Toyota's lift vehicles provide improved productivity, visibility, ergonomics and durability, and most importantly, the industry's leading safety technology. The company's System of Active Stability, often known as "SAS", helps lessen the chance of accidents and accidental injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of merchandise and equipment breakage.
System Active Stability senses numerous elements that may lead to lateral insecurity and potential lateral overturn. When any of those factors are detected, SAS instantly engages the Swing Lock Cylinder to stabilize the rear axle. This adjusts the lift truck's stability trajectory from triangular in shape to rectangular, offering 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 assists to prevent injuries or accidents while adding durability.
The SAS systems were originally adopted on the 7-Series internal combustion lift vehicles which were put on the market in 1999. These systems helped drive Toyota into the lead for industry safety standards. Now, SAS is utilized on practically every modern internal combustion models and is standard equipment for 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 trucks in the field, along with compulsory worker training, overturn fatalities across all designs have decreased by 13.6% since 1999.
