Redefining Environmental Responsibility

Toyota's parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, has imparted an exceptional company principles towards environmental conservancy within Toyota. Toyota's rich history of environmental protection whilst retaining economic viability cannot be matched by other organizations and certainly no other resource handling producer can yet rival Toyota. Environmental accountability is a fundamental characteristic of corporate decision making at Toyota and they are proud to be the first and only manufacturer to provide 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 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 elaborate 2010 emission standards.

Industry-Leading Safety

Toyota's lift vehicles offer enhanced durability, visibility, efficiency, 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 chance of incidents and injuries, in addition to increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of product and equipment breakage.

System Active Stability senses numerous aspects that could lead to lateral volatility and potential lateral overturn. When one of those factors are detected, SAS instantly engages the Swing Lock Cylinder to stabilize 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 helps to avoid injuries or accidents while adding durability.

SAS was first introduced to the market on the 7-Series internal combustion products 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 models. 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 trucks in the field, along with compulsory worker education, overturn fatalities across all models have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Additionally, there has been an overall 35.5% decrease in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and tip overs from a lift truck for the same period.

Toyota's hardnosed standards continue far beyond the machinery itself. The company believes in providing general Operator Safety Training services to help clients satisfy and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Instruction courses, videos and an assortment of materials, covering a wide scope of subjects-from individual safety, to OSHA policies, to surface and load conditions, are offered through the supplier network.
