Environmental responsibility is a fundamental 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. Yet another reason they remain a leader within the industry.

Toyota's lift vehicles provide enhanced efficiency, visibility, ergonomics and durability, and most notably, the industry's leading safety technology. The company's System of Active Stability, also called "SAS", helps reduce the possibility of accidents and accidental injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the potential for merchandise and equipment breakage.
System Active Stability can perceive situations that could lead to lateral volatility and likely lateral overturn. When one of these conditions have been sensed, the SAS will instantly engage the Swing Lock Cylinder to re-stabilize 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 stability.
The SAS systems were initially used on the 7-Series internal combustion lift trucks which were put on the market in 1999. These systems helped propel Toyota into the lead for industry safety standards. Now, SAS is utilized on nearly every modern internal combustion products 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 vehicles in the field, along with obligatory operator instruction, overturn fatalities across all brands have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Also, there have been an overall 35.5% reduction in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and overturn from a lift truck for the same period.
Toyota's uncompromising standards extend far beyond the technology itself. The company believes in offering extensive Operator Safety Training programs to help users meet and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Training packages, videos and a variety of materials, covering a wide scope of subjects-from individual safety, to OSHA rules, to surface and cargo conditions, are accessible through the seller network.
