Toyota Forklift Parts - Since 1992, Toyota Material Handling inc., U.S.A., also known as TMHU, continues to be the best selling lift truck supplier in the United States. Proudly celebrating more than 40 years of operations, the Irvine, California established company presents a wide-ranging line of quality lift trucks. Due to their reputation of excellence, reliability, and sturdiness, Toyota remains popular in this competitive market. Quality is the foundation of Toyota's notorious Toyota Production System practiced at all manufacturing facilities, including TIEM, which is stands for Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, situated in Columbus, Indiana. The bulk of the Toyota lift trucks sold in the U.S. are manufactured here.

TIEM has been honored many times for its dedication to continual progress, and its environmental systems. It is the first and only maker to offer EPA and CARB-certified Compressed Natural Gas powered lift trucks on the market. For instance, the Toyota 8-Series IC lift trucks emit 70% fewer smog forming emissions than the current federal EPA standards and have complied with California's strict emission standards and policies.

TMHU's parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, also called TICO, is listed in Fortune Magazine as the world's largest lift truck dealer and is amongst the magazines impressive World's Most Admired Companies.
Redefining Environmental Responsibility
Toyota Industries Corporation, as the parent company, has instilled a rich corporate doctrine of environmental stewardship in Toyota. Not a lot of other companies and no other lift truck producer can meet Toyota's record of protecting the natural environment while simultaneously advancing the economy. Environmental responsibility is a key characteristic of company decision making at Toyota and they are proud to be the first and only producer to provide UL-listed, EPA - and CARB -certified Compressed Natural Gas powered lift trucks. Yet another reason they remain a leader within the industry.
Toyota originally launched the 8-Series line of lift vehicles 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 end product is a lift vehicle that produces 70 percent less smog forming emissions than the current Federal standards tolerate.
Moreover in 2006, Toyota established a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, furthering their commitment to the environment. In excess of 57,000 trees have been planted in district parks and national forests damaged by ecological causes such as fires, as a result of this partnership. 10,500 seedlings have also been scattered through Toyota Industrial Equipment's system of sellers to non-profit organizations and neighborhood consumers to help sustain communities all over the United States
Toyota's lift vehicles provide superior efficiency, visibility, ergonomics and resilience, and most importantly, the industry's leading safety technology. The company's System of Active Stability, also known as "SAS", helps limit the chance of mishaps and accidental injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of product and equipment breakage.
System Active Stability senses numerous factors that may lead to lateral insecurity and possible lateral overturn. When any 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 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 durability.
SAS was first launched to the market on the 7-Series internal combustion models in 1999 and subsequently catapulted Toyota into the industry leader for safety. Since then, SAS has been built-in to most of Toyota's internal combustion products. It is standard equipment on the latest 8-Series. There are more than 100,000 SAS-equipped lift vehicles in operation, exceeding 450 million hours combined. The increased population of SAS-equipped vehicles in the field, along with compulsory operator instruction, overturn fatalities across all models have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Furthermore, there has been an overall 35.5% reduction in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and overturn from a lift truck for the same period.
Toyota's pattern of brilliance reaches far beyond its technological achievements. The company maintains a widespread Operator Safety Training program to help users meet OSHA standard 1910.178. Training packages, video lessons and assorted resources, covering a wide scope of matters-from personal safety, to OSHA policies, to surface and cargo conditions, are available through the dealer network.
Toyota has sustained a permanent presence in the United States ever since its first sale. In 2009, Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, produced its 350,000th lift vehicle. This reality is demonstrated by the statistic that 99% of Toyota lift trucks bought in America at the moment are built in the United States.
Situated in Columbus, Ind., the Toyota Industrial Equipment Mfg. campus equals 998,000 square feet of facilities across 126 acres. Facilities include a National Customer Center, as well as production operations and supply centers for equipment and service components, with the total commitment exceeding $113 million dollars.
