About Hyster
Hyster's name is said to come from loggers crying "hoist'er" as they lifted a load in 1929, according to Hyster-Yale. Hyster designs and builds forklifts and container handling equipment for demanding material-handling work, and is part of Hyster-Yale with Yale.
Hyster equipment
Hyster builds warehouse trucks, counterbalance forklifts, big trucks and reach stackers used in ports, lumber yards, steel and manufacturing.
How lenders view forklifts
Forklifts are widely resold. Lenders review capacity, power type, hours and mast. Large container handlers and big trucks are high-value assets reviewed against port or yard contracts.
Financing Hyster equipment
Fleets are often financed together, and leases with service are common.
How Hyster equipment financing works
Most Hyster purchases are financed with an equipment loan or a lease. A loan gives you ownership from day one, with the lender registering a security interest (PPSA in Canada, UCC in the USA). A lease keeps title with the lessor and can lower the monthly payment, with a buyout, renewal or return option at the end.
Hyster equipment we help finance
Financing Hyster forklifts
Forklifts are financed by warehouses, manufacturers and distributors. Lenders look at capacity, power type (electric, propane or diesel), hours and battery condition for electric units. Forklifts are often financed in fleets, and some lenders offer structures that include service.
Hyster forklifts on our eligible equipment list include Hyster (forklifts).
What lenders check on a Hyster forklift
Lenders look at the machine type, installation and tooling costs, and the contracts or production the equipment supports. Soft costs such as rigging and installation may be included, subject to lender approval.
Expect to provide a credit application, recent business bank statements, the dealer quote or bill of sale with serial number and age and usage, and financial statements or tax returns for larger amounts.

Tax treatment of Hyster equipment
In Canada, machinery used to manufacture or process goods has its own CCA classes (Class 43 and Class 53), and which one applies depends on the asset and purchase date. Confirm the class with your accountant. With a loan, you generally claim capital cost allowance and deduct interest. With a true operating lease, lease payments are generally deductible instead. See the CRA classes of depreciable property. In the USA, Section 179 and bonus depreciation may apply; see IRS Publication 946. Always confirm with your accountant.
End-of-term options on a Hyster lease
A $1 buyout lease is built for ownership: you keep the machine for a nominal amount at the end. A fair market value lease usually has a lower payment, and at the end you can buy the equipment at its market value, return it or upgrade. Read the return conditions, such as hour limits and wear standards, before you sign.
Who finances Hyster equipment
Manufacturing: fabricators, machine shops, plastics and packaging manufacturers, food processors and contract manufacturers finance Hyster equipment to take on new work, replace aging units or add capacity.
The right structure depends on how the equipment earns money. A machine tied to a long contract can support a longer term, while seasonal work may call for skip or seasonal payments that some lenders offer.
Questions to ask the dealer or seller before you finance
- What is the exact model year, serial number and age and usage?
- Is there a service history or recent inspection report?
- Is any warranty or extended coverage included, and does it transfer?
- Are attachments, delivery, installation and taxes itemized on the quote?
- For a private sale, is the equipment free of liens, and who will provide the bill of sale?
Insurance on financed Hyster equipment
Lenders and lessors require the equipment to be insured for its replacement or financed value, with the lender named as loss payee, before funding. Some also ask for liability coverage. Getting an insurance quote early avoids last-minute delays.
