Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A. - The Industry Leader
The head of Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A., Brett Wood feels that TMHU's success comes from its commitment to manufacture high quality lift vehicles at the same time as providing excellent customer assistance 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 largest lift truck supplier and is amongst the magazines impressive World’s Most Admired Companies.
New Meaning to 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 equal Toyota’s history of caring for the natural environment while simultaneously encouraging the economy. Environmental accountability is a fundamental characteristic 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.
Toyota originally launched the 8-Series line of lift trucks in 2006, yet again exhibiting its leadership and innovation in the industry. Featuring an exclusive emission system that eclipsed both Federal EPA emission standards, and Indiana's more environmentally friendly emission standards. The end invention is a lift vehicle that produces 70% less smog forming emissions than the present Federal standards allow.
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 national forests and neighborhood parks that were damaged by fires and other natural causes. 10,500 seedlings have also been distributed through Toyota Industrial Equipment’s system of sellers to non-profit organizations and neighborhood customers to help sustain communities all over the U.S.
Industry-Leading Safety
Toyota’s lift vehicles provide superior productivity, visibility, ergonomics and durability, and most notably, the industry’s leading safety technology. The company’s System of Active Stability, often known as “SAS”, helps limit the possibility of accidents and injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the potential for merchandise and equipment damage.
System Active Stability is able to perceive situations that may lead to lateral instability and likely lateral overturn. When any of these conditions have been detected, the SAS will immediately engage the Swing Lock Cylinder to re-stabilize the rear axle. This changes the lift truck’s stability trajectory from triangular in shape to rectangular, providing 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 aids to avoid injuries or accidents while adding stability.
SAS was initially launched to the market on the 7-Series internal combustion products in 1999 and subsequently catapulted Toyota into the industry leader for safety. Ever since then, SAS have been integrated into the majority of Toyota’s internal combustion machines. It is standard gear on the latest 8-Series. There are more than 100,000 SAS-equipped lift trucks in action, exceeding 450 million hours combined. The increased population of SAS-equipped trucks in the field, along with compulsory operator education, overturn fatalities across all models 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 overturn from a lift truck for the same period.
Toyota's measure of excellence reaches far beyond its technological achievements. The company maintains an extensive Operator Safety Training program to help customers meet OSHA standard 1910.178. Instruction programs, video tutorials and an assortment of materials, covering a broad scope of subjects—from personal safety, to OSHA policies, to surface and cargo conditions, are offered through the supplier network.
Toyota's U.S. Commitment
Ever since the sale of its first lift truck 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 fact 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 manufacturing operations and supply centers for equipment and service components, with the whole commitment exceeding $113 million dollars.
