include $15.9 million of ROU assets and $16.0 million of lease liabilities, respectively. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company has the following remaining lease term and weighted average discount rates: Operating Leases Finance Leases Weighted-average remaining lease term in years 6.92 2.81 Weighted-average discount rate 5.12 % 3.28 % For the three months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company recorded the following amounts on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations: THREE MONTHS ENDED Location on Income Statement March 31, 2019 Operating lease cost Cost of sales $ 1.9 Operating lease cost Selling, general and administrative expenses 4.0 Finance lease cost Amortization of leased assets Cost of sales 1.8 Interest on lease liabilities Interest expense 0.1 Other lease costs 1 Selling, general and administrative expenses 0.4 Sublease income Revenues (1.7 ) Total $ 6.5 1 - Includes short-term and variable lease costs. The Company recognizes sublease income 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. Aggregate future minimum rentals to be received under noncancellable subleases of lift trucks as of March 31, 2019 were $24.4 million . For the three months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company recorded the following amounts on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows: THREE MONTHS ENDED March 31, 2019 Cash paid for lease liabilities Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 5.7 Operating cash flows from finance leases 0.1 Financing cash flows from finance leases 1.8 Non-cash amounts related to right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations Operating 3.4 Finance 0.9 Annual maturities of lease liabilities are as follows: Operating Leases Finance Leases Total Amounts remaining in 2019 $ 17.2 $ 6.8 $ 24.0 2020 19.2 6.1 25.3 2021 15.0 3.3 18.3 2022 11.8 1.1 12.9 2023 8.6 0.5 9.1 Thereafter 30.7 0.1 30.8 102.5 17.9 120.4 Less: Interest (17.0 ) (0.8 ) (17.8 ) Net $ 85.5 $ 17.1 $ 102.6

Business Segments	Mar. 31, 2019
Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]	Business Segments The Company’s reportable segments for the lift truck business include the following three management units: the Americas, EMEA and JAPIC. Americas includes operations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Latin America and its corporate headquarters. EMEA includes operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. JAPIC includes operations in the Asia and Pacific regions, including China, as well as the equity earnings of SN operations. In 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of the majority interest in Hyster-Yale Maximal, which is also included in the JAPIC segment from the date of acquisition. 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 for the lift truck business cannot be considered stand-alone entities as all segments are inter-related and integrate into a single global lift truck business. The Company reports the results of both Bolzoni and Nuvera as separate segments. Intercompany sales between Nuvera, Bolzoni and the lift truck business have been eliminated. In 2019, as part of a plan to expand Bolzoni's capabilities in the United States, Bolzoni's North America attachment manufacturing began moving into HYG's Sulligent, Alabama manufacturing facility. As a result, effective January 1, 2019, the Sulligent facility became a Bolzoni facility. Accordingly, the results of the Sulligent facility for the first quarter of 2019 have been included in the Bolzoni segment and the historical results of operations of the Sulligent facility for 2018 have been included in the Bolzoni segment. As part of the reorganization of the two facilities, restructuring costs of approximately $1.4 million were incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2019. See Note 15 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on restructuring costs. Financial information for each reportable segment is presented in the following table: THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31 2019 2018 Revenues from external customers Americas $ 534.5 $ 495.9 EMEA 190.1 197.9 JAPIC 63.4 49.5 Lift truck business 788.0 743.3 Bolzoni 91.8 89.5 Nuvera 4.5 0.6 Eliminations (49.5 ) (44.9 ) Total $ 834.8 $ 788.5 Gross profit (loss) Americas $ 81.4 $ 85.8 EMEA 25.1 25.8 JAPIC 6.1 4.5 Lift truck business 112.6 116.1 Bolzoni 15.6 17.0 Nuvera (1.8 ) (0.9 ) Eliminations (0.2 ) (0.1 ) Total $ 126.2 $ 132.1 Operating profit (loss) Americas $ 15.3 $ 27.9 EMEA — 0.9 JAPIC (4.5 ) (2.2 ) Lift truck business 10.8 26.6 Bolzoni 1.2 2.7 Nuvera (8.4 ) (10.0 ) Eliminations (0.2 ) (0.1 ) Total $ 3.4 $ 19.2 Net income (loss) attributable to stockholders Americas $ 12.1 $ 20.4 EMEA (0.1 ) 1.0 JAPIC (2.4 ) (0.7 ) Lift truck business 9.6 20.7 Bolzoni 0.3 1.9 Nuvera (6.1 ) (7.3 ) Eliminations (0.4 ) (0.4 ) Total $ 3.4 $ 14.9

