OFFER BY SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
TO EXCHANGE UP TO 372,703 SHARES OF
CLASS A COMMON STOCK
FOR 372,703 SHARES OF
CLASS B COMMON STOCK
OF
NACCO INDUSTRIES, INC.

     Under the terms of NACCO’s certificate of incorporation and a stockholders’ agreement, shares of Class B common stock are generally not transferable except to persons who are permitted transferees as specified in those documents. In accordance with those documents, parties to the stockholders’ agreement may transfer shares of Class B common stock to the selling stockholders for shares of Class A common stock, on a share for share basis. As a result, the selling stockholders named in this prospectus are offering to transfer from time to time up to 372,703 shares of our Class A common stock under this prospectus on a share for share basis, upon receipt, from time to time of shares of our Class B common stock from holders of Class B common stock that are parties to the stockholders’ agreement and are permitted to transfer those shares to the selling stockholders pursuant to our certificate of incorporation and the stockholders’ agreement. Each exchange will result in one or more of the selling stockholders transferring one share of Class A common stock for each share of Class B common stock transferred to the selling stockholder or selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from these transactions.

     As of the date of this prospectus, the selling stockholders have already exchanged 429,933 shares of Class A common stock registered by the registration statement and prospectus initially filed on July 13, 2001, as amended, and declared effective on November 19, 2001, the registration statement and prospectus initially filed on September 5, 2003, as amended, and declared effective on May 3, 2004, and the registration statement and prospectus initially filed on January 12, 2005, as amended, and initially declared effective on February 7, 2005. The remaining shares of Class A common stock registered by those previously filed registration statements and prospectuses are included in the 372,703 shares of Class A common stock offered by this prospectus. See “Selling Stockholders” beginning on page 20.

     Our Class A common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “NC.” On March 20, 2006, the last sale price of our Class A common stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange was $150.40 per share. Our Class B common stock is not publicly traded. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share.

     Persons who receive shares of Class A common stock from the selling stockholders may resell those shares of Class A common stock in brokerage transactions on the New York Stock Exchange in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, except that the one-year holding period requirement of Rule 144 will not apply.

Please consider carefully the “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6.

RISK FACTORS

     Prospective investors in the shares of Class A common stock offered hereby should consider carefully the following risk factors, in addition to the other information contained in this prospectus. This prospectus contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause a material difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed below, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this prospectus and the documents incorporated into this prospectus by reference.

Risks Related to This Offering

     The voting power of holders of Class B common stock who transfer their shares to the selling stockholders and receive shares of Class A common stock will diminish.

     Holders of Class B common stock have ten votes per share of Class B common stock, while holders of Class A common stock have one vote per share of Class A common stock. Holders of Class B common stock who transfer their shares to the selling stockholders in exchange for shares of Class A common stock will reduce their voting power.

     The voting power of the selling stockholders will increase if the selling stockholders exchange their shares of Class A common stock for shares of Class B common stock in the exchange offers.

     Holders of Class A common stock and holders of Class B common stock vote together on matters submitted to a vote of NACCO’s stockholders. Consequently, if holders of Class B common stock transfer their shares of Class B common stock to the selling stockholders, the voting power of the selling stockholders will increase. Before this exchange offer, the selling stockholders collectively controlled 53.97% of the voting power of outstanding shares of NACCO’s common stock based on the number of outstanding shares as of February 17, 2006. As of that date, there were 6,615,089 shares of Class A common stock and 1,611,348 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. If all shares of Class A common stock offered by this prospectus are exchanged for shares of Class B common stock and the selling stockholders act together when voting their shares of Class B common stock, they will control 68.73% of the voting power of outstanding shares of NACCO’s common stock based on the number of outstanding shares as of February 17, 2006, as well as the outcome of any class vote of the Class B common stock that requires the vote of at least a majority of the outstanding Class B common stock.

NACCO Materials Handling Group

     The cost of raw materials, including steel, used by NACCO Materials Handling Group’s products has and may continue to fluctuate, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

     NACCO Materials Handling Group manufactures products that include raw materials that consist of steel, rubber, castings and counterweights. NACCO Materials Handling Group also purchases parts provided by suppliers that are manufactured from castings and steel. The cost of these parts is impacted by the same economic conditions that impact the cost of the parts that NACCO Materials Handling Group manufactures. The cost to manufacture lift trucks and related service parts has been and will continue to be affected by fluctuations in prices for these raw materials. If costs increase, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

     The pricing and costs of NACCO Materials Handling Group’s products have been and may continue to be impacted by foreign currency fluctuations, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

     Because NACCO Materials Handling Group conducts transactions in various foreign currencies, including the euro, the Australian dollar, the Japanese yen and the British pound sterling, its lift truck pricing structure and that of some of its competitors is subject to the effects of fluctuations in the value of these foreign currencies and fluctuations in the related currency exchange rates. As a result, NACCO Materials Handling Group’s costs and sales have historically been affected by, and may continue to be affected by, these fluctuations. These fluctuations historically have adversely affected, and in the future could materially adversely affect, our results of operations and financial condition.

     NACCO Materials Handling Group depends on a limited number of suppliers for specific critical components.

