Toyota Forklift Dealers - Staying up to Standards

One of the larger benefits from purchasing lifting equipment from a big name such as those at the Toyota forklift dealers, is that you can be sure that you are buying something that is up to the latest government standards. That is true not only in terms of safety regulations, but also for environmental standards. For example, Toyota is one of the current leaders in producing machinery that has reduced its carbon emissions. Its trucks currently are producing emissions that are well below the latest standards set by the EPA.

The government agency that is considered to be the authority in the safety field is a part of the Department of Labor and is known as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA. Their contact information is available at any Toyota lift truck dealers’ office, and can be quite useful if you are looking for full training programs.

They can also give you guidelines to the latest procedures or other mechanical innovations that have been uncovered, so that you are sure that your vehicles are being driven properly and are up to code in terms of the latest safety regulations.

Another way to be sure that you are purchasing your equipment from the most reputable Toyota forklift dealers is to ask them where they find their used forklifts or other machinery. They should be able to provide you with paperwork if asked, for example, that shows the work history of the machine that you are most interested in purchasing. This should include a record of ownership as well as a record of any repairs that the machine has already gone through. With this information, you can be sure that you are making a purchase that will last, without having to throw more money away on costly repairs down the road.



Naturally, there are completely different standards that you should look for depending on whether you are purchasing used products, or are looking for something completely new from your Toyota forklift dealers. You will want to think about several factors before you make this decision, including where you are going to use the forklift and for what duration of time. For example, if you plan on using it only on a contractual basis, chances are that you probably only need a used model. You could even seek out rentals in that case, as many of the top Toyota dealers will also have items available for lease for just this purpose.

Tuning Toyota Forklifts for Optimal Performance

When it comes to forklifts, there’s no such thing as a one-size fits all. After all, what works for a small mom-and-pop retail store may not work as well for a high-throughput forging application. Options such as lights and attachments allow you to customize each forklift to fit your needs , but did you know that adjusting forklift settings can be just as critical to optimizing performance and efficiency? Many forklifts today come standard with pre-set performance and operational settings that can be adjusted through either a built-in multi-function display or an external device such as a laptop. Toyota’s Core Electric and 3-Wheel Electric models , for example, each have over 60 different parameters used to fine-tune forklift performance. Programmable passwords help prevent unauthorized users from accessing these settings. Settings on Toyota Forklifts are highly adjustable as most parameters have eight or more levels of adjustment. Understanding how these settings affect forklift o...

Cold Room Forklifts vs Condensation

Operating forklifts in cold storage facilities presents several challenges that can limit the success of operators and companies. Efficiencies in forklift use become even more challenging when a forklift is placed in alternate temperature environments in the same operation, whether for storage or operation. To make sure you have the best facility design and forklifts for your workplace and application, you should talk to a consultant familiar with your industry generally and your operation specifically to help fill gaps, enhance safety, and increase efficiencies. One of the most important tasks that face cold room forklift users is the need to reduce condensation on a forklift while in warm temperatures , helping to prevent freezing when re-entering frigid spaces. Freezing can cause inefficient operation and downtime for the forklifts, resulting in lost throughput for the cold operations. A few best practices can help to prevent these inefficiencies, providing maximum use of the fork...
