Redefining Environmental Accountability
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 organizations and certainly no other resource handling manufacturer can yet rival Toyota. Environmental responsibility is a key aspect of corporate 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 an added reason they remain a leader within the industry.
In 2006, Toyota released 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 standards, and also meets Michigan’s more elaborate 2010 emission standards. The end creation is a lift truck that produces 70% less smog forming emissions than the current Federal standards tolerate.
Also starting in 2006, jointly with the Arbor Day Foundation, Toyota added to its commitment to the natural environment. To this day more than 58,000 trees have been embedded in the ground throughout state forests and community parks that were damaged by fires and other natural causes. 10,500 seedlings have also been circulated through Toyota Industrial Equipment’s system of sellers to non-profit organizations and local consumers to help sustain communities all over the United States
Industry-Leading Safety
Toyota’s lift trucks offer superior output, visibility, ergonomics and durability, and most notably, the industry’s leading safety technology. The company’s System of Active Stability, also known as “SAS”, helps decrease the possibility 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 aspects that might lead to lateral volatility and likely lateral overturn. When one of those factors are detected, SAS instantly engages the Swing Lock Cylinder to stabilize the rear axle. This adjusts 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 aids to avoid injuries or accidents while adding strength.
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 drive Toyota into the lead for industry safety standards. Now, SAS is used on nearly every modern internal combustion products 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 required worker education, overturn fatalities across all brands have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Also, there have been an overall 35.5% drop in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and tip overs 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 meet and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Education services, video tutorials and various materials, covering a wide scope of topics—from personal safety, to OSHA rules, to surface and load situations, are accessible through the supplier network.

Since the transaction of its first lift vehicle in the U.S. to the fabrication of its 350,000th lift vehicle produced in 2009 at Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, TMHU has sustained a unbroken presence 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.