     NACCO Materials Handling Group depends on a limited number of suppliers for some of its critical components, including diesel and gasoline engines and cast-iron counterweights used to counterbalance some lift trucks. Some of these critical components are imported and subject to regulation, such as inspection by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Our results of operations could be adversely affected if NACCO Materials Handling Group is unable to obtain these critical components, or if the costs of these critical components were to increase significantly, due to regulatory compliance or otherwise, and NACCO Materials Handling Group was unable to pass the cost increases on to its customers.

     NACCO Materials Handling Group’s lift truck business is cyclical. Any downturn in the general economy could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

     NACCO Materials Handling Group’s lift truck business historically has been cyclical. Fluctuations in the rate of orders for lift trucks reflect the capital investment decisions of NACCO Materials Handling Group’s customers, which depend to a certain extent on the general level of economic activity in the various industries that the lift truck customers serve. During economic downturns, customers tend to delay new lift truck purchases. Consequently, NACCO Materials Handling Group has experienced, and in the future will experience, significant fluctuations in its revenues and net income. If there is a downturn in the general economy, or in the industries served by NACCO Materials Handling Group’s lift truck customers, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

     If the capital goods market worsens, the cost saving efforts implemented by NACCO Materials Handling Group may not be sufficient to achieve the benefits NACCO Materials Handling Group expects.

     In 2000, NACCO Materials Handling Group began implementing a series of restructuring programs, which included the closure of NACCO Materials Handling Group’s Danville, Illinois assembly facility, the phase-out of its Lenoir, North Carolina facility, labor and overhead reductions and the restructuring of NACCO Materials Handling Group’s other manufacturing facilities and owned dealers, to improve profits and margins despite decreased revenues. If the economy or the capital goods market declines, NACCO Materials Handling Group’s revenues could decline. If revenues are lower than expected, the efforts implemented at NACCO Materials Handling Group may not achieve the benefits NACCO Materials Handling Group expects. NACCO Materials Handling Group may be forced to take additional cost savings steps that could result in additional charges and materially affect its ability to compete or implement its business strategies.

     Introduction of new products will require funding at current or higher levels, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

     Product development and product introduction costs related to the new product development programs that are part of NACCO Materials Handling Group’s Global Cost Reduction Program are expected to continue at current high levels through 2006. The product development and product introduction expenses could be higher than projected and such higher costs would have an adverse impact on future results of operations.

     If NACCO Materials Handling Group’s Global Cost Reduction Program, including the introduction of new products, does not prove effective, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

     Changes in the timing of implementation of certain plant projects in Europe as part of NACCO Materials Handling Group’s Global Cost Reduction Program encompassing lean manufacturing, global procurement, the transfer of processes and sourcing to lower cost locations, component commonality, overhead cost reductions and improvements in its owned dealers have resulted in delays in the expected recognition of future costs and realization of future benefits. Although the primary benefit of the restructuring program was an anticipated reduction in fixed factory costs, the overall results of the program could vary depending on unit volumes and the resulting effect on manufacturing efficiencies. As such, if future industry demand levels are lower than historical industry demand cycles would indicate, the actual annual cost savings could be lower than expected. If NACCO Materials Handling Group is unable to successfully implement the Global Cost Reduction Program, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

     If cost saving efforts implemented for NACCO Materials Handling Group’s owned dealers do not continue to be effective, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

     Since June 1997, NACCO Materials Handling Group has acquired two dealers in the Americas, which it combined into one dealer, 12 dealers and one rental company in Europe and 12 dealers and two rental companies in Asia-Pacific. In 2001, NACCO Materials Handling Group’s net loss attributable to owned dealers increased substantially compared to 2000. To improve the profitability of owned dealers, NACCO Materials Handling Group has engaged in effective restructuring activities with respect to the European and American owned dealers in 2001, including the sale of certain dealers in Germany in 2001 and the sale of its only U.S. dealer in January 2003. Other restructuring activities included lease termination costs and severance and other employee benefits to be paid to approximately 140 terminated employees at owned dealers in Europe. As of December 31, 2005, NACCO Materials Handling Group had four dealerships and rental companies in Europe and nine dealerships and rental companies in Asia-Pacific. However, if the restructuring activities for the European owned dealers do not continue to be effective, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

     Competition may materially adversely affect our results of operations.

     NACCO Materials Handling Group experiences intense competition in the sale of lift trucks and aftermarket parts. Competition in the lift truck industry is based primarily on strength and quality of dealers, brand loyalty, customer service, new lift truck sales prices, availability of products and aftermarket parts, comprehensive product line offering, product performance, product quality and features and the cost of ownership over the life of the lift truck. NACCO Materials Handling Group competes with several global full-line manufacturers that operate in all major markets. These manufacturers may have greater financial resources and less debt than NACCO Materials Handling Group, which may enable them to commit larger amounts of capital in response to changing market conditions, and lower costs of

manufacturing. If NACCO Materials Handling Group fails to compete effectively, our earnings and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

     NACCO Materials Handling Group relies primarily on its network of dealers to sell its lift trucks and aftermarket parts and has no direct control over sales by those dealers to customers. If NACCO Materials Handling Group’s independent dealers become ineffective or perform poorly, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

     NACCO Materials Handling Group relies primarily on independent dealers, rather than wholly owned dealers, for sales of its lift trucks and aftermarket parts. Sales of NACCO Materials Handling Group’s products are therefore subject to the quality and effectiveness of the dealers, who are generally not subject to NACCO Materials Handling Group’s direct control. As a result, our earnings and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by ineffective dealers.

