Toyota Forklift Attachments
Since 1992, Toyota Material Handling inc., U.S.A., often known as TMHU, have been the best selling lift truck provider in the United States. This company has been situated out of Irvine, California for well over 40 years, providing a comprehensive line of quality lift trucks. With a first-rate reputation of stability and reliability, Toyota lift trucks have thrived in the competitive resources handling market. Quality is the keystone of Toyota’s renowned Toyota Production System practiced at all manufacturing facilities, including TIEM, which is stands for Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, located in Columbus, Indiana. The bulk of the Toyota lift trucks sold in the U.S. are built here.
Every one of Toyota's manufacturing facilities within Canada and the United States comply with the International Organization for Standardization or ISO 14001 standard. The Columbus TIEM plant has been honored on many occasions for its dedication to continuous improvement and its environmentally friendly 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% less smog forming emissions than the existing centralized EPA standards and have complied with California’s strict emission standards and regulations.
Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A. - The Industry Leader
The head of Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A., Brett Wood feels that TMHU's success comes from its commitment to produce high quality lift trucks while offering excellent customer assistance 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 leading lift truck provider and is among the magazines prestigious World’s Most Admired Companies.
Redefining Environmental Responsibility
Toyota Industries Corporation, as the parent company, has instilled a rich company doctrine of environmental stewardship in Toyota. Not a lot of other organizations and no other lift truck maker can equal Toyota’s record of protecting the natural environment while simultaneously encouraging the economy. Environmental accountability is a key aspect of corporate decision making at Toyota and they are proud to be the first and only maker to provide UL-listed, EPA- and CARB-certified Compressed Natural Gas powered lift vehicles. Yet one more reason they remain a leader within the industry.
Toyota originally introduced the 8-Series line of lift vehicles in 2006, yet again exhibiting its leadership and innovation in the industry. Featuring an exclusive emission system that eclipsed both Federal EPA emission values, and California's more environmentally friendly emission standards. The finished invention is a lift vehicle that produces 70% fewer smog forming emissions than the existing Federal standards tolerate.
Also in 2006, Toyota established an affiliation with the Arbor Day Foundation, furthering their obligation to the environment. Greater than 57,000 trees have been planted in regional parks and national forests damaged by environmental causes such as fires, as a product of this relationship. 10,500 seedlings have also been circulated through Toyota Industrial Equipment’s system of sellers to non-profit organizations and neighborhood customers to help sustain communities all over the United States
Industry Leader in Safety
Toyota's lift trucks offer enhanced durability, visibility, productivity, ergonomics, and all the leading safety technology that has made Toyota an industry leader. The company’s System of Active Stability, also known as “SAS”, helps reduce the risk of incidents and injuries, in addition to increasing productivity levels while minimizing the potential for product and equipment damage.
System Active Stability is able to discern circumstances that might lead to lateral instability and potential lateral overturn. When any of these factors have been sensed, the SAS will instantaneously engage the Swing Lock Cylinder to re-stabilize the rear axle. This alters the lift truck’s stability footprint from triangular in shape to rectangular, providing a major increase in stability which substantially reduces the probability of a mishap from a lateral overturn. The Active Mast Function Controller or the Active Control Rear Stabilizer also assists to prevent injuries or accidents while adding stability.
The SAS systems were initially used on the 7-Series internal combustion lift trucks which were put on the market in 1999. These systems helped drive Toyota into the lead for industry safety standards. Now, SAS is adopted on almost every modern internal combustion models and is standard equipment for 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 obligatory worker instruction, overturn fatalities across all brands have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Additionally, there has been an overall 35.5% drop in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and tip overs from a lift vehicle for the same period.
Toyota’s rigid values extend far beyond the machinery itself. The company believes in providing widespread Operator Safety Training programs to help customers satisfy and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Instruction services, videos and various resources, covering a wide scope of topics—from individual safety, to OSHA regulations, to surface and load conditions, are available through the dealer network.
Toyota's Commitment to The U.S.A.
Toyota has maintained a permanent existence in the United States ever since its first sale. In 2009, Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, created its 350,000th lift vehicle.
