Two men were taken to the Townsville Hospital after an industrial incident involving a forklift at an Ingham Rd business on Tuesday.

The Townsville Bulletin reports that police, fire and ambulance crews were called to a business at Bohle, where a man driving a forklift hit, but did not run over, another man.

A Queensland Ambulance spokeswoman says a 64-year-old and 55-year-old were treated at the scene - one for a medical condition and the other for neck pain.

Both were then transported to hospital in a stable condition.
