Hyster Stand Up Forklifts Tucson

A few hundred lift truck accidents are sadly reported within Canada each and every year. Operator training is not sufficient to reduce the number of incidents, enough to say, though, it is certainly amongst the most vital parts. Clearly, the best method to preventing lift truck accidents is having the company and organization involved, in addition to combining the efforts of everyone in the facility.



Toyota applies the System of Active Stability or SAS. This technology originated from automotive technology. The SAS is capable of electrically controlling and monitoring forklift operations. This system is important for helping reduce the chance of mishaps from happening. Whenever the SAS system detects any type of instability, its advanced sensors signal simultaneously and engage the proper controller. Both the Active Mast Function Controller and the Active Control Rear Stabilizer help to avoid injuries or accidents occurring by adding stability.



The patented technology offered by Toyota's SAS system is in place to detect numerous things that result in possible lateral instability. If and when those conditions are detected, the SAS instantly locks a hydraulic cylinder on the rear steer axle. If this situation happens, the lift truck's stability footprint changes to a rectangular in shape from a triangular in shape, resulting in an increase in stability. The result is an instant stability and greatly lessens the chance of a lateral overturn from happening.



The SAS system engages instantly, when the equipment detects the occurrence of instability. Then, the rear axle becomes stabilized when the Swing Lock Cylinder is engaged. This creates the lateral stability the machine needs to help reduce the risk of lateral tip-overs from occurring.



The active mast function operates like the active rear stabilizer control. The active mast function controller system uses the same patented technology to detect numerous things which lead to possible longitudinal instability. Whenever the SAS controller detects potential longitudinal instability from happening, 2 systems become engaged to help decrease the possibilities of rearward and forward tip-over situations from happening: the forward tilt angle control and the rear tilt speed control.



The Forward Tilt Angle Control will sense mast height and load weight, then automatically override the operator's manual control and limit forward tilt to reduce the chance of tipping the forklift forward or spilling a load. These safety devices are in place to help the operator stay safe.



The Rear Tilt Speed Control utilizes the same mast height sensors and same load sensors to govern the mast's reverse tilt speed to half. This greatly reduces the chances of having the lift truck tilt backwards or spilling unsecured cargo.