     The expiration of existing anti-dumping duties and manufacturing by Japanese competitors in the United States could adversely affect NACCO Materials Handling Group’s competitive position, revenues, results of operations and financial condition.

     Certain Japanese-built internal combustion engine lift trucks in the 1 to 8 ton capacity range imported into the United States were subject to an anti-dumping duty between 1988 and 2005. The anti-dumping duty rates in effect through 2005 ranged from 7.39% to 56.81% depending on the manufacturer or importer. Because the anti-dumping duty order expired in December 2005, NACCO Materials Handling Group’s Japanese competitors might be able to import lift trucks for sale at a cost below fair market value. If NACCO Materials Handling Group were to lower its prices to maintain market share, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. If NACCO Materials Handling Group does not lower its prices, its competitive position, revenues, results of operation and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

     NACCO Materials Handling Group’s business may be subject to retaliatory duties imposed by the European Union.

     As a result of certain rulings by the World Trade Organization, or the WTO, with respect to tax benefits granted to U.S. exporters under U.S. tax laws, a portion of NACCO Materials Handling Group’s products exported into European Union countries during 2004 were subject to an additional duty. The additional duty was 5% ad valorem in March 2004 and increased 1% each month thereafter up to a maximum of 17%. Effective January 1, 2005, the council of the European Union suspended the additional customs duties on imports of certain NACCO Materials Handling Group products originating in the United States, subject to a determination by the WTO whether certain aspects of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, or the Jobs Act, are consistent with the U.S.’s WTO obligation. On February 13, 2006, a WTO appeals panel issued a report that upholds a compliance panel finding that the Jobs Act is not consistent with the U.S.’s WTO obligation. The European Union announced that if WTO members formally accept the report it may resume the duties that had been in place as of December 31, 2004. These additional duties will be set at 14%, the rate in effect when the duties were suspended in 2004, and will rise 1% each month until a ceiling rate of 17% is reached. The duties will apply to the same broad grouping of goods that were affected before the enactment of the Jobs Act, but are only expected to be imposed through December 2006. The additional duties will have an adverse effect on NACCO Materials Handling Group’s financial position and results of operations. In addition, NACCO Materials Handling Group’s business in the past has been affected by trade disputes between the United States and Europe. In the future, to the extent NACCO Materials Handling Group is affected by trade disputes and increased tariffs are levied on its goods, its results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

     NACCO Materials Handling Group’s actual liabilities relating to pending lawsuits may exceed its expectations.

     NACCO Materials Handling Group is a defendant in pending lawsuits involving, among other things, product liability claims. NACCO Materials Handling Group cannot be sure that it will succeed in defending these claims, that judgments will not be rendered against NACCO Materials Handling Group with respect to any or all of these proceedings or that reserves set aside or insurance policies will be adequate to cover any such judgments. We could incur a charge to earnings if reserves prove to be inadequate, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity for the period in which the charge is taken and any judgment or settlement amount is paid.

     NACCO Materials Handling Group has guaranteed, or is subject to repurchase or recourse obligations with respect to, financing arrangements of some of its customers.

     Through arrangements with General Electric Capital Corporation and others, dealers and other customers are provided financing for new lift trucks in the United States and in major countries of the world outside of the United States. Through these arrangements, NACCO Materials Handling Group’s dealers and certain customers are extended credit for the purchase of lift trucks to be placed in the dealer’s floor plan inventory or the financing of lift trucks that are sold or leased to customers. For some of these arrangements, NACCO Materials Handling Group provides standby recourse obligations, guarantees or repurchase obligations such that it would become obligated in the event of default by the dealer or customer. Total amounts subject to these types of obligations at December 31, 2005 were $216.2 million. Generally, NACCO Materials Handling Group maintains a perfected security interest in the assets financed such that, in the event that it becomes obligated under the terms of the standby recourse obligations, guarantees or repurchase obligations, it may take title to the assets financed. NACCO Materials Handling Group cannot be certain, however, that the security interest will equal or exceed the amount of the standby recourse obligations, guarantees or repurchase obligations. In addition, NACCO Materials Handling Group cannot be certain that losses under the terms of the standby recourse obligations, guarantees or repurchase obligations will not exceed the reserves that it has set aside in its consolidated financial statements. We could incur a charge to earnings if our reserves prove to be inadequate, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity for the period in which the charge is taken.

NACCO Materials Handling Group is subject to risks relating to its foreign operations.

     Foreign operations represent a significant portion of NACCO Materials Handling Group’s business. NACCO Materials Handling Group expects revenue from foreign markets to continue to represent a significant portion of NACCO Materials Handling Group’s total revenue. NACCO Materials Handling Group owns or leases manufacturing facilities in Brazil, Italy, Mexico, The Netherlands, Northern Ireland and Scotland, and owns interests in joint ventures with facilities in China, Japan and the Philippines. It also sells domestically produced products to foreign customers and sells foreign produced products to domestic customers. NACCO Materials Handling Group’s foreign operations are subject to additional risks, which include:

	•		potential political, economic and social instability in the foreign countries in which NACCO Materials Handling Group operates;
	•		currency risks, see above under the heading “The pricing and costs of NACCO Materials Handling Group’s products have been and may continue to be impacted by foreign currency fluctuations, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations;”
	•		imposition of or increases in currency exchange controls;
	•		potential inflation in the applicable foreign economies;
	•		imposition of or increases in import duties and other tariffs on NACCO Materials Handling Group’s products;
	•		imposition of or increases in foreign taxation of earnings and withholding on payments received by NACCO Materials Handling Group from its subsidiaries;
	•		regulatory changes affecting international operations; and
	•		stringent labor regulations.

