Toyota's loaded history of environmental protection whilst retaining economic viability can not be matched by other organizations and undoubtedly no other resource handling manufacturer can thus far rival Toyota. Environmental responsibility is a fundamental aspect of company decision making at Toyota and they are proud to be the first and only producer to provide UL-listed, EPA- and CARB-certified Compressed Natural Gas powered lift vehicles. Yet one more reason they remain a leader within the industry.

Industry Leader in Safety
Toyota's lift vehicles offer improved durability, visibility, output, ergonomics, and all the foremost safety equipment that has made Toyota an industry leader. The company’s System of Active Stability, also called “SAS”, helps limit the possibility of mishaps and injuries, in addition to increasing productivity levels while minimizing the potential for product and equipment damage.
System Active Stability senses several conditions that might lead to lateral instability and possible lateral overturn. When one of those factors are detected, SAS instantaneously engages the Swing Lock Cylinder to stabilize the rear axle. This changes the lift truck’s stability footprint from triangular in shape to rectangular, providing a major increase in stability which substantially reduces the probability of a mishap from a lateral overturn. The Active Mast Function Controller or the Active Control Rear Stabilizer also assists to prevent injuries or accidents while adding durability.
The SAS systems were initially adopted on the 7-Series internal combustion lift trucks which were put on the market in 1999. These systems helped boost Toyota into the lead for industry safety standards. Now, SAS is adopted on nearly every new internal combustion models and is standard equipment for the new 8-Series. There are more than 100,000 SAS-equipped lift vehicles in operation, exceeding 450 million hours combined. The increased population of SAS-equipped vehicles in the field, along with compulsory operator instruction, overturn fatalities across all designs have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Additionally, there has been an overall 35.5% drop in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and overturn from a lift truck for the same period.
Toyota's measure of brilliance reaches far beyond its technological achievements. The company maintains an extensive Operator Safety Training program to help consumers meet OSHA standard 1910.178. Education packages, video tutorials and a variety of resources, covering a wide scope of matters—from individual safety, to OSHA regulations, to surface and cargo situations, are available through the dealer network.
