Toyota Forklift Part - Ever since 1992, Toyota Material Handling inc., U.S.A., often known as TMHU, has been the best selling lift truck dealer in the United States. Proudly celebrating more than 40 years of operations, the Irvine, California situated company provides an extensive line of quality lift trucks. Stemming from their history of excellence, reliability, and resilience, Toyota remains prevalent in this aggressive market. Quality is the foundation of Toyota's legendary 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.A are built here.
All Toyota machinery and parts designed within North America adhere to the International Organization for Standardization or ISO 14001 standard. TIEM has been honored many times for its dedication to continual progress, and its environmental systems. It is the first and only manufacturer to offer EPA and CARB-certified Compressed Natural Gas powered lift trucks on the market. For example, the Toyota 8-Series IC lift vehicles emit 70 percent fewer smog forming emissions than the existing federal EPA standards and have complied with California's strict emission standards and policies.
Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A. - The Industry Leader
Brett Wood, President of TMHU, associates Toyota's achievement to its robust dedication to fabricating the best quality lift trucks at the same time as delivering the utmost client service and assistance. "We must be able to learn and predict the needs of our customers," said Brett Wood.

TMHU's parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, also known as TICO, is listed in Fortune Magazine as the world's leading lift truck dealer and is amongst the magazines prestigious World's Most Admired Companies.
New Meaning to Environmental Accountability
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 maker can equal Toyota's record of protecting the natural environment while simultaneously encouraging the economy. Environmental responsibility is an important characteristic of company decision making at Toyota and they are proud to be the first and only producer to offer UL-listed, EPA - and CARB -certified Compressed Natural Gas powered lift trucks. Yet another reason they remain a leader within the industry.
Toyota originally introduced the 8-Series line of lift vehicles in 2006, 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 creation is a lift truck that produces 70% fewer smog forming emissions than the existing Federal standards allow.
Also in 2006, Toyota established an affiliation with the Arbor Day Foundation, furthering their obligation to the environment. Upwards of 57,000 trees have been planted in district parks and national forests damaged by natural reasons such as fires, as a product of this relationship. 10,500 seedlings have also been distributed through Toyota Industrial Equipment's network of sellers to non-profit organizations and local consumers to help sustain communities all over the U.S.
Toyota's lift trucks offer better strength, visibility, efficiency, ergonomics, and all the leading safety technology that has made Toyota an industry leader. The company's System of Active Stability, often known as "SAS", helps limit the risk of incidents and injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of merchandise and equipment damage.
System Active Stability senses numerous elements that could lead to lateral instability and potential lateral overturn. When any of those conditions are detected, SAS immediately engages the Swing Lock Cylinder to stabilize 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 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 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 has been built-in to most of Toyota's internal combustion models. It is standard gear on the latest 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 required worker training, overturn fatalities across all designs have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Furthermore, 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 hardnosed principles extend far beyond the technology itself. The company believes in offering extensive Operator Safety Training services to help customers meet and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Training services, video lessons and an assortment of materials, covering a broad scope of subjects-from individual safety, to OSHA policies, to surface and cargo conditions, are available through the supplier network.
Toyota has sustained a relentless existence in the United States ever since its first sale. In 2009, Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, created its 350,000th lift truck. This fact is demonstrated by the statistic that 99% of Toyota lift trucks bought in America now are manufactured 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 parts, with the total investment exceeding $113 million dollars.
The contemporary NCC was designed to operate for TMHU buyers and sellers. 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 history since the birth of its founder, Sakichi Toyoda, in 1867, and finally a instruction center.