     Part of the strategy to expand NACCO Materials Handling Group’s worldwide market share and decrease costs is strengthening its international distribution network and sourcing basic components in foreign countries. Implementation of this strategy may increase the impact of the risks described above and there can be no assurance that such risks will not have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

     NACCO Materials Handling Group’s actual liabilities relating to environmental matters may exceed its expectations.

     NACCO Materials Handling Group’s manufacturing operations are subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, including those governing the management and disposal of hazardous substances. NACCO Materials Handling Group Retail’s operations are particularly affected by laws and regulations relating to the disposal of cleaning solvents and wastewater and the use of and disposal of petroleum products from underground and above-ground storage tanks. If NACCO Materials Handling Group fails to comply with these laws or its environmental permits, then it could incur substantial costs, including cleanup costs, fines and civil and criminal sanctions. In addition, future changes to environmental laws could require NACCO Materials Handling Group to incur significant additional expense or restrict operations.

     In addition, NACCO Materials Handling Group’s products may be subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, including those governing vehicle exhaust. Regulatory agencies in the United States and Europe have issued or proposed various regulations and directives designed to reduce emissions from spark ignited engines and diesel engines used in off-road vehicles, such as industrial lift trucks. These regulations require NACCO Materials Handling Group and other lift truck manufacturers to incur costs to modify designs and manufacturing processes and to perform additional testing and reporting.

     NACCO Materials Handling Group is investigating or remediating historical contamination at some current and former sites caused by its operations or those of businesses it acquired. NACCO Materials Handling Group has also been named as a potentially responsible party for cleanup costs under the so-called

Superfund law at several third-party sites where NACCO Materials Handling Group (or its predecessors) disposed of wastes in the past. Under the Superfund law and often under similar state laws, the entire cost of cleanup can be imposed on any one of the statutorily liable parties, without regard to fault. While NACCO Materials Handling Group is not currently aware that any material outstanding claims or obligations exist with regard to these sites, the discovery of additional contamination at these or other sites could result in significant cleanup costs that could have a material adverse effect on NACCO Materials Handling Group’s financial conditions and results of operations.

     In connection with any acquisition made by NACCO Materials Handling Group, NACCO Materials Handling Group could, under some circumstances, be held financially liable for or suffer other adverse effects due to environmental violations or contamination caused by prior owners of businesses NACCO Materials Handling Group has acquired. In addition, under some of the agreements through which NACCO Materials Handling Group has sold businesses or assets, NACCO Materials Handling Group has retained responsibility for certain contingent environmental liabilities arising from pre-closing operations. These liabilities may not arise, if at all, until years later and could require NACCO Materials Handling Group to incur significant additional expenses, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

NACCO Housewares Group

     The increasing concentration of Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex’s household appliance customer base could negatively affect sales levels or profits.

     Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex sells a substantial quantity of its products to mass merchandisers, national department stores, variety store chains, drug store chains, specialty home retailers and other retail outlets. These retailers generally purchase a limited selection of small electric appliances. As a result, Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex competes for retail shelf space with its competitors. As the retail industry becomes more concentrated, competition for sales to these retailers may become greater. Also, in recent years some major retailers, including Kmart, have filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. If Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex were to lose any major retail customer or if other major retail customers were to go bankrupt, Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex might be unable to find alternate distribution sources. Any of the foregoing factors could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

     The appliance industry is consolidating, which could have a material adverse effect on our success.

     Over the past several years, the household appliance industry has undergone substantial consolidation, and further consolidation is likely. As a result of this consolidation, the household appliance industry could largely consist of a limited number of large manufacturers. To the extent that Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex does not continue to be a major participant in the industry, its ability to compete effectively with these larger manufacturers could be negatively impacted. As a result, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

     Our Housewares Group is subject to risks relating to its dependence on Chinese sources for many of its products.

     Our Housewares Group obtains a substantial quantity of its products from sources in China. Dependence upon suppliers in China involves risks, which include:

	•		potential political, economic and social instability in China;
	•		regulatory issues involved in dealing with foreign suppliers and in exporting and importing products;
	•		currency risks, see above under the heading “The pricing and costs of NACCO Materials Handling Group’s products have been and may continue to be impacted by foreign currency fluctuations, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations;”
	•		uncertainties involving the ability to transport products to Chinese ports for distribution; and
	•		uncertainties involving the costs to transport products from China.

Any of these risks could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

Competition may materially adversely affect our results of operations.

     The household appliance industry does not have onerous entry barriers. As a result, NACCO Housewares Group competes with many small manufacturers and distributors of housewares products. Additional competitors may also enter this market and cause competition to intensify. In particular, manufacturers and distributors of household appliances compete for shelf space allocated by retailers to their products. If our Housewares Group fails to compete effectively with these smaller manufacturers and distributors, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

     We depend on consumer spending, which fluctuates for a variety of reasons, including seasonality.

