Industry-Leading Safety
Toyota’s lift vehicles provide superior productivity, visibility, ergonomics and resilience, and most importantly, the industry’s leading safety technology. The company’s System of Active Stability, also referred to as “SAS”, helps decrease the possibility of mishaps and accidental injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of merchandise and equipment damage.
System Active Stability senses several factors that may lead to lateral volatility and possible lateral overturn. When any of those conditions are detected, SAS instantly engages the Swing Lock Cylinder to steady the rear axle. This adjusts the lift truck’s stability trajectory from triangular in shape to rectangular, offering a major increase in stability which substantially reduces the likelihood of a mishap from a lateral overturn. The Active Mast Function Controller or the Active Control Rear Stabilizer also aids to prevent injuries or accidents while adding stability.
The SAS systems were originally utilized on the 7-Series internal combustion lift vehicles which were put on the market in 1999. These systems helped push Toyota into the lead for industry safety standards. Now, SAS is used on almost every new internal combustion models and is standard equipment for the new 8-Series. There are more than 100,000 SAS-equipped lift vehicles in operation, exceeding 450 million hours combined. The increased population of SAS-equipped vehicles in the field, along with mandatory worker education, overturn fatalities across all brands have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Also, there have been an overall 35.5% fall in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and overturn from a lift truck for the same period.
Toyota's pattern of brilliance reaches far beyond its technological achievements. The company maintains a widespread Operator Safety Training course to help customers meet OSHA standard 1910.178. Instruction services, video lessons and assorted resources, covering a broad scope of topics—from personal safety, to OSHA policies, to surface and cargo conditions, are available through the dealer network.