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	The income tax provision includes U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes and is based on the application of a forecasted annual income tax rate applied to the current quarter's year-to-date pre-tax income or loss. In determining the estimated annual effective income tax rate, the Company analyzes various factors, including projections of the Company's annual earnings, taxing jurisdictions in which the earnings will be generated, the impact of state and local income taxes, the Company's ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards and capital loss carryforwards, and available tax planning alternatives. Discrete items, including the effect of changes in tax laws, tax rates and certain circumstances with respect to valuation allowances or the tax effect of other unusual or nonrecurring transactions or adjustments are reflected in the period in which they occur as an addition to, or reduction from, the income tax provision, rather than included in the estimated effective annual income tax rate. Additionally, the Company's interim effective income tax rate is computed and applied without regard to pre-tax losses where such losses are not expected to generate a current-year tax benefit. A reconciliation of the consolidated federal statutory rate to the reported income tax rate is as follows: THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31 2019 2018 Income before income taxes $ 4.7 $ 19.8 Statutory taxes (21%) $ 1.0 $ 4.2 Interim adjustment 0.4 0.3 Permanent adjustments — 0.3 Discrete items 0.1 0.1 Income tax provision $ 1.5 $ 4.9 Reported income tax rate 31.9 % 24.7 %

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]	Financial Instruments and Derivative Financial Instruments 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. This valuation methodology is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy. At March 31, 2019 , the fair value and carrying value of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding finance leases, was $291.3 million and $292.3 million , respectively. At December 31, 2018 , the fair value and carrying value of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding finance leases, was $281.0 million and $284.2 million , respectively. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to partially reduce risks related to transactions denominated in foreign currencies. These contracts hedge firm commitments and forecasted transactions relating to cash flows associated with sales and purchases denominated in non-functional currencies. The Company offsets fair value amounts related to foreign currency exchange contracts executed with the same counterparty. Changes in the fair value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are effective as hedges are recorded in OCI. Deferred gains or losses are reclassified from OCI to the unaudited condensed 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 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 generally recognized in cost of sales. The Company periodically enters into forward foreign currency contracts that are designated as net investment hedges of the Company's net investment in its foreign subsidiaries. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualified as a hedge of a net investment in foreign currency, the gain or loss is reported in other comprehensive income as part of the cumulative translation adjustment to the extent it is effective. The Company utilizes the forward-rate method of assessing hedge effectiveness. The Company uses cross-currency swaps, which hedge the variability of expected future cash flows that are attributable to foreign currency risk of certain intercompany loans. These agreements include initial and final exchanges of principal and associated interest payments from fixed euro denominated to fixed U.S.-denominated amounts. Changes in the fair value of cross-currency swaps that are effective as hedges are recorded in OCI. Deferred gains or losses are reclassified from OCI to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in the same period as the gains or losses from the underlying transactions are recorded and are generally recognized in other (income) expense and interest expense. 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 and its variable rate financings are predominately based upon the one month LIBOR. 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 unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in the same period as the gains or losses from the underlying transactions are recorded and are generally recognized in interest expense. Cash flows from hedging activities are reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows with the same classification as the hedged item, generally as a component of cash flows from operations. The Company measures its derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis using significant observable inputs. This valuation methodology is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses a present value technique that incorporates yield curves and foreign currency spot rates to value its derivatives and also incorporates the effect of the Company's and its counterparties' credit risk into the valuation. The Company does not currently hold any nonderivative instruments designated as hedges or any derivatives designated as fair value hedges. Foreign Currency Derivatives: The Company held forward foreign currency exchange contracts with total notional amounts of $ 1.0 billion at March 31, 2019 , primarily denominated in euros, U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, British pounds, Swedish kroner, Mexican pesos, Chinese renminbi, Brazilian real and Australian dollars. The Company held forward foreign currency exchange contracts with total notional amounts of $ 1.1 billion at December 31, 2018 , primarily denominated in euros, U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, British pounds, Swedish kroner, Mexican pesos, Chinese renminbi, Brazilian real and Australian dollars. The fair value of these contracts approximated a net liability of $ 30.3 million and $ 19.5 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts that qualify for hedge accounting are generally used to hedge transactions expected to occur within the next 36 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 March 31, 2019 , $ 10.6 million of the amount of net deferred loss included in OCI at March 31, 2019 is expected to be reclassified as expense into the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations over the next twelve months, as the transactions occur. Interest Rate Derivatives: The Company holds certain contracts that hedge interest payments on its $200.0 million term loan (the "Term Loan") borrowings. The following table summarizes the notional amounts, related rates, excluding spreads, and remaining terms of interest rate swap agreements at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 : Notional Amount Average Fixed Rate March 31 December 31 March 31 December 31 2019 2018 2019 2018 Term at March 31, 2019 $ 56.5 $ 56.5 1.94 % 1.94 % Extending to November 2022 $ 81.3 $ 83.5 2.20 % 2.20 % Extending to May 2023 The fair value of all interest rate swap agreements was a net asset of $0.2 million and $ 1.6 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. The mark-to-market effect of interest rate swap agreements that are considered effective as hedges has been included in OCI. Based on market valuations at March 31, 2019 , $0.3 million of the amount included in OCI is expected to be reclassified as income in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations over the next twelve months, as cash flow payments are made in accordance with the interest rate swap agreements.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Disclosure [Text Block]	Retirement 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. and U.K. plans are frozen. Only certain grandfathered employees in the Netherlands still earn retirement benefits under a defined benefit pension plan. All other eligible employees of the Company, including employees whose pension benefits are frozen, receive retirement benefits under defined contribution retirement plans. The Company presents the components of net benefit cost, other than service cost, in other (income) expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for its pension plans. Service cost for the Company's pension plans continues to be reported in operating profit.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , 52% and 51% , respectively, of total inventories were determined using the LIFO method, which consists primarily of manufactured inventories, including service parts, in the United States. The FIFO method is used with respect to all other inventories. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of the year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must be based on management's estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these estimates are subject to change and may be different than the actual inventory levels and costs at the end of the year, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

