Hyster started loosing SOM many years ago - when they went from a privately held company headquartered in Danville, Il with big truck produced out of Portland, Oregon to a public company (NACCO take over - Now Hyster-Yale Group). In big trucks they were the leader especially in the lumber & timber industry but others slowly ate away at their market presence as they kept reorganizing. Their dealer organization seems to be changing shirts for a variety of reasons.
As always been said when some one is in the #1 position their next move can only be some number greater than 1. Time changes everything. Linde used to be #1 not so many years ago.
