Toyota Material Handling is the forklift and warehouse equipment business of Toyota Industries Corporation, the original company of the Toyota group (founded in 1926 as Toyoda Automatic Loom Works). Toyota built its first forklift in 1956 and has been the world's largest forklift manufacturer by sales for many years.
What Toyota is known for
- Reliability and resale value, built on Toyota Production System quality.

- Electric forklifts like the three-wheel 8FBE20U.
