Toyota Forklift Parts - Since 1992, Toyota Material Handling inc., U.S.A., also called TMHU, has been the best selling lift truck supplier in the U.S. Proudly celebrating more than 40 years of service, the Irvine, California established company provides a comprehensive line of quality lift trucks. Stemming from their history of excellence, reliability, and resilience, Toyota remains popular in this competitive market. Quality is the keystone of Toyota's legendary 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.A are built here.
All Toyota machines and components built within North America adhere to the International Organization for Standardization or ISO 14001 standard. The Columbus TIEM plant has been honored on many occasions for its dedication to relentless progress and its environmentally friendly systems. It is the first and only maker 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 percent fewer smog forming emissions than the existing federal EPA standards and have complied with California's strict emission standards and regulations.
Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A. - The Industry Leader
Brett Wood, President of TMHU, links Toyota's success to its strong commitment to fabricating the finest quality lift trucks at the same time as 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 called TICO, is listed in Fortune Magazine as the world's largest lift truck provider and is among the magazines prestigious World's Most Admired Companies.
New Meaning to Environmental Accountability
Toyota's parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, has imparted an excellent company philosophy towards environmental conservancy within Toyota. Toyota's rich history of environmental protection whilst retaining economic viability cannot be matched by other organizations and undoubtedly no other resource handling manufacturer can so far rival Toyota. Environmental responsibility is a fundamental characteristic of company 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 one more 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 elaborate 2010 emission standards. The finished creation is a lift truck that produces 70% fewer smog forming emissions than the current Federal standards tolerate.
What's more in 2006, Toyota established an affiliation with the Arbor Day Foundation, furthering their responsibility to the environment. Greater than 57,000 trees have been planted in local parks and national forests damaged by environmental causes such as fires, as a result of this partnership. 10,500 seedlings have also been spread through Toyota Industrial Equipment's system of dealers to non-profit organizations and neighborhood consumers to help sustain communities all over the U.S.
Toyota's lift vehicles provide superior efficiency, visibility, ergonomics and durability, and most importantly, the industry's leading safety technology. The company's System of Active Stability, also called "SAS", helps lessen the possibility of accidents and injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of product and equipment breakage.
System Active Stability can discern conditions that could lead to lateral volatility and possible lateral overturn. When any of these conditions have been sensed, the SAS will instantaneously engage the Swing Lock Cylinder to re-stabilize the rear axle. This transitions the lift truck's stability trajectory 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 assists to avoid injuries or accidents while adding stability.
SAS was initially introduced 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 have been integrated into nearly all of Toyota's internal combustion machines. It is standard equipment on the latest 8-Series. There are more than 100,000 SAS-equipped lift vehicles in operation, exceeding 450 million hours combined. The increased population of SAS-equipped trucks in the field, along with required worker education, overturn fatalities across all designs have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Furthermore, there has been an overall 35.5% decrease 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 program to help clients meet OSHA standard 1910.178. Training programs, video lessons and a variety of materials, covering a broad scope of topics-from individual safety, to OSHA policies, to surface and load situations, are accessible through the vendor network.
Toyota has sustained a relentless existence in the United States ever since its first sale. In 2009, Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, created its 350,000th lift vehicle. This reality is demonstrated by the statistic that 99% of Toyota lift trucks sold in America today are built in the United States.
Based in Columbus, Ind., the Toyota Industrial Equipment Mfg. campus equals 998,000 square feet of facilities spanning 126 acres. Facilities include a National Customer Center, as well as production operations and supply centers for equipment and service components, with the whole investment exceeding $113 million dollars.
The contemporary NCC was designed to operate for TMHU buyers and dealers. The facility includes a 360-degree display room, a presentation theater complete with stadium seating for 32, an section for live product demonstrations with seating capability for 120; a presentation theater; Toyota's Hall of Fame showcasing Toyota's history since the birth of its originator, Sakichi Toyoda, in 1867, and finally a instruction center.
TMHU has 68 official industrial equipment dealers, along with 189 dealership locations all through the United States, offering the most comprehensive and inclusive consumer support and customer service in the industry. The company's new and Certified Used lift vehicles, service, components, and financing capabilities make Toyota dealerships a one-stop shop to guarantee overall client satisfaction.
