Hyster Stand Up Forklifts Arlington

A few hundred forklift accidents are unfortunately reported within Canada every year. Operator training is not sufficient to decrease the number of incidents, suffice to say, although, it is definitely one of the most vital components. Clearly, the best approach to preventing forklift accidents is having the company and organization involved, in addition to combining the efforts of every individual in the facility.



Toyota has applied the System of Active Stability or SAS, which is technology derived from the automotive technology. The SAS is capable of electrically controlling and monitoring forklift operations. This specific system is really essential for helping lessen the possibility of mishaps from happening. When the SAS system detects any type of instability, its advanced sensors signal simultaneously and engage the proper controller. Both the Active Control Rear Stabilizer and the Active Mast Function Controller help to prevent accidents or injuries occurring by adding stability.



The patented technology offered by Toyota's SAS system is in place to sense numerous factors that 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 particular situation happens, the stability footprint of the lift truck changes to a rectangular in shape from a triangular in shape, resulting in added stability. The outcome is an immediate stability and really lessens the possibility of a lateral overturn from occurring.



When the machine detects instability occurring, the SAS engages immediately. Then, the rear axle becomes stabilized when the Swing Lock Cylinder is engaged. This creates the lateral stability the equipment 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 uses the same patented technology to detect numerous things that result in potential longitudinal instability. Whenever the SAS controller detects possible longitudinal instability from occurring, 2 systems become engaged to help decrease the possibilities of forward and rearward tip-over accidents from happening: the forward tilt angle control and the rear tilt speed control.



The Forward Tilt Angle Control would detect load weight and mass height, then automatically override the operator's manual control and limit forward tilt to reduce the chance of tipping the lift truck forward or spilling a load. These safety mechanisms are in place to help the operator stay 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 really reduces the possibilities of having the forklift tilt backwards or spilling unsecured cargo.