     Sales of our Housewares Group’ products are related to consumer spending. Any downturn in the general economy or a shift in consumer spending away from small electric appliances would adversely affect its business. In addition, the market for small electric appliances is highly seasonal in nature. NACCO Housewares Group often recognizes a substantial portion of its sales in the last half of the year. Accordingly, quarter-to-quarter comparisons of past operating results of NACCO Housewares Group are meaningful, if at all, only when comparing equivalent time periods. Any economic downturn, decrease in consumer spending or a shift in consumer spending away from small electric appliances could materially adversely impact our results of operations.

North American Coal

     Termination of long-term mining sales contracts could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

     Substantially all of North American Coal’s revenues and profits are derived from long-term mining sales contracts. The contracts for North American Coal’s project mining subsidiaries permit the customer under some conditions of default to acquire the assets or stock of the project mining subsidiary for an amount roughly equal to book value. In one case, the customer may elect to acquire the stock of the subsidiary after a specified period of time, for any reason, in exchange for payments to North American Coal on coal mined at that facility in the future. In addition, the customer of San Miguel can terminate the contract for convenience at any time. If any of North American Coal’s long-term mining contracts were terminated, results of operations could be materially adversely affected to the extent that North American Coal is unable to find alternative customers at the same level of profitability.

     North American Coal’s unconsolidated project mining subsidiaries are subject to risks created by changes in customer demand, inflationary adjustments and tax rates.

     The contracts with the unconsolidated project mining subsidiaries’ utility customers allow each mine to sell lignite coal at a price based on actual cost plus an agreed pre-tax profit per ton. Unconsolidated project mining subsidiary customers pay on a cost-plus basis only for the coal that they consume and use. As a result, reduced coal usage by customers, including, but not limited to, unanticipated weather conditions and scheduled and unscheduled power plant outages, could have an adverse impact on our results of operations. Because of the contractual price formulas for the sale of coal and mining services by these unconsolidated project mining subsidiaries, the profitability of these operations is also subject to fluctuations in inflationary adjustments (or lack thereof) that can impact the per ton profit or management fee paid for the coal and taxes applicable to North American Coal’s income on that coal.

     North American Coal’s other mining operations, its consolidated mining operations, are subject to risks created by its capital investment in the mines, the costs of mining the coal and the dragline mining equipment, in addition to risks created by changes in customer demand, inflationary adjustments and tax rates.

     Our consolidated mining operations are comprised of the San Miguel Lignite Mining Operations, Red River Mining Company and Mississippi Lignite Mining Company, royalties, dragline mining services and other activities. The profitability of these consolidated mining operations is subject to the risk of loss of its investment in these mining operations, as well as increases in the cost of mining the coal. Because the costs of these consolidated mining operations are not passed on to its customers, increased costs at these operations would have an adverse effect on North American Coal’s results of operations. North American Coal’s operations are also subject to customer demand, including but not limited to fluctuations in demand due to unanticipated weather conditions, the emergence of unidentified adverse mining conditions, power plant outages, inflationary adjustments and tax risks described above with respect to its unconsolidated project mining subsidiaries. These factors could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

     Mining operations are vulnerable to weather and other conditions that are beyond our control.

     Many conditions beyond North American Coal’s control can decrease the use of coal by customers. These conditions include weather, the emergence of unidentified adverse mining conditions and unexpected maintenance problems which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

     Government regulations could impose costly requirements on North American Coal.

     The coal mining industry is subject to regulation by federal, state and local authorities on matters concerning the health and safety of employees, land use, permit and licensing requirements, air quality standards, water pollution, plant and wildlife protection, reclamation and restoration of mining properties after mining, the discharge of materials into the environment, surface subsidence from underground mining and the effects that mining has on groundwater quality and availability. Legislation mandating certain benefits for current and retired coal miners also affects the industry. Mining operations require numerous governmental permits and approvals. North American Coal is required to prepare and present to federal, state or local authorities data pertaining to the impact that production of coal may have upon the environment. Compliance with these requirements may be costly and time-consuming.

     New legislation and/or regulations and orders may materially adversely affect North American Coal’s mining operations or its cost structure. New legislation, including proposals related to environmental protection that would further regulate and tax the coal industry, may also require North American Coal or its customers to change operations significantly or incur increased costs. Possible limitations on carbon emissions and requirements for a specific mix of fuel sources for energy generation methods may reduce potential coal demand. All of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

     North American Coal is subject to federal and state mining regulations, which place a burden on it.

     Federal and state statutes require North American Coal to restore mine property in accordance with specified standards and an approved reclamation plan, and require that North American Coal obtain and periodically renew permits for mining operations. Regulations require North American Coal to incur the cost of reclaiming current mine disturbance. In addition, North American Coal is subject to significant long-term liabilities relating to closed mines that had been operated by Bellaire, a non-operating subsidiary of NACCO. These liabilities reflect amounts owed to the Fund, arising as a result of the Coal Act, which requires Bellaire to incur costs for medical expenses of some United Mine Workers retirees and their dependents. In 2002, our results of operations were adversely affected as a result of an extraordinary loss related to an estimated increase in Bellaire’s obligation to United Mine Workers, which was based primarily on a U.S. Supreme Court decision in January 2003.

