TMHU's parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, also referred to as TICO, is listed in Fortune Magazine as the world's principal lift truck supplier and is amongst the magazines celebrated World's Most Admired Companies.
New Meaning to Environmental Responsibility
Toyota's parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, has imparted an excellent corporate principles towards environmental management within Toyota. Toyota's loaded history of environmental protection whilst retaining economic viability cannot be matched by other corporations and certainly no other materials handling maker can thus far rival Toyota. Environmental responsibility is an important aspect of corporate decision making at Toyota and they are proud to be the first and only maker to provide UL-listed, EPA - and CARB -certified Compressed Natural Gas powered lift trucks. Yet another 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 elaborate 2010 emission standards. The end invention is a lift truck that creates 70 percent fewer smog forming emissions than the current 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 local parks and national forests damaged by environmental reasons such as fires, as a product of this relationship. 10,500 seedlings have also been distributed 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 vehicles offer improved stability, visibility, productivity, ergonomics, and all the foremost safety equipment that has made Toyota an industry leader. The company's System of Active Stability, often known as "SAS", helps reduce the chance of incidents and injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the potential for merchandise and equipment damage.
System Active Stability senses various elements 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 alters the lift truck's stability trajectory from triangular in shape to rectangular, offering a major increase in stability which substantially reduces the likelihood 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 strength.
The SAS systems were originally used on the 7-Series internal combustion lift vehicles 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 trucks in operation, exceeding 450 million hours combined. The increased population of SAS-equipped vehicles in the field, along with required worker instruction, overturn fatalities across all brands 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.

Education packages, videos and various resources, covering a broad scope of subjects-from personal safety, to OSHA policies, to surface and cargo conditions, are accessible through the vendor network.
Toyota has sustained a continuous presence in the United States ever since its first sale. In 2009, Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, produced its 350,000th lift vehicle.
