Toyota Forklift Part
Toyota Forklift Part - In the United States, Toyota Materials Handling inc., or TMHU, has been the best selling lift truck provider since 1992. This business has been headquartered out of Irvine, California for well over 40 years, providing a complete line of quality lift trucks. With a first-rate reputation of stability and reliability, Toyota lift trucks have thrived in the competitive resources handling market. Quality is the keystone 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.A 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. The Columbus TIEM plant has been honored on many occasions for its dedication to continual development and its environmentally friendly systems. It is the first and only producer to offer EPA and CARB-certified Compressed Natural Gas powered lift trucks on the market. To illustrate, the Toyota 8-Series IC lift trucks emit 70% 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
Brett Wood, President of TMHU, links Toyota's accomplishment to its stout commitment to fabricating the finest quality lift trucks while delivering the utmost customer service and assistance. "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 largest lift truck provider and is amongst the magazines prominent World's Most Admired Companies.
New Meaning to Environmental Responsibility
Toyota's parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, has imparted an exceptional corporate philosophy towards environmental stewardship within Toyota. Toyota's rich history of environmental protection whilst retaining economic viability can not be matched by other corporations and undoubtedly no other resource handling producer can so far rival Toyota. Environmental responsibility is a key feature of corporate decision making at Toyota and they are proud to be the first and only producer to offer 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 truck that creates 70 percent fewer smog forming emissions than the present Federal standards tolerate.
Furthermore in 2006, Toyota established an affiliation with the Arbor Day Foundation, furthering their commitment to the environment. In excess of 57,000 trees have been planted in district parks and national forests damaged by natural reasons such as fires, as a product of this partnership. 10,500 seedlings have also been spread through Toyota Industrial Equipment's system of sellers to non-profit organizations and neighborhood consumers to help sustain communities all over the U.S.
Toyota's lift vehicles offer superior strength, visibility, productivity, ergonomics, and all the leading safety technology that has made Toyota an industry leader. The company's System of Active Stability, often known as "SAS", helps decrease the possibility of accidents and accidental injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of product and equipment damage.
System Active Stability can sense circumstances that could lead to lateral volatility and potential lateral overturn. When one of these factors have been detected, the SAS will immediately 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 a mishap from a lateral overturn. The Active Mast Function Controller or the Active Control Rear Stabilizer also aids 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 adopted on practically every new internal combustion models and is standard equipment for the new 8-Series. There are more than 100,000 SAS-equipped lift trucks in action, exceeding 450 million hours combined. The increased population of SAS-equipped vehicles in the field, along with required operator training, overturn fatalities across all brands have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Additionally, there have been an overall 35.5% decrease in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and overturn from a lift vehicle for the same period.
Toyota's uncompromising principles continue far beyond the machinery itself. The company believes in offering widespread Operator Safety Training programs to help clients meet and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Instruction services, video lessons and a variety of resources, covering a wide scope of topics-from personal safety, to OSHA regulations, to surface and cargo conditions, are accessible through the dealer network.
Since the sale of its first lift vehicle in the U.S. to the manufacture of its 350,000th lift vehicle produced in 2009 at Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, TMHU has continued a unbroken 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.
TMHU is based in Columbus Indiana and houses nearly 1 million square feet of manufacturing facilities over 126 acres of land. Facilities include a National Customer Center, as well as manufacturing operations and distribution centers for equipment and service parts, with the whole investment exceeding $113 million dollars.
