Industry Leader in Safety

Toyota's lift vehicles offer superior strength, visibility, output, ergonomics, and all the foremost safety technology that has made Toyota an industry leader. The company's System of Active Stability, also referred to as "SAS", helps decrease the chance of incidents and accidental injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of merchandise and equipment breakage.

System Active Stability is able to sense conditions that could lead to lateral unsteadiness and possible lateral overturn. When any of these factors have been sensed, the SAS will instantaneously engage the Swing Lock Cylinder to re-stabilize the rear axle. This changes the lift truck's stability footprint from triangular in shape to rectangular, providing 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 helps to avoid injuries or accidents while adding strength.

SAS was initially introduced to the market on the 7-Series internal combustion models in 1999 and subsequently catapulted Toyota into the industry leader for safety. Since then, SAS have been built-in to nearly all of Toyota's internal combustion products. It is standard gear on 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 required worker instruction, overturn fatalities across all brands 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 tip overs from a lift vehicle for the same period.

Toyota's uncompromising values reach far beyond the technology itself. The company believes in providing extensive Operator Safety Training services to help customers meet and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Instruction packages, video lessons and a variety of resources, covering a wide scope of topics-from individual safety, to OSHA regulations, to surface and load conditions, are available through the vendor network.
