Toyota Forklift Attachments
Toyota Forklift Attachment - In the U.S., Toyota Materials Handling inc., or TMHU, has been the top selling lift truck provider since 1992. This company has been based out of Irvine, California for well over 40 years, providing a wide-ranging line of quality lift trucks. With an impressive reputation of durability and reliability, Toyota lift trucks have thrived in the competitive materials handling market. Quality is the cornerstone of Toyota's notorious 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.
All Toyota's manufacturing facilities within Canada and the U.S. comply with the International Organization for Standardization or ISO 14001 standard. The Columbus TIEM plant has been honored on many occasions for its devotion to continual 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 trucks emit 70 percent fewer smog forming emissions than the current centralized EPA standards and have complied with California's strict emission standards and regulations.
TMHU, U.S.A. - Leading the Industry
The head of Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A., Brett Wood believes that TMHUs achievement comes from its commitment to produce high quality lift trucks at the same time as providing 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." TMHUs parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, also referred to as TICO, is listed in Fortune Magazine as the world's principal lift truck provider and is among the magazines prestigious World's Most Admired Companies.
New Meaning to 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 maker can match Toyota's history of protecting the natural environment while concurrently encouraging the economy. Environmental accountability is an important aspect of company 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 vehicles. Yet one more reason they remain a leader within the industry.
Toyota originally launched 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 principles, and California's more environmentally friendly emission standards. The finished product is a lift truck that creates 70 percent fewer smog forming emissions than the current Federal standards allow.
Also starting in 2006, collectively with the Arbor Day Foundation, Toyota added to its dedication to the environment. To this day more than 58,000 trees have been embedded in the ground throughout state forests and neighborhood parks that were damaged by fires and other natural causes. 10,500 seedlings have also been spread through Toyota Industrial Equipment's network of sellers to non-profit organizations and neighborhood consumers to help sustain communities all over the United States
Industry-Leading Safety
Toyota's lift trucks offer enhanced productivity, visibility, ergonomics and durability, and most significantly, the industry's leading safety technology. The company's System of Active Stability, also known as "SAS", helps decrease the risk of accidents and injuries, and 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 possible lateral overturn. When any of these conditions have been detected, the SAS will immediately engage the Swing Lock Cylinder to re-stabilize the rear axle. This alters the lift truck's stability trajectory from triangular in shape to rectangular, offering a major increase in stability which substantially reduces the probability of an accident from a lateral overturn. The Active Mast Function Controller or the Active Control Rear Stabilizer also helps to avoid injuries or accidents while adding stability.
The SAS systems were initially utilized on the 7-Series internal combustion lift trucks which were put on the market in 1999. These systems helped propel Toyota into the lead for industry safety standards. Now, SAS is adopted on almost every new internal combustion models and is standard equipment for the new 8-Series. There are more than 100,000 SAS-equipped lift vehicles in action, exceeding 450 million hours combined. The increased population of SAS-equipped trucks in the field, along with obligatory operator education, overturn fatalities across all brands have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Furthermore, there have 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 uncompromising standards reach far beyond the technology itself. The company believes in providing widespread Operator Safety Training programs to help users meet and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Education programs, videos and a variety of materials, covering a wide scope of subjects from individual safety, to OSHA regulations, to surface and load conditions, are offered through the vendor network.
Toyota's Dedication to The U.S.A.
Toyota has maintained a continuous presence in the United States ever since its first sale. In 2009, Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, produced its 350,000th lift vehicle.
