Toyota's parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, has imparted an excellent corporate principles towards environmental conservancy within Toyota. Toyota's loaded history of environmental protection whilst retaining economic viability cannot be matched by other companies and undoubtedly no other materials handling manufacturer can thus far rival Toyota. Environmental responsibility is an important feature of corporate 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.

Toyota's lift vehicles provide enhanced output, visibility, ergonomics and resilience, and most notably, the industry's leading safety technology. The company's System of Active Stability, also called "SAS", helps decrease the chance of accidents and accidental injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of product and equipment breakage.
System Active Stability senses numerous aspects that may lead to lateral instability and potential lateral overturn. When one of those conditions are detected, SAS instantly engages the Swing Lock Cylinder to steady the rear axle. This adjusts the lift truck's stability footprint from triangular in shape to rectangular, offering a major increase in stability which substantially reduces the probability of an accident from a lateral overturn. The Active Mast Function Controller or the Active Control Rear Stabilizer also assists to avoid injuries or accidents while adding stability.
SAS was initially released to the market on the 7-Series internal combustion products in 1999 and subsequently catapulted Toyota into the industry leader for safety. Since then, SAS continues to be built-in to most of Toyota's internal combustion machines. It is standard gear 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 trucks in the field, along with obligatory worker training, overturn fatalities across all brands have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Also, there has been an overall 35.5% drop in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and tip overs from a lift vehicle for the same period.
Toyota's hardnosed principles continue far beyond the machinery itself. The company believes in providing general Operator Safety Training programs to help users satisfy and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Education programs, videos and assorted materials, covering a broad scope of subjects-from personal safety, to OSHA regulations, to surface and load conditions, are offered through the dealer network.
Toyota has sustained a relentless presence in the United States ever since its first sale. In 2009, Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, created its 350,000th lift truck.
