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 relentless improvement 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. For instance, the Toyota 8-Series IC lift vehicles emit 70% fewer smog forming emissions than the current centralized EPA standards and have complied with Kansas’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 achievement comes from its commitment to manufacture high quality lift vehicles while offering superb client support 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 biggest lift truck dealer and is among the magazines prominent World’s Most Admired Companies.
Redefining Environmental Responsibility
Toyota's parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, has imparted an outstanding corporate ideology 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 resource handling manufacturer can yet rival Toyota. Environmental accountability is a fundamental feature 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 vehicles. Yet an added 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 Kansas’s more elaborate 2010 emission standards. The finished invention is a lift truck that creates 70% less smog forming emissions than the present Federal standards tolerate.
Also starting in 2006, together 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 local parks that were damaged by fires and other natural causes. 10,500 seedlings have also been circulated through Toyota Industrial Equipment’s network of dealers to non-profit organizations and neighborhood customers to help sustain communities all over the United States
Industry Leader in Safety
Toyota’s lift trucks provide improved productivity, visibility, ergonomics and durability, and most significantly, the industry’s leading safety technology. The company’s System of Active Stability, also called “SAS”, helps decrease the chance of mishaps and accidental injuries, in addition to increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of merchandise and equipment breakage.
System Active Stability is able to discern factors that might 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 alters the lift truck’s stability footprint 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 helps to avoid injuries or accidents while adding strength.
SAS was originally released 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 has been built-in to most of Toyota’s internal combustion products. It is standard gear on 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 vehicles in the field, along with obligatory worker instruction, overturn fatalities across all brands have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Furthermore, there have been an overall 35.5% drop 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 a widespread Operator Safety Training course to help users meet OSHA standard 1910.178. Education courses, video tutorials and various resources, covering a wide scope of matters—from personal safety, to OSHA regulations, to surface and load conditions, are offered through the supplier network.
Toyota's Dedication to The U.S.A.
Toyota has sustained a relentless presence in the United States ever since its first sale. In 2009, Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, produced its 350,000th lift vehicle. 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.
Based in Columbus, Ind., the Toyota Industrial Equipment Mfg. campus equals 998,000 square feet of facilities across 126 acres. Facilities include a National Customer Center, as well as production operations and distribution centers for equipment and service components, with the total investment exceeding $113 million dollars.
The new National Customer Center was conceived to serve both dealers and customers of TMHU. The facility includes a 360-degree showroom, a presentation theater complete with stadium seating for 32, an area for live product demonstrations with seating capability for 120; a presentation theater; Toyota’s Hall of Fame showcasing Toyota’s story since the birth of its originator, Sakichi Toyoda, in 1867, and finally a instruction center.
