Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A. - The Industry Leader
The head of Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A., Brett Wood feels that TMHU's achievement comes from its commitment to create high quality lift trucks at the same time as offering excellent 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 prestigious World’s Most Admired Companies.
Redefining Environmental Responsibility
Toyota Industries Corporation, as the parent company, has instilled a rich corporate doctrine of environmental stewardship in Toyota. Not many other organizations and no other lift truck producer can equal Toyota’s history of protecting the environment while simultaneously advancing the economy. Environmental accountability is a key characteristic of corporate decision making at Toyota and they are proud to be the first and only manufacturer to offer UL-listed, EPA- and CARB-certified Compressed Natural Gas powered lift vehicles. 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 standards, and also meets Portland’s more involved 2010 emission standards. The finished product is a lift vehicle that creates 70 percent fewer smog forming emissions than the present Federal standards tolerate.
Also starting in 2006, jointly with the Arbor Day Foundation, Toyota added to its commitment to the environment. To this day more than 58,000 trees have been embedded in the ground throughout state forests and neighborhood parks that were damaged by fires and other ecological causes. 10,500 seedlings have also been circulated through Toyota Industrial Equipment’s network of dealers to non-profit organizations and local consumers to help sustain communities all over the U.S.
Industry-Leading Safety
Toyota’s lift vehicles offer enhanced efficiency, visibility, ergonomics and resilience, and most notably, the industry’s leading safety technology. The company’s System of Active Stability, also referred to as “SAS”, helps limit the chance of accidents and injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of merchandise and equipment breakage.
System Active Stability can discern circumstances that may lead to lateral instability and potential lateral overturn. When one of these factors have been sensed, the SAS will immediately engage the Swing Lock Cylinder to re-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 probability of a mishap from a lateral overturn. The Active Mast Function Controller or the Active Control Rear Stabilizer also assists to prevent injuries or accidents while adding strength.
SAS was first 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 have been integrated into the majority 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 operation, exceeding 450 million hours combined. The increased population of SAS-equipped trucks in the field, along with required worker training, overturn fatalities across all models have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Also, there has 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 rigid standards reach far beyond the machinery itself. The company believes in offering extensive Operator Safety Training courses to help customers meet and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Instruction services, video lessons and a variety of materials, covering a wide scope of matters—from personal safety, to OSHA regulations, to surface and cargo situations, are accessible through the dealer network.
Toyota's Commitment to The U.S.A.
Since the transaction 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 sustained a solid presence in the U.S. This fact is demonstrated by the statistic that 99% of Toyota lift trucks bought in America now are manufactured in the United States.
Situated 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 supply centers for equipment and service parts, with the entire investment exceeding $113 million dollars.
The new National Customer Center was conceived to serve both dealers and consumers of TMHU. The facility includes a 360-degree showroom, a presentation theater complete with stadium seating for 32, an area for live merchandise demonstrations with seating capacity for 120; a presentation theater; Toyota’s Hall of Fame showcasing Toyota’s history since the birth of its creator, Sakichi Toyoda, in 1867, and lastly a training center.
