All Toyota's manufacturing facilities within Canada and the U.S. comply with the International Organization for Standardization or ISO 14001 standard. TIEM has been honored many times for its dedication to constant improvement, and its environmental systems. It is the first and only maker to offer EPA and CARB-certified Compressed Natural Gas powered lift trucks on the market. For instance, the Toyota 8-Series IC lift vehicles emit 70 percent fewer smog forming emissions than the existing federal EPA standards and have complied with Virginia’s strict emission standards and policies.
Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A. - The Industry Leader
Brett Wood, President of TMHU, associates Toyota’s accomplishment to its strong commitment to manufacture the best quality lift vehicles while delivering the utmost customer service and assistance. “We must be able to learn and predict the needs of our customers,” said Brett Wood. “As a leader, our success also depends on our ability to address our customers’ operational, safety and environmental cost issues.” TMHU’s parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, often known as TICO, is listed in Fortune Magazine as the world’s leading lift truck supplier and is amongst the magazines prominent World’s Most Admired Companies.
Redefining Environmental Accountability
Toyota Industries Corporation, as the parent company, has instilled a rich corporate doctrine of environmental stewardship in Toyota. Not many other corporations and no other lift truck producer can match Toyota’s record of protecting the natural environment while simultaneously encouraging the economy. Environmental accountability is a fundamental aspect of corporate decision making at Toyota and they are proud to be the first and only maker to offer UL-listed, EPA- and CARB-certified Compressed Natural Gas powered lift trucks. Yet an added reason they remain a leader within the industry.
In 2006, Toyota launched the 8-Series line. The 8-Series signifies both Toyota’s innovation and leadership in the industry. It features an exclusive emission system that surpasses Federal EPA emission principles, and also meets Virginia’s more intricate 2010 emission standards. The finished product is a lift truck that produces 70 percent fewer smog forming emissions than the current Federal standards allow.
Furthermore in 2006, Toyota established a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, furthering their responsibility to the environment. Greater than 57,000 trees have been planted in community parks and national forests damaged by natural causes such as fires, as a product of this partnership. 10,500 seedlings have also been distributed through Toyota Industrial Equipment’s network of dealers to non-profit organizations and neighborhood consumers to help sustain communities all over the U.S.
Industry-Leading Safety
Toyota’s lift vehicles provide better efficiency, visibility, ergonomics and durability, and most importantly, the industry’s leading safety technology. The company’s System of Active Stability, often known as “SAS”, helps decrease the chance of mishaps and accidental injuries, in addition to increasing productivity levels while minimizing the potential for merchandise and equipment damage.
System Active Stability is able to perceive circumstances that may lead to lateral volatility and likely lateral overturn. When one of these conditions have been sensed, the SAS will immediately engage the Swing Lock Cylinder to re-stabilize the rear axle. This transitions the lift truck’s stability footprint from triangular in shape to rectangular, providing a major increase in stability which substantially reduces the likelihood of a mishap from a lateral overturn. The Active Mast Function Controller or the Active Control Rear Stabilizer also helps to prevent injuries or accidents while adding durability.
SAS was first launched to the market on the 7-Series internal combustion models in 1999 and subsequently catapulted Toyota into the industry leader for safety. Since then, SAS has been integrated into nearly all of Toyota’s internal combustion products. It is standard gear on the new 8-Series. There are more than 100,000 SAS-equipped lift trucks in operation, exceeding 450 million hours combined. The increased population of SAS-equipped trucks in the field, along with compulsory worker education, overturn fatalities across all designs have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Also, there have been an overall 35.5% reduction in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and overturn from a lift vehicle for the same period.
Toyota's pattern of excellence reaches far beyond its technological achievements. The company maintains an extensive Operator Safety Training curriculum to help purchasers meet OSHA standard 1910.178. Education programs, video lessons and assorted materials, covering a wide scope of subjects—from individual safety, to OSHA regulations, to surface and cargo situations, are offered through the seller network.
Toyota's Dedication to The U.S.A.
Since the sale of its first lift vehicle in the U.S. to the manufacture of its 350,000th lift truck produced in 2009 at Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, TMHU has continued a solid existence in the U.S. This fact is demonstrated by the statistic that 99% of Toyota lift trucks bought in America now are built in the United States.
TMHU is based in Columbus Indiana and houses nearly 1 million square feet of manufacturing facilities over 126 acres of property. Facilities include a National Customer Center, as well as production operations and supply centers for equipment and service parts, with the entire commitment exceeding $113 million dollars.
The new National Customer Center was conceived to serve both dealers and clients of TMHU. The facility includes a 360-degree showroom, a presentation theater complete with stadium seating for 32, an section for live merchandise demonstrations with seating capability for 120; a presentation theater; Toyota’s Hall of Fame showcasing Toyota’s history since the birth of its founder, Sakichi Toyoda, in 1867, and finally a education center.
