New Meaning to Environmental Accountability

Toyota's parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, has imparted an excellent company values towards environmental conservancy within Toyota. Toyota's loaded history of environmental protection whilst retaining economic viability cannot be matched by other companies and unquestionably no other materials handling manufacturer can thus far rival Toyota. Environmental responsibility is a key feature 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 trucks. Yet one more 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 values, and also meets California's more involved 2010 emission standards. The finished creation is a lift truck that creates 70% less smog forming emissions than the current Federal standards tolerate.

Moreover in 2006, Toyota developed a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, furthering their dedication to the environment. More than 57,000 trees have been planted in community parks and national forests damaged by natural reasons such as fires, as a result of this partnership. 10,500 seedlings have also been distributed through Toyota Industrial Equipment's system of dealers to non-profit organizations and neighborhood customers to help sustain communities all over the U.S.

Industry-Leading Safety

Toyota's lift trucks provide improved output, visibility, ergonomics and durability, and most significantly, the industry's leading safety technology. The company's System of Active Stability, also known as "SAS", helps limit the chance of accidents and injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of product and equipment breakage.

System Active Stability senses several aspects that might lead to lateral instability and likely lateral overturn. When any of those conditions are detected, SAS instantaneously engages the Swing Lock Cylinder to steady the rear axle. This alters 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 durability.

SAS was originally launched to the market on the 7-Series internal combustion models in 1999 and subsequently catapulted Toyota into the industry leader for safety. Ever since then, SAS have been integrated into most 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 obligatory operator training, 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 measure of brilliance reaches far beyond its technological achievements. The company maintains a widespread Operator Safety Training program to help clients meet OSHA standard 1910.178. Training programs, video tutorials and various resources, covering a broad scope of topics-from individual safety, to OSHA rules, to surface and cargo conditions, are offered through the supplier network.
