Hyster Stand Up Forklifts Austin

Every year within Canada, there are several hundred forklift accidents which are reported. Though operator training is definitely the most vital component of preventing workplace accidents, it is not enough to reduce the number of incidences. Clearly, the right method to avoiding forklift accidents is having the business and organization involved, as well as combining the efforts of everyone in the facility.



Toyota implements the System of Active Stability or SAS. This technology is derived from automotive technology. The SAS could electrically control and monitor forklift operations. This system is important for helping decrease the risk of mishaps from occurring. Whenever the SAS system senses any kind 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 avoid injuries or accidents occurring by adding stability.



Toyota's SAS system is a patented technology which could sense various things that can lead to possible lateral instability. If and when those conditions are detected, the SAS immediately locks a hydraulic cylinder on the rear steer axle. If this situation happens, the forklift'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 greatly reduces the likelihood of a lateral overturn from happening.



When the machinery detects instability happening, the SAS engages immediately. Next, the Swing Lock Cylinder is engaged and the rear axle becomes stabilized. This creates the lateral stability the machinery needs to help decrease the risk 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 sense numerous things that lead to potential longitudinal instability. Whenever the SAS controller detects potential longitudinal instability from occurring, 2 systems become engaged to help lessen the possibilities of rearward and forward 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 possibility of tipping the lift truck forward or spilling a load. All these safety devices are in place to help the operator stay safe.



Utilizing 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 really lessens the possibilities of having the lift truck tilt backwards or spilling unsecured loads.
