Toyota Industries Corporation, as the parent company, has instilled a rich company doctrine of environmental stewardship in Toyota. Not many other companies and no other lift truck producer can match Toyota's record of caring for the natural environment while concurrently advancing the economy. Environmental responsibility is an important aspect of company decision making at Toyota and they are proud to be the first and only maker to offer UL-listed, EPA - and CARB -certified Compressed Natural Gas powered lift vehicles. Yet an added reason they remain a leader within the industry.

Toyota's lift trucks provide better efficiency, visibility, ergonomics and durability, and most significantly, the industry's leading safety technology. The company's System of Active Stability, also known as "SAS", helps lessen the risk of accidents and accidental injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the potential for merchandise and equipment breakage.
System Active Stability senses several conditions that could lead to lateral volatility and likely lateral overturn. When any of those conditions are detected, SAS instantaneously engages the Swing Lock Cylinder to steady the rear axle. This changes the lift truck's stability trajectory from triangular in shape to rectangular, offering a major increase in stability which substantially reduces the likelihood of a mishap from a lateral overturn. The Active Mast Function Controller or the Active Control Rear Stabilizer also helps to avoid injuries or accidents while adding stability.
SAS was first introduced to the market on the 7-Series internal combustion products in 1999 and subsequently catapulted Toyota into the industry leader for safety. Since then, SAS have been integrated into nearly all of Toyota's internal combustion machines. It is standard gear on the latest 8-Series. There are more than 100,000 SAS-equipped lift trucks in action, exceeding 450 million hours combined. The increased population of SAS-equipped trucks in the field, along with obligatory operator training, overturn fatalities across all designs have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Furthermore, there has been an overall 35.5% reduction in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and overturn from a lift vehicle for the same period.
Toyota's rigid values continue far beyond the machinery itself. The company believes in providing widespread Operator Safety Training services to help customers satisfy and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Training courses, videos and an assortment of resources, covering a wide scope of topics-from individual safety, to OSHA rules, to surface and cargo conditions, are accessible through the vendor network.
