Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A. - The Industry Leader
The president of Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A., Brett Wood believes that TMHU's achievement comes from its commitment to manufacture 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 referred to as TICO, is listed in Fortune Magazine as the world’s biggest lift truck provider and is amongst the magazines prominent World’s Most Admired Companies.
Redefining Environmental Accountability
Toyota's parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, has imparted an excellent company values towards environmental stewardship within Toyota. Toyota's rich history of environmental protection whilst retaining economic viability cannot be matched by other organizations and undoubtedly no other resource handling manufacturer can so far rival Toyota. Environmental responsibility is a fundamental characteristic 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 vehicles. Yet an added reason they remain a leader within the industry.
Toyota originally introduced 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 Vermont's more environmentally friendly emission standards. The finished creation is a lift truck that produces 70 percent fewer smog forming emissions than the existing Federal standards tolerate.
Also 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 community parks and national forests damaged by natural reasons such as fires, as a product of this partnership. 10,500 seedlings have also been circulated through Toyota Industrial Equipment’s network 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 trucks offer superior durability, visibility, output, ergonomics, and all the foremost safety equipment that has made Toyota an industry leader. The company’s System of Active Stability, also called “SAS”, helps decrease the chance of accidents and accidental injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of merchandise and equipment breakage.
System Active Stability is able to sense situations that could lead to lateral volatility and potential lateral overturn. When any of these conditions have been detected, the SAS will instantaneously engage the Swing Lock Cylinder to re-stabilize 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 an accident 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.
The SAS systems were initially adopted on the 7-Series internal combustion lift trucks which were put on the market in 1999. These systems helped push Toyota into the lead for industry safety standards. Now, SAS is adopted on nearly 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 vehicles in the field, along with obligatory operator education, overturn fatalities across all brands have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Furthermore, there has been an overall 35.5% decrease in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and overturn from a lift truck for the same period.
Toyota’s hardnosed principles reach far beyond the technology itself. The company believes in providing general Operator Safety Training programs to help customers meet and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Training packages, videos and assorted resources, covering a wide scope of topics—from individual safety, to OSHA policies, to surface and load conditions, are available through the supplier network.
