 Toyota 8-series forklifts are eco-friendly |
|
Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA) is celebrating its 40th anniversary of supplying industrial equipment in Australia by planting a tree for every engine-powered forklift it delivers throughout 2008.
On current sales trends, the commitment will see up to 3 000 trees planted on behalf of the company by not-for-profit organisation Greenfleet.
As a fully owned subsidiary of a global forklift company, TMHA distributes the Toyota Industrial Equipment, BT Lift Truck and Raymond Forklift brands.
According to TMHA president Steve Harper, the company contributes to the curbing of global warming by actively working to reduce energy consumption and the output of greenhouse gases through the entire lifecycle of its products, services and production activities.
"Toyota manufacturing techniques are acknowledged as world’s best practice, not just because of the quality of what they produce, but because of the efficient use they make of raw materials and the high level of recycling achieved," says Harper.
"For example Toyota’s advanced 8-Series forklift models are a major contributor to our current success and it’s no coincidence that they are amongst the world’s cleanest forklifts and the factories which produce them are world leaders in greenhouse gas abatement programs.
"Even at the end of their working lives, Toyota 8-Series forklifts can make a useful environmental contribution. They are 99% recyclable and, just as importantly, designed to make it easy for recyclable materials to be reclaimed."
