Toyota Forklift Parts
In the U.S., Toyota Materials Handling inc., or TMHU, continues to be the best selling lift truck supplier since 1992. Proudly celebrating more than 40 years of service, the Irvine, California based business provides a wide-ranging 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 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.
All Toyota's manufacturing facilities within Canada and the United States comply with the International Organization for Standardization or ISO 14001 standard. TIEM has been honored many times for its dedication to continual progress, and its environmental methods. It is the first and only maker to offer EPA and CARB-certified Compressed Natural Gas powered lift trucks on the market. For instance, the Toyota 8-Series IC lift vehicles emit 70% fewer smog forming emissions than the existing centralized 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 feels that TMHU's success comes from its commitment to create high quality lift vehicles while providing exceptional client 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 called TICO, is listed in Fortune Magazine as the world’s leading lift truck dealer and is among the magazines prominent World’s Most Admired Companies.
New Meaning to Environmental Responsibility
Toyota Industries Corporation, as the parent company, has instilled a rich company doctrine of environmental stewardship in Toyota. Not many other organizations and no other lift truck producer can equal Toyota’s record of caring for the natural environment while simultaneously stimulating the economy. Environmental accountability is a key feature 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 an added reason they remain a leader within the industry.
Toyota first released the 8-Series line of lift vehicles in 2006, yet again exhibiting its leadership and innovation in the industry. Featuring an exclusive emission system that eclipsed both Federal EPA emission principles, and California's more environmentally friendly emission standards. The finished product is a lift truck that produces 70% less smog forming emissions than the existing 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 sellers to non-profit organizations and neighborhood consumers to help sustain communities all over the U.S.
Toyota’s lift trucks provide better output, visibility, ergonomics and resilience, and most notably, the industry’s leading safety technology. The company’s System of Active Stability, also known as “SAS”, helps limit the chance of mishaps and injuries, in addition to increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of product and equipment breakage.
System Active Stability can perceive circumstances that could lead to lateral unsteadiness and possible lateral overturn. When any of these conditions have been detected, the SAS will instantly engage the Swing Lock Cylinder to re-stabilize the rear axle. This adjusts the lift truck’s stability footprint 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 aids to prevent injuries or accidents while adding stability.
The SAS systems were initially used on the 7-Series internal combustion lift trucks which were put on the market in 1999. These systems helped push Toyota into the lead for industry safety standards. Now, SAS is adopted on practically every modern internal combustion models and is standard equipment for 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 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 tip overs from a lift vehicle for the same period.
Toyota’s hardnosed standards continue far beyond the technology itself. The company believes in offering widespread Operator Safety Training services to help customers satisfy and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Education courses, video tutorials and various materials, covering a wide scope of subjects—from individual safety, to OSHA regulations, to surface and load situations, are available through the vendor network.
Since the transaction of its first lift vehicle in the U.S. to the construction of its 350,000th lift vehicle produced in 2009 at Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, TMHU has continued 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 built in the United States.
Based 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 Toyota Parts, with the whole commitment exceeding $113 million dollars.
The new NCC was built to function for TMHU customers and dealers. The facility includes a 360-degree display room, 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 story since the birth of its originator, Sakichi Toyoda, in 1867, and lastly a instruction center.
The NCC embodies Toyota’s commitment to providing top-notch client service. TMHU’s 68 sanctioned Toyota Industrial Equipment, or TIE dealers, along with 189 dealership locations throughout the U.S, present the most comprehensive and inclusive consumer service and support 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 guarantee total client satisfaction.
