Environmental accountability is an important feature of company decision making at Toyota and they are proud to be the first and only manufacturer to offer UL-listed, EPA- and CARB-certified Compressed Natural Gas powered lift trucks.

Industry-Leading Safety

Toyota's lift trucks offer superior strength, visibility, efficiency, ergonomics, and all the foremost safety technology that has made Toyota an industry leader. The company's System of Active Stability, often known as "SAS", helps decrease the chance of mishaps and injuries, in addition to increasing productivity levels while minimizing the potential for merchandise and equipment breakage.

System Active Stability can sense conditions that might lead to lateral instability and possible lateral overturn. When any of these conditions have been sensed, the SAS will instantaneously engage the Swing Lock Cylinder to re-stabilize the rear axle. This alters the lift truck's stability footprint 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 assists to avoid injuries or accidents while adding durability.

SAS was originally released to the market on the 7-Series internal combustion products in 1999 and subsequently catapulted Toyota into the industry leader for safety. Ever since then, SAS have been built-in to most of Toyota's internal combustion models. It is standard gear on 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 vehicles in the field, along with compulsory worker training, overturn fatalities across all models have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Also, 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 standard of excellence reaches far beyond its technological achievements. The company maintains a widespread Operator Safety Training course to help consumers meet OSHA standard 1910.178. Education courses, video tutorials and assorted resources, covering a broad scope of matters-from individual safety, to OSHA rules, to surface and load conditions, are accessible through the dealer network.
