Redefine Safety & Efficiency with Toyota\u2019s SAS<\/h2>\n

Empower your material handling operations with Toyota's groundbreaking stability control.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Toyota<\/span><\/div>

Toyota's System of Active Stability (SAS) represents a giant leap forward in forklift safety technology. For years, it's directly addressed the industry's need for safer, more efficient work environments. At its core, SAS is a sophisticated system designed to enhance forklift stability and prevent accidents. It does this by monitoring the forklift with a complex network of sensors, actuators, and a controller. This system is critical for reducing the risk of sideways tip-overs, as it accounts for many forklift-related incidents. Incorporating SAS into your material handling strategy saves money and boosts productivity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"The<\/span><\/div>

Plus, operators gain confidence as they're empowered by technology that reduces accident risks. Did you know that SAS significantly reduces driver and damage costs \u2014 representing over 70% of a forklift's total lifecycle cost? Therefore, SAS not only protects your workforce and goods but also positively impacts your bottom line. Its patented technology minimises downtime and maximises productivity. This makes SAS an indispensable asset for operational excellence.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Toyota<\/span><\/div>

SAS is distinguished by its six unique features \u2014 Swing Lock Cylinder, Speed Reduction when Cornering, Mast Front Tilt Angle Control, Mast Rear Tilt Speed Control, Fork Levelling Control, and Active Steering Synchroniser \u2014 which harmoniously work together. They provide unmatched stability and safety and change how material handling tasks are performed. You're investing in a future by integrating Toyota's SAS through Locators. One where safety and efficiency are not just goals but standards. This demonstrates a steadfast commitment to the well-being of your team and the integrity of your operations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

1. Swing Lock Cylinder<\/h4>

This feature stabilises the forklift by locking the rear axle during turns, preventing the forklift from tipping over. The SAS transforms the forklift's stability footprint from a triangular to a rectangular shape. Doing so significantly increases the vehicle's stability, especially when cornering.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

2. Speed Reduction when Cornering<\/h4>

Toyota's SAS automatically slows the forklift on corners. This doesn't just prevent tip-overs from centrifugal force. It ensures that, even in fast environments, the forklift maintains a safe speed. Speed is a critical facet in improving both operator and workplace safety.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

3. Mast Front Tilt Angle Control<\/h4>

This control system prevents the forklift from tilting too far forward. It thereby reduces the risk of dropping loads or tipping over. By automatically adjusting the tilt angle of the mast based on the load's weight and height, SAS ensures safer load handling and transport.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Toyota<\/span><\/div>

4. Mast Rear Tilt Speed Control<\/h4>

This feature regulates the speed at which the mast tilts back, helping to stabilise the forklift when lifting heavy loads. Toyota's SAS prevents rapid rearward tilting that could destabilise the forklift. In doing so, it ensures far smoother and safer lifting operations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Toyota<\/span><\/div>

5. Fork Levelling Control<\/h4>

With the push of a button, this feature levels the forks horizontally, simplifying picking up or setting down loads. This saves time and minimises the risk of improper loading, which can lead to accidents or damage.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

6. Active Steering Synchroniser<\/h4>

This syncs the steering wheel's position with the angle of the wheels. It gives the operator easy control over the forklift's direction. It also improves manoeuvrability and precision, especially in tight spaces. The bottom line is that Toyota's SAS reduces the risk of collisions and enhances safety.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

THE BENEFITS OF TOYOTA'S SAS<\/h2>\n

Unlock enhanced operational performance with Toyota's System of Active Stability.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

1. Stability in Motion<\/h4>

Toyota SAS automatically corrects the forklift's position to maintain balance. This reduces the risk of tipping over during turns or while carrying heavy loads.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

2. Precise Load Handling<\/h4>

The system ensures precise handling by levelling the forks automatically. This leads to safer and more efficient load management, preventing accidents and damage.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

3. Enhanced Operator Confidence<\/h4>

Operators can work with greater assurance, knowing the risk of accidents is minimised. This confidence boosts productivity and operational speed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

4. Reduced Workplace Accidents<\/h4>

Toyota SAS stabilises the forklift during crucial operations. This doesn't just significantly lower the chance of accidents. It helps create a safer environment for all employees.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

5. Optimised Operational Efficiency<\/h4>

The system's ability to prevent accidents and streamline operations increases efficiency. Less downtime and faster turnaround times mean more work gets done.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
