Industry Leader in Safety
Toyota’s lift trucks offer enhanced output, visibility, ergonomics and durability, and most notably, the industry’s leading safety technology. The company’s System of Active Stability, also known as “SAS”, helps reduce the chance of mishaps and injuries, in addition to increasing productivity levels while minimizing the potential for merchandise and equipment breakage.
System Active Stability senses various aspects that might lead to lateral instability and possible lateral overturn. When one of those factors are detected, SAS instantaneously engages the Swing Lock Cylinder to steady the rear axle. This alters the lift truck’s stability trajectory from triangular in shape to rectangular, offering 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 assists to avoid injuries or accidents while adding durability.
The SAS systems were initially adopted on the 7-Series internal combustion lift vehicles which were put on the market in 1999. These systems helped boost 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 vehicles in action, exceeding 450 million hours combined. The increased population of SAS-equipped trucks in the field, along with obligatory operator training, overturn fatalities across all designs 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 tip overs from a lift vehicle for the same period.
Toyota’s hardnosed values continue far beyond the technology itself. The company believes in offering general Operator Safety Training services to help clients satisfy and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Instruction programs, video tutorials and various materials, covering a wide scope of subjects—from individual safety, to OSHA rules, to surface and load conditions, are available through the vendor network.
