Toyota's parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, has imparted an excellent corporate values towards environmental stewardship within Toyota. Toyota's loaded history of environmental protection whilst retaining economic viability can not be matched by other corporations and unquestionably no other materials handling maker can so far rival Toyota. Environmental accountability is an important characteristic of corporate 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 trucks. Yet an added reason they remain a leader within the industry.
In 2006, Toyota released 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 Eugene’s more involved 2010 emission standards. The finished invention is a lift truck that creates 70 percent fewer smog forming emissions than the current Federal standards tolerate.
Furthermore in 2006, Toyota established a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, furthering their responsibility to the environment. More than 57,000 trees have been planted in local parks and national forests damaged by natural causes such as fires, as a result of this partnership. 10,500 seedlings have also been scattered through Toyota Industrial Equipment’s system of dealers to non-profit organizations and local consumers to help sustain communities all over the U.S.
Industry Leader in Safety
Toyota’s lift trucks offer superior efficiency, visibility, ergonomics and durability, and most significantly, the industry’s leading safety technology. The company’s System of Active Stability, also referred to as “SAS”, helps reduce the possibility of incidents and accidental injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of merchandise and equipment breakage.
System Active Stability senses numerous factors that may lead to lateral insecurity and possible lateral overturn. When one of those factors are detected, SAS instantly engages the Swing Lock Cylinder to steady the rear axle. This transitions the lift truck’s stability footprint from triangular in shape to rectangular, offering 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 prevent injuries or accidents while adding strength.
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. Since then, SAS continues to be built-in to nearly all of Toyota’s internal combustion products. It is standard gear on the new 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 mandatory operator training, overturn fatalities across all brands have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Also, there have been an overall 35.5% decrease in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and overturn from a lift truck for the same period.
Toyota’s uncompromising standards reach far beyond the technology itself. The company believes in providing widespread Operator Safety Training courses to help users satisfy and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Instruction services, video tutorials and a variety of materials, covering a broad scope of topics—from individual safety, to OSHA policies, to surface and cargo situations, are available through the dealer network.
Toyota's U.S. Dedication
Toyota has sustained a permanent existence in the United States ever since its first sale. In 2009, Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, created its 350,000th lift vehicle. This fact is demonstrated by the statistic that 99% of Toyota lift trucks bought in America now are manufactured in the United States.
