Hyster Stand Up Forklifts San Jose

Several hundred forklift accidents are sadly reported within Canada each and every year. Operator training is not enough to decrease the number of incidents, suffice to say, though, it is certainly one of the most essential components. Obviously, the right method to avoiding lift truck accidents is having the business and organization involved, as well as combining the efforts of everybody in the facility.



Toyota has applied the SAS or System of Active Stability, that is technology derived from the automotive technology. The SAS could electrically monitor and control lift truck operations. This specific system is very vital for helping lessen the possibility of accidents from happening. When the SAS system detects any type of instability, its advanced sensors signal simultaneously and engage the proper controller. The Active Control Rear Stabilizer and the Active Mast Function Controller help to prevent injuries or accidents occurring by adding stability.



Toyota's SAS system is a patented technology that is able to sense many different factors which can lead to potential 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 stability footprint of the forklift changes to a rectangular in shape from a triangular in shape, resulting in an increase in stability. The result is an immediate stability and greatly reduces the likelihood of a lateral overturn from happening.



Once the machine detects instability happening, the SAS engages instantly. After that, the Swing Lock Cylinder is engaged and the rear axle becomes stabilized. This creates the lateral stability the equipment needs to help reduce the possibility 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 factors which result in possible longitudinal instability. When the SAS controller senses potential longitudinal instability from occurring, 2 systems become engaged to help reduce the possibilities of rearward and forward tip-over accidents from occurring: the rear tilt speed control and the forward tilt angle control.



The Forward Tilt Angle Control will detect load weight and mass height, then automatically override the operator's manual control and limit forward tilt to lessen the chance of tipping the lift truck forward or spilling a load. All these safety devices are in place to help the operator be safe.



Using the same mast height sensors and load sensors, the rear tilt speed control is designed to govern the mast's reverse tilt speed to half. This greatly reduces the possibilities of having the lift truck tilt backwards or spilling unsecured loads.
