Redefining Environmental Accountability
Toyota Industries Corporation, as the parent company, has instilled a rich company doctrine of environmental stewardship in Toyota. Not a lot of other organizations and no other lift truck producer can equal Toyota's record of caring for the environment while simultaneously encouraging the economy. Environmental accountability is a key feature of company 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 one more 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 principles, and also meets California's more intricate 2010 emission standards. The end creation is a lift vehicle that produces 70% less smog forming emissions than the current Federal standards tolerate.
Furthermore in 2006, Toyota established an affiliation with the Arbor Day Foundation, furthering their obligation to the environment. More than 57,000 trees have been planted in community parks and national forests damaged by environmental reasons such as fires, as a result of this relationship. 10,500 seedlings have also been circulated through Toyota Industrial Equipment's system of sellers to non-profit organizations and neighborhood consumers to help sustain communities all over the U.S.
Toyota's lift trucks offer better stability, visibility, productivity, ergonomics, and all the foremost safety technology that has made Toyota an industry leader. The company's System of Active Stability, also known as "SAS", helps limit the risk of incidents and injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the potential for product and equipment damage.
System Active Stability senses several elements that might lead to lateral insecurity and likely lateral overturn. When one of those conditions are detected, SAS instantaneously engages the Swing Lock Cylinder to stabilize the rear axle. This adjusts the lift truck's stability trajectory from triangular in shape to rectangular, offering 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 helps to avoid injuries or accidents while adding strength.
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 used on nearly every modern internal combustion models and is standard equipment for the new 8-Series. There are more than 100,000 SAS-equipped lift trucks in operation, exceeding 450 million hours combined. The increased population of SAS-equipped trucks in the field, along with obligatory operator training, overturn fatalities across all designs have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Also, there has been an overall 35.5% drop in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and tip overs from a lift truck for the same period.
Toyota's hardnosed principles extend far beyond the machinery itself. The company believes in offering widespread Operator Safety Training courses to help users satisfy and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Instruction services, video tutorials and assorted resources, covering a wide scope of topics-from individual safety, to OSHA regulations, to surface and load conditions, are offered through the supplier network.
Toyota has maintained a continuous presence in the United States ever since its first sale. In 2009, Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, created its 350,000th lift truck.
