Industry Leader in Safety

The company's System of Active Stability, also referred to as "SAS", helps reduce the chance of mishaps and injuries, in addition to increasing productivity levels while minimizing the potential for product and equipment breakage.

System Active Stability senses many aspects that may lead to lateral instability and possible lateral overturn. When any of those conditions are detected, SAS immediately engages the Swing Lock Cylinder to stabilize the rear axle. This adjusts the lift truck's stability footprint from triangular in shape to rectangular, providing 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 prevent injuries or accidents while adding strength.

These systems helped thrust Toyota into the lead for industry safety standards. Now, SAS is used on virtually 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.
