Redefining Environmental Responsibility
Toyota's parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, has imparted an outstanding company values towards environmental management within Toyota. Toyota's loaded history of environmental protection whilst retaining economic viability can not be matched by other organizations and unquestionably no other materials handling maker can thus far rival Toyota. Environmental accountability is a key aspect of corporate decision making at Toyota and they are proud to be the first and only manufacturer to offer UL-listed, EPA- and CARB-certified Compressed Natural Gas powered lift vehicles. Yet one more reason they remain a leader within the industry.
Toyota first released 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.

Toyota's lift vehicles provide better output, visibility, ergonomics and durability, and most notably, the industry's leading safety technology. The company's System of Active Stability, often known as "SAS", helps lessen the chance of accidents and injuries, in addition to increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of product and equipment breakage.
System Active Stability is able to discern circumstances that could lead to lateral instability and possible lateral overturn. When any of these factors have been detected, the SAS will immediately engage the Swing Lock Cylinder to re-stabilize the rear axle. This transitions the lift truck's stability footprint 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 avoid injuries or accidents while adding strength.
The SAS systems were originally adopted on the 7-Series internal combustion lift vehicles which were put on the market in 1999. These systems helped propel Toyota into the lead for industry safety standards. Now, SAS is used on almost every new internal combustion models 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 required worker training, overturn fatalities across all models have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Additionally, there have 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 uncompromising standards continue far beyond the technology itself. The company believes in offering widespread Operator Safety Training courses to help users meet and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Instruction programs, video lessons and assorted resources, covering a broad scope of subjects-from personal safety, to OSHA rules, to surface and cargo situations, are offered through the dealer network.
