Industry Leader in Safety

Toyota's lift trucks offer enhanced stability, visibility, efficiency, ergonomics, and all the foremost safety equipment that has made Toyota an industry leader. The company's System of Active Stability, also referred to as "SAS", helps limit the risk of accidents and injuries, in addition to increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of merchandise and equipment breakage.

System Active Stability senses several conditions that may lead to lateral volatility and potential lateral overturn. When one of those factors 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, providing a major increase in stability which substantially reduces the probability of an accident from a lateral overturn. The Active Mast Function Controller or the Active Control Rear Stabilizer also aids to avoid injuries or accidents while adding strength.

The SAS systems were initially 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 utilized on nearly every new internal combustion products and is standard equipment for the new 8-Series. There are more than 100,000 SAS-equipped lift trucks in operation, exceeding 450 million hours combined. The increased population of SAS-equipped trucks in the field, along with compulsory worker education, overturn fatalities across all brands have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Furthermore, there have been an overall 35.5% drop in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and overturn from a lift vehicle for the same period.

Toyota's rigid standards continue far beyond the machinery itself. The company believes in offering widespread Operator Safety Training programs to help customers meet and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Education programs, video tutorials and a variety of materials, covering a wide scope of matters-from individual safety, to OSHA rules, to surface and load situations, are available through the vendor network.