     On July 15, 2003, the Fund filed suit against 214 companies, including Bellaire, seeking an increase in premiums paid to the Fund. During 2005, a summary judgment was granted that prohibits the Fund from applying the higher premium rate. The Fund has appealed the decision. Pending the outcome of this appeal, we estimate we could incur additional expense within an estimated range of $0 to $5.0 million. Since the outcome of this proceeding is uncertain, we have not revised our accrual. We recognized an extraordinary gain of $4.7 million, net of $2.5 million tax expense in 2005, $0.5 million, net of $0.2 million tax expense in 2004 and $1.8 million, net of $1.0 million tax expense in 2003, from lower estimated premium payment inflation and a lower estimated number of assigned beneficiaries due in part to increased mortality compared with previous estimates, resulting in a decrease in expected future obligations related to the Fund. Although we believe that appropriate accruals have been recorded for all expected reclamation and other costs associated with closed mines, future operating results would be adversely affected if accruals for these costs are later determined to be insufficient or if changed conditions, including adverse judicial proceedings or revised assumptions, require a change in these reserves.

     North American Coal’s operations are impacted by the Clean Air Act Amendments on coal consumption.

     The Federal Clean Air Act, including the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, or the Clean Air Act, and corresponding state laws that regulate emissions of materials into the air, affect coal mining operations both directly and indirectly. Measures intended to improve air quality extensively regulate the emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and other substances by coal-fueled utility power plants, which are North American Coal’s primary customers. Those measures could make coal a less attractive fuel alternative in the planning and building of utility power plants in the future. Any reduction in coal’s share of the capacity for power generation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. North American Coal cannot predict how present or future regulations will affect the coal industry in general and North American Coal in particular. It is possible that the new air quality standards under the Clean Air Act and any other future regulatory provisions will

materially increase the costs of doing business and reduce consumption of and demand for coal by North American Coal’s customers.

     On May 18, 2005, the Environmental Protection Agency, or the EPA, published the Clean Air Mercury Rule, or the CAMR, which regulates the emission of mercury from coal-fired power plants. CAMR is a two phase cap and trade regulation with phase 1 being implemented in 2010 and phase 2 in 2018. Affected electrical generating units will be able to meet these regulations by, among other things, switching to lower mercury fuels, installing mercury control devices, or purchasing mercury emissions allowances. Mercury control devices are just beginning to be demonstrated on a commercial scale; therefore, their efficiency and cost of operation is uncertain at this time.

     The cost of controlling mercury emissions will be significant and emission allowances may become more expensive as their availability declines. Switching to other fuels may require expensive modifications to existing plants. The extent to which North American Coal’s electric utility customers switch to lower mercury coal or other low-mercury fuel could materially affect us if North American Coal cannot offset the cost of mercury removal by lowering the costs of delivery of its coal on an energy equivalent basis. There can be no assurance that we will be able to offset these costs, which if incurred, could have a materially adverse effect on our results of operations.

     Legislation that could regulate other air pollutants, including carbon dioxide, have been proposed. While the details of all of these proposed initiatives vary, there appears to be a movement towards increased regulation of power plant air pollutants. If any of these initiatives were enacted into law, power plants could choose to shift away from coal as a fuel source to meet these requirements.

     Because coal mining operations emit particulate matter, North American Coal’s mining operations may be affected directly when the states revise their implementation plans to comply with the stricter standards for particulate matter and ozone. State and federal regulations relating to the new standards may restrict North American Coal’s ability to develop new mines or could require it to modify its existing operations. The extent of the potential direct impact of the new standards on the coal industry will depend on the policies and control strategies associated with the state implementation process, but could increase North American Coal’s costs of doing business and materially adversely affect our results of operations.

     North American Coal is subject to the high costs and risks involved in the development of new coal and dragline mining projects.

     From time to time, North American Coal seeks to develop new coal and dragline mining projects. The costs and risks associated with such projects can be substantial.

General

     We may become subject to claims under foreign laws and regulations, which may be expensive, time consuming and distracting.

     Because we have employees, property and business operations outside of the United States, we are subject to the laws and the court systems of many jurisdictions. We may become subject to claims outside the United States based in foreign jurisdictions for violations of their laws with respect to the foreign operations of NACCO Materials Handling Group and NACCO Housewares Group. In addition, these laws may be changed or new laws may be enacted in the future. International litigation is often expensive, time consuming and distracting. As a result, any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

     The loss of key personnel could impair our success.

     We benefit from the leadership and experience of our senior management team and we depend on its continued services in order to successfully conduct its business. The loss of key personnel could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

     The amount and frequency of dividend payments made on our common stock could change.

     The Board of Directors has the power to determine the amount and frequency of the payment of dividends. Decisions regarding whether or not to pay dividends and the amount of any dividends are based on earnings, capital, future expense requirements, financial conditions, contractual limitations and other factors that the Board of Directors may consider. Accordingly, holders of our common stock should not rely on past payments of dividends in a particular amount as an indication of the amount of dividends that will be paid in the future.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

     Class A Common Stock Beneficial Ownership Table for Selling Stockholders. The following table sets forth, as of February 17, 2006, certain information with respect to the selling stockholders, including:

	•		the name of each selling stockholder;
	•		the number of shares of Class A common stock owned by each selling stockholder immediately prior to the sale of shares offered by this prospectus;
	•		the number of shares of Class A common stock offered for exchange by each selling stockholder by this prospectus; and
	•		the percentage of ownership of Class A common stock of each selling stockholder immediately following the exchange of shares offered by this prospectus based on the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding on February 17, 2006.

