Toyota Forklift Part
Toyota Forklift Part - In the United States, Toyota Materials Handling inc., or TMHU, has been the best selling lift truck dealer since 1992. This company has been headquartered out of Irvine, California for well over 40 years, providing a comprehensive line of quality lift trucks. With a great reputation of stability and reliability, Toyota lift trucks have thrived in the competitive materials handling market. Quality is the cornerstone of Toyota's renowned Toyota Production System practiced at all manufacturing facilities, including TIEM, which is stands for Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, situated in Columbus, Indiana. The bulk of the Toyota lift trucks sold in the U.S. are manufactured here.
Every one of Toyota's manufacturing plants within Canada and the United States 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 example, the Toyota 8-Series IC lift trucks emit 70% less 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 believes that TMHU's success comes from its commitment to manufacture high quality lift vehicles at the same time as offering outstanding customer 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 referred to as TICO, is listed in Fortune Magazine as the world's leading lift truck supplier and is amongst the magazines prominent World's Most Admired Companies.
Redefining Environmental Accountability
Toyota Industries Corporation, as the parent company, has instilled a rich corporate doctrine of environmental stewardship in Toyota. Not many other companies and no other lift truck maker can match Toyota's record of caring for the natural environment while concurrently advancing the economy. Environmental accountability is a fundamental characteristic of company 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 one more 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 California's more elaborate 2010 emission standards. The finished creation is a lift vehicle that creates 70% less smog forming emissions than the existing Federal standards allow.
What's more in 2006, Toyota established an affiliation with the Arbor Day Foundation, furthering their responsibility to the environment. In excess of 57,000 trees have been planted in local parks and national forests damaged by ecological causes such as fires, as a product of this relationship. 10,500 seedlings have also been scattered through Toyota Industrial Equipment's network of dealers to non-profit organizations and neighborhood customers to help sustain communities all over the U.S.
Toyota's lift trucks provide enhanced output, visibility, ergonomics and durability, and most significantly, the industry's leading safety technology. The company's System of Active Stability, often known as "SAS", helps lessen the chance of accidents and accidental injuries, in addition to increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of product and equipment damage.
System Active Stability senses various conditions that could lead to lateral volatility and possible lateral overturn. When one of those factors are detected, SAS instantly engages the Swing Lock Cylinder to steady the rear axle. This adjusts the lift truck's stability trajectory from triangular in shape to rectangular, providing a major increase in stability which substantially reduces the likelihood of an accident from a lateral overturn. The Active Mast Function Controller or the Active Control Rear Stabilizer also helps to prevent injuries or accidents while adding stability.
SAS was first introduced to the market on the 7-Series internal combustion models in 1999 and subsequently catapulted Toyota into the industry leader for safety. Ever since then, SAS continues to be integrated into most of Toyota's internal combustion machines. It is standard equipment on the new 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 vehicles in the field, along with mandatory operator education, overturn fatalities across all models have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Additionally, there have been an overall 35.5% fall in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and overturn from a lift truck for the same period.
Toyota's measure of excellence reaches far beyond its technological achievements. The company maintains a widespread Operator Safety Training course to help customers meet OSHA standard 1910.178. Instruction services, videos and a variety of resources, covering a broad scope of topics-from personal safety, to OSHA regulations, to surface and load situations, are offered through the supplier network.
Since the transaction of its first lift vehicle in the U.S. to the construction of its 350,000th lift truck produced in 2009 at Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, TMHU has maintained a unbroken existence in the U.S. This reality is demonstrated by the statistic that 99% of Toyota lift trucks sold in America today are manufactured in the United States.
Situated 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 manufacturing operations and distribution centers for equipment and service components, with the whole commitment exceeding $113 million dollars.
The contemporary NCC was built to operate for TMHU clients and dealers. The facility includes a 360-degree display room, 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 founder, Sakichi Toyoda, in 1867, and lastly a instruction center.
TMHU has 68 official industrial equipment dealers, along with 189 dealership locations throughout the United States, offering the most comprehensive and inclusive consumer support and customer service in the industry. The company's new and Licensed Used lift vehicles, service, components, and financing features make Toyota dealerships a one-stop shop to ensure overall customer satisfaction.
