Redefining 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 producer can match Toyota's record of protecting the natural environment while simultaneously advancing the economy. Environmental responsibility is an important 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 trucks. Yet one more 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 standards, and also meets California's more elaborate 2010 emission standards. The finished invention is a lift vehicle that creates 70% less smog forming emissions than the current Federal standards allow.

Also in 2006, Toyota established a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, furthering their responsibility to the environment. In excess of 57,000 trees have been planted in regional parks and national forests damaged by environmental reasons such as fires, as a result of this partnership. 10,500 seedlings have also been scattered through Toyota Industrial Equipment's system of dealers to non-profit organizations and local customers to help sustain communities all over the United States

Industry-Leading Safety

Toyota's lift trucks offer enhanced durability, visibility, output, ergonomics, and all the leading safety equipment that has made Toyota an industry leader. The company's System of Active Stability, also referred to as "SAS", helps limit the possibility of accidents and injuries, in addition to increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of merchandise and equipment breakage.

System Active Stability senses numerous conditions that may lead to lateral volatility and likely lateral overturn. When any of those factors are detected, SAS instantaneously engages the Swing Lock Cylinder to stabilize the rear axle. This transitions 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 assists to prevent injuries or accidents while adding strength.

The SAS systems were originally adopted on the 7-Series internal combustion lift vehicles which were put on the market in 1999. These systems helped push Toyota into the lead for industry safety standards. Now, SAS is adopted on nearly every modern internal combustion products 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 education, overturn fatalities across all models have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Also, there have been an overall 35.5% decrease in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and overturn from a lift vehicle for the same period.

Toyota's uncompromising principles reach far beyond the machinery itself. The company believes in providing widespread Operator Safety Training services to help users satisfy and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Education packages, video tutorials and assorted materials, covering a wide scope of subjects-from individual safety, to OSHA rules, to surface and load situations, are accessible through the supplier network.
