Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A. - The Industry Leader
The head of Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A., Brett Wood feels that TMHU's achievement comes from its dedication to produce high quality lift vehicles while offering superb customer support and service. “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, also called TICO, is listed in Fortune Magazine as the world’s principal lift truck provider and is among the magazines impressive World’s Most Admired Companies.
New Meaning to Environmental Accountability
Toyota's parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, has imparted an excellent corporate ideology towards environmental stewardship within Toyota. Toyota's rich history of environmental protection whilst retaining economic viability cannot be matched by other corporations and undoubtedly no other resource handling maker can so far rival Toyota. Environmental accountability is an important characteristic of company decision making at Toyota and they are proud to be the first and only producer to provide UL-listed, EPA- and CARB-certified Compressed Natural Gas powered lift trucks. Yet one more reason they remain a leader within the industry.
Toyota originally launched the 8-Series line of lift vehicles in 2006, again exhibiting its leadership and innovation in the industry. Featuring an exclusive emission system that eclipsed both Federal EPA emission principles, and Fort Worth's more environmentally friendly emission standards. The end invention is a lift truck that produces 70 percent less smog forming emissions than the present Federal standards tolerate.
What's more in 2006, Toyota established a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, furthering their responsibility to the environment. In excess of 57,000 trees have been planted in local parks and national forests damaged by environmental causes such as fires, as a product of this partnership. 10,500 seedlings have also been scattered through Toyota Industrial Equipment’s system of sellers to non-profit organizations and neighborhood consumers to help sustain communities all over the U.S.
Industry Leader in Safety
Toyota’s lift vehicles provide better output, 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 reduce the possibility of mishaps and injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of merchandise and equipment damage.
System Active Stability senses numerous aspects that could lead to lateral insecurity and potential lateral overturn. When one of those conditions are detected, SAS instantly engages the Swing Lock Cylinder to steady the rear axle. This changes the lift truck’s stability footprint from triangular in shape to rectangular, offering 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 assists to avoid injuries or accidents while adding stability.
SAS was first released to the market on the 7-Series internal combustion products in 1999 and subsequently catapulted Toyota into the industry leader for safety. Ever since then, SAS have been built-in to most of Toyota’s internal combustion models. It is standard gear on the latest 8-Series. There are more than 100,000 SAS-equipped lift vehicles in operation, exceeding 450 million hours combined. The increased population of SAS-equipped trucks in the field, along with required worker instruction, overturn fatalities across all models have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Furthermore, there has been an overall 35.5% drop in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and overturn from a lift vehicle for the same period.
Toyota's standard of brilliance reaches far beyond its technological achievements. The company maintains a widespread Operator Safety Training curriculum to help consumers meet OSHA standard 1910.178. Instruction packages, videos and a variety of resources, covering a wide scope of topics—from personal safety, to OSHA rules, to surface and cargo conditions, are accessible through the seller network.
Toyota's U.S. Commitment
Toyota has maintained a relentless existence in the United States ever since its first sale. In 2009, Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, created its 350,000th lift truck. This reality is demonstrated by the statistic that 99% of Toyota lift trucks bought in America now are manufactured in the United States.
