Hyster Forklift Serial Number Lookup: Where Do I Find It?

Note: This page is for Hyster forklifts only. To find a serial number for a forklift of a different brand, click here for our other guides. We’re not affiliated with the Hyster Company but we know a lot about Hyster forklifts and we like sharing our knowledge.

Direct Way

The most direct way to do a Hyster forklift serial number lookup is to check the nameplate (also called a data tag). This helpful little plate includes lots of various information about your forklift–how much it can lift, how much it weighs, which model it is, and (most importantly) its serial number. On a Hyster forklift, the nameplate looks like the photo on the left and is often found near the dashboard, like in the photo on the right:

Checking the nameplate is the quickest and easiest method of discerning the serial number of your forklift. But what if the nameplate wears down or has fallen off? You’re not out of luck just yet. Sometimes, a forklift’s serial number can be found in its electronic system or physically stamped on its frame. Below is a list of many different models of Hyster forklifts and where their serial numbers can be found.