Product Warranties Disclosures [Abstract]
Product Warranty Disclosure [Text Block]	Product Warranties The Company provides a standard warranty on its lift trucks, generally for twelve months or 1,000 to 2,000 hours . For certain series of lift trucks, the Company provides a standard warranty of one to two years or 2,000 or 4,000 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 separately priced extended warranty agreements for its lift trucks, which generally 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 and the cost of those claims based on historical and anticipated 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 Company's current and long-term warranty obligations, including deferred revenue on extended warranty contracts, are as follows: 2019 Balance at December 31, 2018 $ 56.9 Current year warranty expense 13.0 Change in estimate related to pre-existing warranties 0.5 Payments made (9.6 ) Foreign currency effect (0.2 ) Balance at March 31, 2019 $ 60.6

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 costs will be incurred materially in excess of accruals already recognized.

Guarantees	Mar. 31, 2019
Guarantees [Abstract]
Schedule of Guarantor Obligations [Text Block]	Guarantees Under various financing arrangements for certain customers, including independent 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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were $214.6 million and $192.7 million , respectively. As of March 31, 2019 , 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company generally retains a security interest in the related assets financed such that, in the event the Company 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 March 31, 2019 was approximately $285.6 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 for which it has provided recourse or repurchase obligations. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company did not believe there was a significant risk of non-payment or non-performance of the obligations by these entities; however, there can be no assurance that the risk may not increase in the future. In addition, the Company has an agreement with WF to limit its exposure to losses at certain eligible dealers. Under this agreement, losses related to $52.3 million of recourse or repurchase obligations for these certain eligible dealers are limited to 7.5% of their original loan balance, or $16.4 million as of March 31, 2019 . The $52.3 million is included in the $214.6 million of total amounts subject to recourse or repurchase obligations at March 31, 2019 . 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 HYGFS or other unrelated third parties. HYGFS provides debt and lease financing to both dealers and customers. On occasion, the credit quality of a customer or credit concentration issues within WF may require the Company to provide recourse or repurchase obligations of the lift trucks purchased by customers and financed through HYGFS. At March 31, 2019 , approximately $182.2 million of the Company's total recourse or repurchase obligations of $214.6 million related to transactions with HYGFS. In connection with the joint venture agreement, the Company also provides a guarantee to WF for 20% of HYGFS’ debt with WF, such that the Company would become liable under the terms of HYGFS’ debt agreements with WF in the case of default by HYGFS. At March 31, 2019 , loans from WF to HYGFS totaled $1.2 billion . Although the Company’s contractual guarantee was $248.7 million , the loans by WF to HYGFS are secured by HYGFS’ customer receivables, of which the Company guarantees $182.2 million . Excluding the HYGFS receivables guaranteed by the Company from HYGFS’ loans to WF, the Company’s incremental obligation as a result of this guarantee to WF is $219.4 million , which is secured by 20% of HYGFS' customer receivables and other secured assets of $301.8 million . HYGFS 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 HYGFS to default in future periods. The following table includes the exposure amounts related to the Company's guarantees at March 31, 2019 : HYGFS Total Total recourse or repurchase obligations $ 182.2 $ 214.6 Less: exposure limited for certain dealers 52.3 52.3 Plus: 7.5% of original loan balance 16.4 16.4 146.3 178.7 Incremental obligation related to guarantee to WF 219.4 219.4 Total exposure related to guarantees $ 365.7 $ 398.1

Leases (Policies)	Mar. 31, 2019
Lessor, Leases [Policy Text Block]	The Company recognizes sublease income 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. Aggregate future minimum rentals to be received under noncancellable subleases of lift trucks as of March 31, 2019 were $24.4 million .
Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block]	In accordance with the new lease standard, the Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease and the classification of that lease, if applicable, at inception. The Company has elected to not recognize a lease liability or ROU asset for short-term leases (leases with an initial term of twelve months or less). For contracts with lease and non-lease components, the Company has elected not to allocate the contract consideration, and to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments under the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The implicit rate within the operating leases are generally not determinable and the Company has obtained rates from third-party financiers for relevant geographies, currencies and lease terms to determine the incremental borrowing rate at the date of adoption of the new lease standard and at the inception of new leases. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease prepayments, offset by lease incentives. Certain of the Company's leases include options to extend or terminate the lease. An option to extend the lease is considered in connection with determining the ROU asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option. An option to terminate is also considered in connection with determining the ROU asset and lease liability unless it is reasonably certain the Company will not exercise the option. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]	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 generally recognized in cost of sales. The Company periodically enters into forward foreign currency contracts that are designated as net investment hedges of the Company's net investment in its foreign subsidiaries. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualified as a hedge of a net investment in foreign currency, the gain or loss is reported in other comprehensive income as part of the cumulative translation adjustment to the extent it is effective. The Company utilizes the forward-rate method of assessing hedge effectiveness. The Company uses cross-currency swaps, which hedge the variability of expected future cash flows that are attributable to foreign currency risk of certain intercompany loans. These agreements include initial and final exchanges of principal and associated interest payments from fixed euro denominated to fixed U.S.-denominated amounts. Changes in the fair value of cross-currency swaps that are effective as hedges are recorded in OCI. Deferred gains or losses are reclassified from OCI to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in the same period as the gains or losses from the underlying transactions are recorded and are generally recognized in other (income) expense and interest expense. 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 and its variable rate financings are predominately based upon the one month LIBOR. 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 unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in the same period as the gains or losses from the underlying transactions are recorded and are generally recognized in interest expense. Cash flows from hedging activities are reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows with the same classification as the hedged item, generally as a component of cash flows from operations. The Company measures its derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis using significant observable inputs. This valuation methodology is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses a present value technique that incorporates yield curves and foreign currency spot rates to value its derivatives and also incorporates the effect of the Company's and its counterparties' credit risk into the valuation.

Inventory [Line Items]
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market for last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory or lower of cost or net realizable value for first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , 52% and 51% , respectively, of total inventories were determined using the LIFO method, which consists primarily of manufactured inventories, including service parts, in the United States. The FIFO method is used with respect to all other inventories. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of the year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must be based on management's estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these estimates are subject to change and may be different than the actual inventory levels and costs at the end of the year, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

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.

