Taylor-Dunn Equipment And Efficiencies
Stock ChaserToyota Lift of MN is more than just home to the premier line of Toyota forklifts.  Did you know we also represent Taylor-Dunn?  This family-owned company produces the highest quality tow tractors, burden carriers, and personnel carriers.

 

Taylor-Dunn may be the perfect compliment to your material handling fleet.  Studies have shown that if loads can be trained together on trailers and pulled, efficiencies can be gained, productivity increased, and maintenance costs decreased.  

 

We have all heard the most expensive part of the forklift is the operator. Calculate the saving by being able to haul 5 loads at once.  In the right application, trailering can pay big dividends.  Tuggers and carts are usually cheaper than lift trucks.  Their appetite for replacement parts and service work is also below that of a forklift.

 

If you care to explore more about Taylor-Dunn, trailers, or forklifts, please contact us today.  We will send a trained sale representative to your facility for a no-cost evaluation of your fleet and needs.

Rental Department 
Renting From Us Is Simple And Straight Forward
Rental IconIt is encouraging to see the recent uptick in rental units being delivered. I don't know, right about now I think many of us are hanging onto just about anything that says the economy is turning around, even if there are many questions about it and its future left unanswered.

Toyota-Lift of Minnesota offers terrific new model Toyota, Taylor-Dunn and JLG units. The object being of course is to introduce the rental customer to the level of quality seen in our OE's goods. Beyond that of course, the rental customer enjoys a lot of other benefits seen with rental units.

Proactive: Customer Quality Engineering
CQE Inspection
CQE Inspection at TLM
Let's take quality to a personal level. It is of critical importance to me as well as everyone at Toyota-Lift of Minnesota that the product Toyota Material Handling produces is of the best quality possible. After all we all have a great deal riding on that quality to drive the success we've been fortunate to experience for so many years.

An important part of improvement for any person or organization is accepting input and feedback regarding their efforts. This by Toyota Material Handling is done through their Customer Quality Engineering [CQE] Feedback Group. This group is comprised of a number of Toyota personnel taking informed and pointed feedback towards quality and design issues from fourteen dealership members generally made up of top service personnel. Perhaps it isn't a coincidence that the group has been in existence for about the same ten years that Toyota has dominated the United States and the world in the number of lift trucks sold.

Can You Afford Cheap?
Brake Pedal PadIt is a constant struggle to educate customers on the value of spending a few extra dollars towards genuine OEM parts. We feel so strongly about it we "almost" insist on them when working on competitive units. Time and again the aftermarket or "might will fit" parts end up disappointing everyone in their ability to perform, or in too many cases simply just failing in the application.

Toyota has some excellent examples of just the simplest items, and what the difference between "will fit" and genuine OEM parts is.
