Toyota Forklift Part - Since 1992, Toyota Material Handling inc., U.S.A., also called TMHU, have been the best selling lift truck dealer in the United States.

TIEM has been honored many times for its commitment to continuous progress, and its environmental methods.

The president of Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A., Brett Wood believes that TMHU's success comes from its dedication to produce high quality lift vehicles while providing exceptional customer assistance and service. "We must be able to learn and predict the needs of our customers," said Brett Wood.

TMHU's parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, also referred to as 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's parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, has imparted an exceptional company principles towards environmental stewardship within Toyota. Toyota's loaded history of environmental protection whilst retaining economic viability can not be matched by other organizations and unquestionably no other materials handling maker can yet rival Toyota. Environmental responsibility is a fundamental characteristic 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 trucks. Yet an added reason they remain a leader within the industry.
In 2006, Toyota introduced 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 end product is a lift truck that produces 70% less smog forming emissions than the existing Federal standards allow.
Moreover in 2006, Toyota established a relationship with the Arbor Day Foundation, furthering their dedication to the environment. Greater than 57,000 trees have been planted in district parks and national forests damaged by natural causes such as fires, as a result of this relationship. 10,500 seedlings have also been spread 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 superior efficiency, visibility, ergonomics and resilience, and most significantly, the industry's leading safety technology. The company's System of Active Stability, also referred to as "SAS", helps limit the possibility of accidents and injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the potential for merchandise and equipment breakage.
System Active Stability senses various aspects that might lead to lateral volatility and likely lateral overturn. When any of those factors are detected, SAS instantly engages the Swing Lock Cylinder to steady 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 probability 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.
SAS was first launched to the market on the 7-Series internal combustion products in 1999 and subsequently catapulted Toyota into the industry leader for safety. Since then, SAS have been integrated into most of Toyota's internal combustion machines. It is standard equipment on the latest 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 required operator education, overturn fatalities across all models have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Furthermore, there have been an overall 35.5% fall in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and tip overs from a lift truck for the same period.
Toyota's rigid principles reach far beyond the technology itself. The company believes in offering widespread Operator Safety Training services to help customers meet and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Instruction services, video lessons and assorted resources, covering a wide scope of matters-from individual safety, to OSHA regulations, to surface and load situations, are available through the dealer network.
Ever since the sale of its first lift truck in the U.S. to the fabrication of its 350,000th lift vehicle produced in 2009 at Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, TMHU has maintained 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 manufactured in the United States.
TMHU is situated in Columbus Indiana and houses nearly 1 million square feet of manufacturing facilities over 126 acres of land. Facilities include a National Customer Center, as well as manufacturing operations and supply centers for equipment and service parts, with the entire commitment exceeding $113 million dollars.