     A total of 372,703 shares of Class A common stock is being offered by this prospectus. Alfred M. Rankin, Jr., Thomas T. Rankin, Claiborne R. Rankin and Roger F. Rankin, or in each case their revocable trusts, and Rankin Associates IV, L.P., or Rankin IV, are offering to exchange the following numbers of shares of Class A common stock: Alfred M. Rankin, Jr., 101,808; Thomas T. Rankin, 55,327; Claiborne R. Rankin, 35,086; Roger F. Rankin, 75,210; and Rankin IV, 105,272. Because each individual selling stockholder or his revocable trust will offer to exchange the shares, both the individual selling stockholder and his trust are listed separately in the tables below. However, each individual, together with his revocable trust, will only offer to exchange the number of shares of Class A common stock described above and, accordingly, an aggregate of 372,703 shares are being offered for exchange by this prospectus. In the tables below, the disclosure of the beneficial ownership of shares for the individual selling stockholders reflects all shares deemed to be beneficially owned by such selling stockholders (including those shares held in each selling stockholder’s revocable trust). The disclosure of the beneficial ownership of shares for each selling stockholder’s revocable trust includes only those shares held directly by such trust.

     Because the selling stockholders may offer all, a portion or none of the Class A common stock offered by this prospectus, we cannot assure you as to the number of shares of Class A common stock or Class B common stock that will be held by the selling stockholders immediately following the offering. The tables below assume that the beneficial ownership of Class A common stock for each selling stockholder, including shares held directly and indirectly by an individual selling stockholder’s revocable trust, will decrease by an aggregate of the number of shares of Class A common stock described above as a result of this offering and that the beneficial ownership of Class B common stock for each selling stockholder, including shares held directly and indirectly by an individual selling stockholder’s revocable trust, will increase by the same number of shares of Class B common stock. The tables do not, however, account for any changes in each selling stockholder’s beneficial ownership that may result from transactions not contemplated by this prospectus such as an acquisition or disposition of shares of Class A common stock or Class B common stock.

     As of the date of this prospectus, the selling stockholders have already exchanged 429,933 shares of the Class A common stock offered by the registration statement and prospectus related to the exchange offer that was initially filed on July 13, 2001, the registration statement and prospectus related to the exchange offer that was initially filed on September 5, 2003 and the registration statement and prospectus related to the exchange offer that was initially filed on January 12, 2005.

     Holders of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are entitled to different voting rights with respect to each class of stock. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer

     Under the terms of NACCO’s certificate of incorporation and a stockholders’ agreement, dated as of March 15, 1990, as amended, shares of Class B common stock are generally not transferable. Pursuant to the terms of the stockholders’ agreement to which each of the selling stockholders is a party, and NACCO’s certificate of incorporation, however, qualifying holders of Class B common stock may transfer shares of Class B common stock to the selling stockholders in exchange for shares of Class A common stock, on a share for share basis. The selling stockholders are offering to exchange up to 372,703 shares of Class A common stock with qualifying holders of Class B common stock. The selling stockholders may offer to exchange any or all of the shares of Class A common stock covered by this prospectus from time to time in varying amounts. As of the date of this prospectus, the selling stockholders have already exchanged 429,933 shares of Class A common stock registered by the registration statement and prospectus related to the exchange offer that was initially filed on July 13, 2001, the registration statement and prospectus related to the exchange offer that was initially filed on September 5, 2003 and the registration statement and prospectus related to the exchange offer that was initially filed on January 12, 2005.

     In order to be a qualifying holder of Class B common stock for purposes of this prospectus, the holder must be a party to the stockholders’ agreement and must be permitted to transfer shares of Class B common stock to the selling stockholders under NACCO’s certificate of incorporation and the stockholders’ agreement. As of February 17, 2006, the participating stockholders under the stockholders’ agreement beneficially owned approximately 96% of the Class B common stock issued and outstanding on that date. Holders of shares of Class B common stock that are not subject to the stockholders’ agreement are permitted to transfer those shares subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in our certificate of incorporation, which include the ability of holders of shares of Class B common stock that are not subject to the stockholders’ agreement to transfer the shares to persons who are permitted transferees as specified in our certificate of incorporation or convert such shares of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. Only holders of shares of Class B common stock that are subject to the stockholders’ agreement may exchange their shares of Class B common stock for shares of Class A common stock pursuant to this prospectus. In connection with any exchange of Class B common stock to the selling stockholder, we may require from each holder of Class B common stock documents that evidence the permitted nature of the exchange under NACCO’s certificate of incorporation.

     The Class A common stock offered for exchange by the selling stockholders is entitled to one vote per share. The Class B common stock that will be transferred by qualifying holders to the selling stockholders is entitled to ten votes per share.

     Persons who receive shares of Class A common stock from the selling stockholders may resell those shares of Class A common stock in brokerage transactions on the New York Stock Exchange in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, except that the one-year holding period requirement of Rule 144 will not apply.

