Industry-Leading Safety

Toyota's lift vehicles offer superior output, visibility, ergonomics and resilience, and most importantly, the industry's leading safety technology. The company's System of Active Stability, often known as "SAS", helps limit the possibility of accidents and accidental injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the potential for product and equipment breakage.

System Active Stability senses numerous factors that might lead to lateral volatility and likely lateral overturn. When any of those factors are detected, SAS instantaneously engages the Swing Lock Cylinder to steady the rear axle. This changes the lift truck's stability footprint 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 aids to prevent injuries or accidents while adding strength.

The SAS systems were initially utilized on the 7-Series internal combustion lift trucks 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 practically every new internal combustion models 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 vehicles in the field, along with required operator instruction, overturn fatalities across all designs have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Additionally, there has been an overall 35.5% reduction in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and overturn from a lift truck for the same period.
