Hyster Stand Up Forklifts San Antonio

A few hundred lift truck accidents are unfortunately reported in Canada every year. Operator training is not enough to reduce the number of incidents, enough to say, though, it is definitely one of the most essential parts. Obviously, the right method to preventing forklift mishaps is having the organization and company involved, as well as combining the efforts of each and every person in the facility.



Toyota applies the SAS or System of Active Stability. This technology originated from automotive technology. The SAS is capable of electrically monitoring and controlling forklift operations. This system is really essential for helping lessen the risk of accidents from occurring. When the SAS system senses any kind of instability, its advanced sensors signal simultaneously and engage the proper controller. The Active Mast Function Controller and the Active Control Rear Stabilizer help to prevent injuries or accidents happening by adding stability.



Toyota's SAS system is a patented technology that could detect numerous factors which may lead to 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 occurs, the lift truck's stability footprint changes to a rectangular in shape from a triangular in shape, resulting in an increase in stability. The outcome is an immediate stability and really lessens the possibility of a lateral overturn from occurring.



When the machinery senses instability happening, the SAS engages instantly. Next, the Swing Lock Cylinder is engaged and the rear axle becomes stabilized. This creates the lateral stability the machinery requires to help decrease the chance of lateral tip-overs from happening.



The active mast function operates like the active rear stabilizer control. The active mast function controller system utilizes the same patented technology to detect numerous things which lead to potential longitudinal instability. When the SAS controller detects potential longitudinal instability from occurring, 2 systems become engaged to help reduce the chances of forward and rearward tip-over accidents from happening: the forward tilt angle control and the rear tilt speed control.



The machines forward tilt angle control could sense the mast height and load weight, the will override the operator's manual control automatically. It will also limit the forward tilt that will reduce the chances of forward tipping or spilling. All these safety devices are in place to help the operator be safe.



Utilizing the same load sensors and mast height sensors, the rear tilt speed control is designed to govern the mast's reverse tilt speed to half. This greatly decreases the chances of having the forklift tilt backwards or spilling unsecured cargo.