     Any broker-dealers, agents or underwriters that participate in the distribution of the shares of Class A common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on the sale of the shares of Class A common stock by them and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

     In order to comply with the securities laws of specific states, sales of shares of Class A common stock covered by this prospectus to qualifying holders of Class B common stock in some states may be made only through broker-dealers who are registered or licensed in those states.

     We have been advised by the selling stockholders that they have not, as of the date of this prospectus, entered into any arrangement with an agent, broker-dealer or underwriter for the sale of the shares of Class A common stock covered by this prospectus owned by them.

     Agents, broker-dealers and underwriters involved in the transactions contemplated by this prospectus may engage in transactions with, and perform investment banking and advisory services for us.

     Agents, broker-dealers and underwriters may be entitled under agreements entered into with us and the selling stockholders to indemnification by us and the selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which those agents, broker-dealers or underwriters may be required to make.

Accounting Treatment

     For accounting purposes, we will recognize no gain or loss as a result of the exchange by holders of shares of Class B common stock for shares of Class A common stock pursuant to this prospectus.

No Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights

     In connection with the selling stockholders’ offer to exchange up to 372,703 shares of Class A common stock, you do not have any appraisal or dissenters’ rights under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

     The following sets forth the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of an exchange by holders of shares of Class B common stock of NACCO for shares of Class A common stock of NACCO pursuant to this prospectus. No ruling has been or will be sought from the Internal Revenue Service concerning the tax consequences of an exchange. Persons acquiring shares of Class A common stock by exchanging shares of their Class B common stock with the selling stockholders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of an exchange to them, including the effects of U.S. federal, state, local, foreign and other tax laws.

     Tax Consequences of an Exchange

     Subject to the following assumptions, limitations and qualifications, in the opinion of Jones Day, counsel to NACCO, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

	•		gain or loss will generally not be recognized by the holders of shares of Class B common stock upon the exchange of their shares of Class B common stock for shares of Class A common stock pursuant to this prospectus;
	•		the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the shares of Class A common stock received in an exchange for shares of Class B common stock pursuant to this prospectus will be equal to the aggregate adjusted basis of the shares of Class B common stock exchanged for those shares of Class A common stock; and

•

the holding period of the shares of Class A common stock received in an exchange for shares of Class B common stock pursuant to this prospectus will include the holding period of the holder’s shares of Class B common stock exchanged for that Class A common stock.

     Considerations with Respect to Discussion and Tax Opinion

     The tax opinion of Jones Day is and will be subject to the following assumptions, limitations and qualifications:

     The opinion addresses only the specified material U.S. federal income tax consequences of an exchange. It does not address any state, local or foreign tax consequences of an exchange.

     The opinion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a particular stockholder in light of his, her or its personal investment circumstances or to stockholders subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, including, without limitation, (1) certain U.S. expatriates, (2) stockholders that hold NACCO Class A or Class B common stock as part of a straddle, appreciated financial position, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated investment, (3) financial institutions, (4) tax-exempt entities, (5) insurance companies, (6) dealers in securities or foreign currency, (7) traders that mark-to-market, (8) stockholders who acquired their shares of Class B common stock through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation or through a tax-qualified retirement plan, and (9) foreign corporations, foreign partnerships or other foreign entities and individuals who are not citizens or residents of the United States.

     The opinion does not address the tax consequences of any transaction other than an exchange pursuant to this prospectus.

     The opinion is based upon the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial decisions all in effect as of January 12, 2005, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, and which are subject to differing interpretations. Jones Day assumes no obligation to advise NACCO or the holders of Class B common stock of such changes.

     The opinion assumes that holders of Class B common stock hold their stock as a capital asset within the meaning of section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code.

     The opinion assumes that each exchange of Class B common stock for Class A common stock will be consummated in accordance with the descriptions contained in this prospectus.

     The opinion assumes that the fair market value of the Class A common stock to be received in any exchange and the fair market value of the Class B common stock to be delivered in any exchange will be approximately equal in value.

     The opinion assumes that none of the Class B common stock transferred to any selling stockholder in any exchange will be subject to a liability, and no selling stockholder that is a party to any exchange will assume any liabilities of a holder of Class B common stock in connection with the exchange.

     The opinion assumes that NACCO and the holders of Class B common stock who transfer their shares pursuant to an exchange will each pay their respective expenses, if any, incurred in connection with an exchange.

     The opinion assumes that the representations contained in a tax certification letter addressed to Jones Day from NACCO, as well as the assumptions set forth in the preceding paragraphs, are accurate at all material times, including the date of any exchange pursuant to this prospectus. The representations contained in the tax certification letter are statements of fact material to the determination as to whether gain or loss will be recognized as a result of an exchange.

     The opinion of Jones Day is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service and does not preclude it from adopting a contrary position. In addition, if any of the representations or assumptions upon which the discussion and opinion rely are inconsistent with the actual facts, the conclusions reached therein could be adversely affected.

LEGAL MATTERS

     The validity of the shares of Class A common stock offered for exchange hereby has been passed upon for NACCO by Charles A. Bittenbender, its Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary. Mr. Bittenbender owned 8,782 shares of our Class A common stock as of February 17, 2006.
