Redefining Environmental Responsibility

Toyota's parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, has imparted an exceptional company principles towards environmental conservancy within Toyota. Toyota's loaded history of environmental protection whilst retaining economic viability can not be matched by other organizations and certainly no other materials handling maker can thus far rival Toyota. Environmental accountability is a key feature 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 vehicles. Yet one more reason they remain a leader within the industry.

Toyota originally introduced the 8-Series line of lift trucks 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 vehicle that produces 70 percent fewer smog forming emissions than the existing Federal standards tolerate.

Industry Leader in Safety

Toyota's lift trucks offer improved stability, visibility, output, ergonomics, and all the foremost safety equipment that has made Toyota an industry leader. The company's System of Active Stability, also called "SAS", helps reduce the chance of incidents and injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of product and equipment damage.

System Active Stability can sense circumstances that could lead to lateral unsteadiness and likely lateral overturn. When one of these conditions have been sensed, the SAS will instantaneously engage the Swing Lock Cylinder to re-stabilize the rear axle. This changes the lift truck's stability trajectory from triangular in shape to rectangular, providing 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 durability.

The SAS systems were initially adopted on the 7-Series internal combustion lift trucks which were put on the market in 1999. These systems helped drive Toyota into the lead for industry safety standards. Now, SAS is utilized on virtually 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 action, exceeding 450 million hours combined. The increased population of SAS-equipped vehicles in the field, along with compulsory operator training, overturn fatalities across all models have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Additionally, there have been an overall 35.5% drop in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and tip overs from a lift vehicle for the same period.

Toyota's standard of excellence reaches far beyond its technological achievements. The company maintains an extensive Operator Safety Training program to help clients meet OSHA standard 1910.178. Education courses, video lessons and assorted materials, covering a wide scope of matters-from personal safety, to OSHA rules, to surface and cargo conditions, are available through the seller network.
