KARIYA, JAPAN — Shipment of some models of engine-powered lift trucks manufactured by Toyota Industries Corp. subsidiary Toyota Material Handling Inc. in Columbus have been suspended due to delays in obtaining U.S. engine emissions certification.
Toyota Industries expects the certification process will take more time and is temporarily suspending the production of gas and liquefied pretroleum gas forklift models at Toyota Material Handling beginning June 1.
The company said Toyota Material Handling will restart production of the models once it obtains certification for the engines.
