Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A. - The Industry Leader
The president of Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A., Brett Wood believes that TMHU's success comes from its commitment to construct high quality lift vehicles while offering outstanding client support and service. “We must be able to learn and predict the needs of our customers,” said Brett Wood. “As a leader, our success also depends on our ability to address our customers’ operational, safety and environmental cost issues.” TMHU’s parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, often known as TICO, is listed in Fortune Magazine as the world’s biggest lift truck supplier and is among the magazines impressive World’s Most Admired Companies.
Redefining Environmental Responsibility
Toyota Industries Corporation, as the parent company, has instilled a rich company doctrine of environmental stewardship in Toyota. Not a lot of other companies and no other lift truck maker can match Toyota’s record of caring for the natural environment while concurrently encouraging the economy. 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 vehicles. Yet one more 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 Illinois’s more intricate 2010 emission standards. The end product is a lift vehicle that produces 70 percent fewer smog forming emissions than the existing Federal standards tolerate.
Also starting in 2006, collectively with the Arbor Day Foundation, Toyota added to its commitment to the natural environment. To this day more than 58,000 trees have been embedded in the ground throughout state forests and community parks that were damaged by fires and other natural causes. 10,500 seedlings have also been distributed through Toyota Industrial Equipment’s system of sellers to non-profit organizations and local customers to help sustain communities all over the United States
Industry Leader in Safety
Toyota's lift vehicles offer superior strength, visibility, efficiency, ergonomics, and all the leading safety technology that has made Toyota an industry leader. The company’s System of Active Stability, also called “SAS”, helps limit the risk of mishaps and injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of product and equipment damage.
System Active Stability senses several aspects that may lead to lateral instability and likely lateral overturn. When one of those conditions are detected, SAS instantaneously engages the Swing Lock Cylinder to steady the rear axle. This changes the lift truck’s stability footprint 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.
SAS was originally introduced to the market on the 7-Series internal combustion models in 1999 and subsequently catapulted Toyota into the industry leader for safety. Ever since then, SAS continues to be integrated into nearly all of Toyota’s internal combustion products. It is standard gear on the new 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 trucks in the field, along with mandatory operator instruction, overturn fatalities across all brands have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Furthermore, there has 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 pattern of brilliance reaches far beyond its technological achievements. The company maintains a widespread Operator Safety Training curriculum to help clients meet OSHA standard 1910.178. Education services, videos and a variety of materials, covering a broad scope of subjects—from personal safety, to OSHA rules, to surface and cargo conditions, are available through the vendor network.

Since the sale of its first lift vehicle in the U.S. to the manufacture of its 350,000th lift truck produced in 2009 at Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, TMHU has sustained a unbroken presence in the U.S. This fact is demonstrated by the statistic that 99% of Toyota lift trucks bought in America today are manufactured in the United States.
