Hyster: A Legacy of Innovation in Material Handling Equipment

Founded in 1929 in Portland, Oregon, Hyster began as the Willamette-Ersted Company, specializing in the production of lifting machines for the timber industry. The company's name, "Hyster," is believed to have originated from the logging term "hoist 'er," a call used by loggers when a load was ready to be lifted. Initially, Hyster focused on manufacturing winches and lifting machines tailored for the demanding logging sector. In 1934, the company introduced its first forklift truck, marking its foray into the material handling equipment industry. Over the years, Hyster expanded its product line to include a wide range of forklifts and material handling solutions.
