Industry-Leading Safety

Toyota's lift trucks offer superior strength, visibility, productivity, 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 lessen the chance of mishaps and injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the potential for product and equipment breakage.

System Active Stability senses numerous conditions that might lead to lateral insecurity and possible lateral overturn. When one of those factors are detected, SAS instantly engages the Swing Lock Cylinder to stabilize the rear axle. This transitions the lift truck's stability footprint from triangular in shape to rectangular, providing 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 helps to prevent injuries or accidents while adding durability.

SAS was first launched to the market on the 7-Series internal combustion products in 1999 and subsequently catapulted Toyota into the industry leader for safety. Ever since then, SAS continues to be integrated into most of Toyota's internal combustion models. It is standard equipment 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 compulsory operator instruction, overturn fatalities across all models have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Additionally, there has been an overall 35.5% fall in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and tip overs from a lift truck for the same period.

Toyota's rigid values extend far beyond the technology itself. The company believes in offering general Operator Safety Training programs to help customers satisfy and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Education services, videos and assorted resources, covering a wide scope of topics-from personal safety, to OSHA policies, to surface and cargo conditions, are available through the vendor network.
