Toyota Material Handling Presents: Hail State!

Описание: It takes a lot to prep for gameday at Mississippi State University. They need reliable equipment to help them move items from one area of campus to another, so they depend on Toyota Forklifts to get the job done.



Check out these testimonials from the video:

Jason Bane, Sales Manager, The Lilly Company:

Football is very deep in the culture of the South as well as the state of Mississippi, and the lines are drawn. You’re either a bulldog or you’re a rebel, and…I’m a bulldog.

To put on football game at Mississippi State is a major production. 60,000 people plus will be in the stadium on just about any given Saturday.


Jim Gaskin, Coordinator of Athletic Facilities, Mississippi State University:

We want to make a fan experience where, when they come, it is magical.

Everything we do here is all about timing. Just a simple lift by the forklift actually can entertain having to move something 20 times to one. You have no idea what time that saves, I promise!

I've been driving forklifts for 20 years or more, on and off, and Lilly Toyota brand has really blown away each and every one that I've ever been on.


Ann Brett Gillespie Strickland, General Manager of Bulldog Sports Properties, Mississippi State University:

Everything that’s utilized with the football program has to be hauled from our practice facility over here on game day.

You know, the forklift is used in a variety of ways. Not only is the facilities group here at football using it, but basketball and baseball, for graduation, and there’s concerts, and those other things where we need to move big stuff.

On game day, you know, our fans walk into that stadium after tailgating in the junction, and they bring their cowbells and that experience is made possible by our partnerships including ones with Lilly and Toyota, and so they just helped game day be the experience that everybody wants. Hail state!


Dale Calloway, Assistant Athletic Director, Mississippi State University:

Helmet, shoulder pads, cleats, anything you see on the field comes through my department in some shape form or fashion. Kind of the unsung hero, behind the scenes, working. Other people…no one really knows what we do, until it’s not done.
