New Meaning to Environmental Accountability
Toyota's parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, has imparted an excellent company values towards environmental conservancy within Toyota. Toyota's rich history of environmental protection whilst retaining economic viability can not be matched by other corporations and unquestionably no other materials handling maker can thus far rival Toyota. Environmental responsibility is a fundamental aspect 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 vehicles. Yet one more reason they remain a leader within the industry.
In 2006, Toyota introduced 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 values, and also meets California's more involved 2010 emission standards. The finished invention is a lift vehicle that creates 70% less smog forming emissions than the current Federal standards allow.
Also starting in 2006, together 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 system of sellers to non-profit organizations and local customers to help sustain communities all over the U.S.
Toyota's lift trucks offer superior stability, visibility, output, ergonomics, and all the leading safety equipment that has made Toyota an industry leader. The company's System of Active Stability, also called "SAS", helps lessen the risk of accidents and accidental injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of product and equipment damage.
System Active Stability senses many aspects that could lead to lateral insecurity and possible lateral overturn. When any of those conditions are detected, SAS instantly engages the Swing Lock Cylinder to stabilize the rear axle. This alters the lift truck's stability trajectory 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 assists to prevent injuries or accidents while adding strength.
SAS was initially introduced to the market on the 7-Series internal combustion products in 1999 and subsequently catapulted Toyota into the industry leader for safety. Since then, SAS continues to be integrated into nearly all of Toyota's internal combustion products. It is standard gear on the latest 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 mandatory operator education, overturn fatalities across all models have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Also, there has been an overall 35.5% drop in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and overturn from a lift truck for the same period.
Toyota's uncompromising standards extend far beyond the machinery itself. The company believes in providing extensive Operator Safety Training programs to help clients satisfy and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Instruction programs, video lessons and an assortment of resources, covering a broad scope of subjects-from individual safety, to OSHA regulations, to surface and cargo situations, are available through the seller network.
Ever since the sale of its first lift truck in the U.S. to the construction of its 350,000th lift vehicle produced in 2009 at Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, TMHU has sustained a unbroken existence in the U.S. This reality is demonstrated by the statistic that 99% of Toyota lift trucks bought in America at the moment are built in the United States.
TMHU is situated in Columbus Indiana and houses nearly 1 million square feet of production facilities over 126 acres of land. Facilities include a National Customer Center, as well as production operations and distribution centers for equipment and service parts, with the total commitment exceeding $113 million dollars.
