Industry-Leading Safety

Toyota's lift vehicles offer enhanced durability, visibility, efficiency, ergonomics, and all the foremost safety technology that has made Toyota an industry leader. The company's System of Active Stability, often known as "SAS", helps decrease the risk of mishaps and accidental injuries, in addition to increasing productivity levels while minimizing the potential for merchandise and equipment damage.

System Active Stability can discern situations that might lead to lateral volatility and potential lateral overturn. When any of these conditions have been detected, the SAS will instantaneously engage the Swing Lock Cylinder to re-stabilize the rear axle. This adjusts the lift truck's stability footprint from triangular in shape to rectangular, offering a major increase in stability which substantially reduces the probability of a mishap from a lateral overturn. The Active Mast Function Controller or the Active Control Rear Stabilizer also assists to avoid injuries or accidents while adding strength.

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 propel Toyota into the lead for industry safety standards. Now, SAS is utilized 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 action, exceeding 450 million hours combined. The increased population of SAS-equipped trucks in the field, along with mandatory operator education, overturn fatalities across all models have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Furthermore, there has been an overall 35.5% drop in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and overturn from a lift truck for the same period.

Toyota's uncompromising principles continue far beyond the technology itself. The company believes in offering extensive Operator Safety Training programs to help users meet and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Education courses, video tutorials and an assortment of resources, covering a broad scope of subjects-from personal safety, to OSHA regulations, to surface and load situations, are accessible through the seller network.