Revenue, Performance Obligation, Description of Timing	Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied which occurs when control of the trucks, parts, or services are transferred to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The satisfaction of performance obligations under the terms of a revenue contract generally gives rise for the right to payment from the customer. The Company's standard payment terms vary by the type and location of the customer and the products or services offered. Generally, the time between when revenue is recognized and when payment is due is not significant. Given the insignificant days between revenue recognition and receipt of payment, financing components do not exist between the Company and its customers. Taxes collected from customers are excluded from revenue. The estimated costs of product warranties are recognized as expense when the products are sold. See Note 16 for further information on product warranties.
Revenue, Information Used to Assess Variable Consideration Constraint	The Company also records variable consideration in the form of estimated reductions to revenues for customer programs and incentive offerings, including special pricing agreements, promotions and other volume-based incentives. Lift truck sales revenue is recorded net of estimated discounts. The estimated discount amount is based upon historical experience and trend analysis 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 market share or dealer stock and offers certain customers volume rebates if a specified cumulative level of purchases is obtained. customers. From time to time, the Company offers special incentives to increase market share or dealer stock and offers certain customers volume rebates if a specified cumulative level of purchases is obtained.
Revenue, Performance Obligation Satisfied at Point in Time, Transfer of Control	The majority of the Company's sales contracts contain performance obligations satisfied at a point in time when title and risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer. Revenue for service contracts are recognized as the services are provided. Dealer sales are recognized when the Company transfers control based on the shipping terms of the contract, which is generally when the truck is shipped from the manufacturing facility to the dealers. The majority of direct customer sales are to National Account customers. In these transactions, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue when it delivers the product to the customer according to the terms of the contract. Bolzoni revenue is primarily the sale of attachments to customers. In these transactions, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue according to the shipping terms of the contract. Nuvera's revenues are primarily the sale of battery box replacement ("BBR") units to HYG for sale to a dealer.
Revenue, Performance Obligation, Description of Returns and Other Similar Obligations	When customers are given the right to return eligible parts and accessories, the Company estimates the expected returns based on an analysis of historical experience. The Company adjusts estimated revenues at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration expected to be received changes or when the consideration becomes fixed.

Revenue, Performance Obligation Satisfied over Time, Method Used, Description	Aftermarket sales represent parts sales, extended warranty and maintenance services. For the sale of aftermarket parts, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue when parts are shipped to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue for extended warranty and maintenance agreements based on the standalone selling price over the life of the contract, which reflects the costs to perform under these contracts and corresponds with, and thereby depicts, the transfer of control to the customer.
Deferred Revenue, Description 606	The Company defers revenue for transactions that have not met the criteria for recognition at the time payment is collected, including extended warranties and maintenance contracts. In addition, for certain products, services and customer types, the Company collects payment prior to the transfer of control to the customer.

Objectives for Using Net Investment Hedging Instruments	The Company periodically enters into forward foreign currency contracts that are designated as net investment hedges of the Company's net investment in its foreign subsidiaries. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualified as a hedge of a net investment in foreign currency, the gain or loss is reported in other comprehensive income as part of the cumulative translation adjustment to the extent it is effective. The Company utilizes the forward-rate method of assessing hedge effectiveness.
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 Company's interest rate swap agreements and its variable rate financings are predominately based upon the one month LIBOR. 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 unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in the same period as the gains or losses from the underlying transactions are recorded and are generally recognized in interest expense.

These agreements include initial and final exchanges of principal and associated interest payments from fixed euro denominated to fixed U.S.-denominated amounts. Changes in the fair value of cross-currency swaps that are effective as hedges are recorded in OCI. Deferred gains or losses are reclassified from OCI to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in the same period as the gains or losses from the underlying transactions are recorded and are generally recognized in other (income) expense and interest expense.

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. These contracts hedge firm commitments and forecasted transactions relating to cash flows associated with sales and purchases denominated in non-functional currencies. The Company offsets fair value amounts related to foreign currency exchange contracts executed with the same counterparty. Changes in the fair value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are effective as hedges are recorded in OCI. Deferred gains or losses are reclassified from OCI to the unaudited condensed 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.
