Toyota Forklifts #1 in the World for 16th Year!

PennWest is a Premier Toyota Forklift Dealership

For 16 consecutive years, Toyota Forklifts has earned the title of the world’s top forklift supplier. In 2018, Toyota Industries Corporation captured the top spot with a 33 percent increase to surpass the $11 billion mark as it sold 263,000 units. Toyota’s record-setting performance demonstrated a $4.6 billion lead over the next brand on the list. Toyota has 66 dealers with over 230 locations across North America.

Peerless Media Network recently released its Annual Top 20 Lift Truck Suppliers list, which ranks forklift brands based on worldwide sales, and once again named Toyota as the #1 supplier.

“Toyota Forklifts is customer-driven, which contributes to Toyota’s position as a top brand in the world,” said Jeff Rufener, president of Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A., Inc. “We are committed to safety, reliability and low cost of ownership. Those things keep Toyota Forklifts in the industry-leading position in a highly competitive global forklift marketplace.”
