: applying TPS-thinking to your manufacturing operations
Toyota has a world-recognised reputation for manufacturing. The Toyota Production System (TPS) has become the benchmark for efficiency and quality, and it has been adopted by manufacturing companies across the globe. The ‘TPS house’ (above) symbolises the values and guiding principles of TPS. Building on this experience, Toyota Material Handling can support customers in manufacturing industries to deliver lean logistics. In most cases the job is to move individual items – usually components – to the right place at exactly the right time. t-motion is our concept for item-handling. Using optimised load carriers with effective tow tractors provides the opportunity for exact logistics in manufacturing. This approach shares many values from the Toyota Production System:
Quality : Just-in-time : Safety : Minimum cost : Elimination of Waste
Proven experience in manufacturingToyota has a worldwide reputation for efficient and high quality manufacturing with the Toyota Production System. This is the foundation for our approach to lean logistics.
Optimised load carriersThe design of the load carrier is critical, to ensure safe movement of exactly the right components, or finished goods. Toyota has a complete range of load carriers to suit different requirements and can also provide bespoke solutions.
Unique range of tow tractorsToyota offers a complete range of electric and IC-engine tow tractors designed for both indoor and outdoor operation, including very lightweight and compact models, as well as heavy duty machines.
Remote drive and automated optionsMany operations can gain efficiency by using the latest technologies to reduce demands on manpower, for straightforward travel. Toyota offers remote control drive and automated travel on many tow tractors.
• Just-in-time delivery to production• Towing standard or tailored carriers
• Handling any load type: palletised or not• Reducing strain on operator
• Operating indoor/outdoor• Fork-free production area for higher safety
• Transporting multiple loads at the same time• Allowing short turning radius
T-motion allows flexible transportation of components and finished goods in manufacturing processes, getting exactly the right items to the right place at the right time. Load carriers can be selected from standard designs or they can be tailored to suit specific requirements.

Toyota application planning guidefor manufacturing
This application guide is intended to provide an initial assessment of requirements. More detailed analysis should be undertaken and options considered prior to final confirmation of requirements.
Starting with the items to be
handled:
Can you use a standard load
carrier or do you need a bespoke
design?
Are you handling the items
individually or as sub-loads with a
pallet or container?
What is the load structure?
Pallet or container with or without
wheels?
Parcel Carrier
Platform Carrier
Shelf Carrier
Platform taxi carrier
with ramp
Taxi carrier with lift mechanism and
pallet dolly
Bespoke design
Customer design
Likely style of load carrier:
Standard Sub-loads
Bespoke design to accommodate assembly kit or similar
Customer already has load carrier design
Individual items
Smaller, lighter items,
hard to stack
Smaller, lighter items,
stackable
Larger items,stackable
With wheels
Without wheels
for manufacturing
What is the planned structure
of the tow train and the route? What are the floor
conditions and environment?
2-wheel steering chassis design
‘free path’
(cutting corners, narrow U-turn)
4-wheel steering chassis design
‘fixed path’
(follows the path of the tractor)
Select tractor from BT Movit range according to:• towed weight• speed• travel distance
Select tractor from Toyota Tracto range according to:• towed weight• speed• travel distance and • driving style• indoor/outdoor use• electric/IC operation
Consider options
for remote control
or semi-automation
Likely style of load carrier chassis:
Type of tractor unit
Single load carrier
Multiple load carriers with no route width
restrictions
Multiple load carriers with route width
restrictions
Smooth floor/indoor
use
Uneven floor or outdoor
use
Toyota Material Handling in Europe
Total coverage The Toyota Material Handling network extends to over 30 countries in Europe with more than 4500 mobile technicians.
Always local – with global supportWherever you are located in Europe, we are always local, due to our extensive coverage, but with the stability and back-up of a worldwide organisation.
Made in EuropeOver 90% of trucks we sell are built in our own European factories, in Sweden, France and Italy – all to TPS quality standards. We employ over 3000 production staff in Europe and work with over 300 European suppliers.
