Industry Leader in Safety
Toyota’s lift vehicles provide better output, visibility, ergonomics and durability, and most notably, the industry’s leading safety technology. The company’s System of Active Stability, also called “SAS”, helps reduce the risk of incidents and accidental injuries, in addition to increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of merchandise and equipment damage.
System Active Stability can perceive factors that could lead to lateral unsteadiness and potential lateral overturn. When one of these factors have been detected, the SAS will immediately engage the Swing Lock Cylinder to re-stabilize the rear axle. This transitions the lift truck’s stability trajectory from triangular in shape to rectangular, offering a major increase in stability which substantially reduces the likelihood of an accident from a lateral overturn. The Active Mast Function Controller or the Active Control Rear Stabilizer also assists to prevent injuries or accidents while adding stability.
The SAS systems were initially adopted on the 7-Series internal combustion lift trucks which were put on the market in 1999. These systems helped drive Toyota into the lead for industry safety standards. Now, SAS is adopted on practically every modern internal combustion products 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 instruction, overturn fatalities across all brands have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Furthermore, there have been an overall 35.5% decrease in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and tip overs from a lift truck for the same period.
Toyota’s uncompromising standards reach far beyond the technology itself. The company believes in offering extensive Operator Safety Training programs to help customers satisfy and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Training services, video lessons and assorted resources, covering a wide scope of subjects—from individual safety, to OSHA policies, to surface and load conditions, are accessible through the supplier network.
