New Meaning to Environmental Accountability
Toyota's parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, has imparted an exceptional corporate philosophy towards environmental management within Toyota. Toyota's loaded history of environmental protection whilst retaining economic viability can not be matched by other organizations and undoubtedly no other materials handling manufacturer can yet rival Toyota. Environmental accountability is a key aspect 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 another 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 standards, 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.
Moreover in 2006, Toyota established an affiliation with the Arbor Day Foundation, furthering their dedication to the environment. Greater than 57,000 trees have been planted in local parks and national forests damaged by ecological reasons such as fires, as a result of this relationship. 10,500 seedlings have also been spread through Toyota Industrial Equipment's network of sellers to non-profit organizations and local customers to help sustain communities all over the U.S.
Toyota's lift vehicles offer improved efficiency, visibility, ergonomics and resilience, and most significantly, the industry's leading safety technology. The company's System of Active Stability, also referred to as "SAS", helps lessen the risk of mishaps and accidental injuries, in addition to increasing productivity levels while minimizing the potential for merchandise and equipment damage.
System Active Stability senses various elements that could lead to lateral volatility and possible lateral overturn. When one of those factors are detected, SAS instantaneously engages the Swing Lock Cylinder to steady the rear axle. This changes the lift truck's stability trajectory 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 prevent injuries or accidents while adding strength.
The SAS systems were initially utilized on the 7-Series internal combustion lift vehicles 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 mandatory worker instruction, overturn fatalities across all designs have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Also, there has been an overall 35.5% fall in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and tip overs from a lift vehicle for the same period.
Toyota's hardnosed principles reach far beyond the machinery itself. The company believes in providing extensive Operator Safety Training courses to help clients satisfy and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Training courses, video tutorials and various resources, covering a broad scope of matters-from individual safety, to OSHA regulations, to surface and load situations, are offered through the dealer network.
Ever since the sale of its first lift truck in the U.S. to the manufacture of its 350,000th lift truck produced in 2009 at Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, TMHU has maintained a solid presence in the U.S. This reality is demonstrated by the statistic that 99% of Toyota lift trucks sold in America now are manufactured in the United States.
