Toyota's rich history of environmental protection whilst retaining economic viability cannot be matched by other organizations and undoubtedly no other resource handling maker can so far rival Toyota. Environmental accountability is a fundamental feature 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 launched 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 intricate 2010 emission standards. The end product is a lift vehicle that creates 70 percent less smog forming emissions than the current Federal standards allow.
Also starting in 2006, collectively with the Arbor Day Foundation, Toyota added to its dedication to the natural environment. To this day more than 58,000 trees have been embedded in the ground throughout national forests and community parks that were damaged by fires and other environmental causes. 10,500 seedlings have also been circulated through Toyota Industrial Equipment's network of dealers to non-profit organizations and local customers to help sustain communities all over the U.S.
Toyota's lift vehicles offer better stability, visibility, efficiency, ergonomics, and all the foremost safety equipment that has made Toyota an industry leader. The company's System of Active Stability, also called "SAS", helps reduce the possibility of mishaps and accidental injuries, in addition to increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of product and equipment breakage.
System Active Stability senses numerous aspects that might lead to lateral insecurity and possible lateral overturn. When any of those conditions 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, offering 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 aids to prevent injuries or accidents while adding strength.
The SAS systems were initially utilized on the 7-Series internal combustion lift trucks which were put on the market in 1999. These systems helped boost Toyota into the lead for industry safety standards. Now, SAS is utilized 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 trucks in the field, along with obligatory worker training, overturn fatalities across all models have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Furthermore, there have been an overall 35.5% drop in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and tip overs from a lift truck for the same period.
Toyota's standard of brilliance reaches far beyond its technological achievements. The company maintains a widespread Operator Safety Training course to help consumers meet OSHA standard 1910.178. Instruction packages, videos and assorted resources, covering a broad scope of matters-from individual safety, to OSHA policies, to surface and cargo situations, are offered through the vendor network.
