Toyota Forklift Parts
Toyota Forklift Parts - In the U.S., Toyota Materials Handling inc., or TMHU, has been the top selling lift truck dealer since 1992. Proudly celebrating more than 40 years of performance, the Irvine, California based company provides a wide-ranging line of quality lift trucks. Attributable to their status of excellence, reliability, and resilience, Toyota remains popular in this aggressive market. Quality is the foundation 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 majority of the Toyota lift trucks sold in the U.S. are built here.
Every one of Toyota's manufacturing plants within Canada and the U.S. comply with the International Organization for Standardization or ISO 14001 standard. TIEM has been honored many times for its dedication to persistent improvement, and its environmental methods. It is the first and only manufacturer 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 percent fewer smog forming emissions than the current federal EPA standards and have complied with California's strict emission standards and regulations.
TMHU, U.S.A. - Leading the Industry
The president of Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A., Brett Wood feels that TMHU's success comes from its dedication to manufacture high quality lift vehicles at the same time as providing superb 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 largest lift truck supplier and is amongst the magazines prominent World's Most Admired Companies.
New Meaning to Environmental Accountability
Toyota Industries Corporation, as the parent company, has instilled a rich company doctrine of environmental stewardship in Toyota. Not many other companies and no other lift truck maker can equal Toyota's history of caring for the environment while simultaneously encouraging the economy. Environmental accountability is a fundamental 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 trucks. Yet another reason they remain a leader within the industry.
In 2006, Toyota launched 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 principles, and also meets California's more involved 2010 emission standards. The end product is a lift vehicle that produces 70 percent fewer smog forming emissions than the present Federal standards allow.
What's more in 2006, Toyota developed a relationship with the Arbor Day Foundation, furthering their commitment to the environment. Greater than 57,000 trees have been planted in local parks and national forests damaged by environmental reasons such as fires, as a result of this partnership. 10,500 seedlings have also been spread through Toyota Industrial Equipment's network of dealers to non-profit organizations and neighborhood consumers to help sustain communities all over the United States
Toyota's lift vehicles offer enhanced stability, 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 lessen the risk of accidents and accidental injuries, in addition to increasing productivity levels while minimizing the potential for merchandise and equipment damage.
System Active Stability is able to perceive factors that could lead to lateral unsteadiness and likely lateral overturn. When any of these factors have been sensed, the SAS will immediately 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 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 used on the 7-Series internal combustion lift trucks which were put on the market in 1999. These systems helped thrust Toyota into the lead for industry safety standards. Now, SAS is utilized on nearly 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. Also, there have been an overall 35.5% reduction in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and tip overs from a lift vehicle for the same period.
Toyota's standard of brilliance reaches far beyond its technological achievements. The company maintains an extensive Operator Safety Training program to help consumers meet OSHA standard 1910.178. Education packages, videos and various resources, covering a wide scope of topics-from individual safety, to OSHA rules, to surface and cargo situations, are offered through the supplier network.
Toyota has maintained a relentless existence in the United States ever since its first sale. In 2009, Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, produced its 350,000th lift truck. This reality is demonstrated by the statistic that 99% of Toyota lift trucks bought in America now are manufactured in the United States.
