HYSTER-YALE MATERIALS HANDLING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1995

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements
of  Hyster-Yale  Materials Handling, Inc. and  subsidiaries  (the
Company) include the accounts of  Hyster-Yale Materials Handling,
Inc.     (Hyster-Yale),   a   97%  owned  subsidiary   of   NACCO
Industries,  Inc.   (NACCO),  and its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries
NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc. and NACCO Materials Handling
Holding  Co.   The  Company  primarily  does  business  as  NACCO
Materials  Handling Group, Inc. with two product  brands,  Hyster
and Yale.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance  with
generally  accepted accounting principles for  interim  financial
information and with 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  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,  1995,
and  the  results of its operations and cash flows for the  three
month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 have been included.

Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 1995
are  not  necessarily  indicative of  the  results  that  may  be
expected  for  the  year ended December 31,  1995.   For  further
information,  refer to the consolidated financial statements  and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

Certain  amounts  in  the  prior periods' unaudited  consolidated
financial  statements have been reclassified to  conform  to  the
current periods' presentation.

Note B - Debt Refinancing

On  February  28, 1995 the Company entered into a  new  long-term
financing  agreement  to  replace  the  senior  credit   facility
existing at December 31, 1994 and refinance the majority  of  its
long-term debt.  The new agreement provides the Company  with  an
unsecured $350 million revolving credit facility with a five year
maturity and an extension option and interest rates comparable to
its  former  senior  credit facility.   The  new  agreement  also
provides the Company with reduced interest rates upon achievement
of  certain  financial performance targets.  With the new  credit
agreement  in  place, the Company can redeem the remaining  $78.5
million of its 12 3/8% subordinated debentures and intends to  do
so in August 1995.

In  connection with the refinancing, an extraordinary  charge  of
$1.3  million, net of taxes was recorded in the first quarter  of
1995 to write off the deferred financing fees remaining from  the
former  senior credit facility.  When the remaining  subordinated
debentures  are redeemed, an additional extraordinary  charge  of
approximately $2.1 million, net of taxes will be recorded.

                                       ======    ======      ======

Increased   sales  volume  in  1995  reflected  the  continued
economic   improvement  in  North  America  and   Europe   and
improvements in global market share.   While price discounting
was prevalent in the forklift industry, modest price increases
were  initiated in mid-1994 which favorably impacted the first
quarter of 1995.  Service parts volume and income improved  in
North  America and Europe, primarily due to improved economies
and new dealers in Europe.

Gross  profit decreased to 19.6% of sales in the first quarter
of  1995 from 20.6% in the first quarter of 1994 due to higher
raw  materials prices and unfavorable labor variances  related
to  vendor parts shortages.  These higher costs were partially
offset  by  the  higher  absorption  of  fixed  costs  due  to
increased  production volume.  Other operating  expenses  were
higher in 1995 due primarily to higher volume related customer
service  costs, higher profit-based compensation  and  benefit
expenses,  and  general inflation. Operating profit  was  also
adversely affected in 1995 by the stronger Japanese Yen  which
increased  the  cost of purchases sourced from  Japan,  offset
partially by the strength of the British Pound versus the U.S.
Dollar which translated into improved European results.

The  Company's  backlog  of  orders  at  March  31,  1995  was
approximately  25,200 units compared to the  24,600  units  at
December   31,  1994.   Backlog  has  increased  slightly   as
increased orders have outpaced the record levels of production
in 1995.

FINANCIAL REVIEW  (Continued)

Other
Interest expense during the three month period of 1995 was $7.5
million compared to $8.7 million in the same period a year ago.
Lower  1995  interest  expense can be attributed  to  the  1994
partial   retirement   of   subordinated  debentures.    Equity
earnings  from  the Company's investment in Sumitomo-Yale  were
$0.4  million  in  1995 compared to a loss of $0.6  million  in
1994.   The improved results related to higher sales of product
to the Company to meet demand in the United States and Europe.

The  Company  has  entered into unsecured  interest  rate  swap
agreements  for a portion of its floating rate debt to  provide
protection against significant increases in interest rates.  At
March 31, 1995, the Company had outstanding interest rate  swap
agreements  with  total  notional  principal  amounts  of  $130
million.  The Company will continue to evaluate its exposure to
floating rate debt.

Provision for Income Taxes
The  Company recorded a tax provision of $6.9 million on pretax
income  of $16.5 million in 1995 for an effective tax  rate  of
41.4%.  The higher than statutory rate resulted primarily  from
the  nondeductibility of goodwill amortization.  This  compares
to  a  tax provision of $1.0 million on pretax income  of  $1.9
million in the first quarter of 1994 for an effective tax  rate
of  53.5%.   The higher level of pretax income in 1995  reduced
the effect of the nondeductible goodwill amortization, and thus
lowered the effective tax rate.

Extraordinary Charge
As   discussed   in  Note  B  of  the  accompanying   unaudited
consolidated financial statements, the extraordinary charge  of
$1.3  million,  net  of $0.9 million in tax  benefits  in  1995
represents the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees
associated  with the former senior credit facility,  refinanced
in the first quarter of 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As   discussed   in  Note  B  of  the  accompanying   unaudited
consolidated financial statements, the Company entered  into  a
new  credit agreement as of February 28, 1995 which provides  a
$350 million unsecured revolving credit facility.

The  Company believes it can adequately meet all of its current
and   long-term   commitments  and  operating   needs   through
internally  generated  funds  and  borrowings  available  under
current  credit  agreements.  As of March 31,  1995  there  was
$205.0  million available under the unsecured revolving  credit
facility.

Expenditures  for  property,  plant  and  equipment  were  $8.2
million  for  the first three months of 1995.  The majority  of
these expenditures were for manufacturing expansion and tooling
related  to  future  production  of  new  products.   Estimated
capital  expenditures  for  the  remainder  of  1995  will   be
approximately  $30.0 million.  Principal sources  of  financing
for  these capital expenditures are internally generated funds,
bank  borrowings  and assistance grants from local  development
boards.
