Works with driver to keep truck stable
April 1st 2008 Combining Toyota Material
Handling's System of Active
Stability (SAS), operator
presence sensing and
enhanced operator visibility,
the new Tonero enginepowered
forklift is said to
bring new levels of safety
without compromising on
productivity.
SAS actively works with
the driver to keep the truck
stable and operating within
safe parameters and the
company says that there
have been no fatalities from
lateral tip-overs in trucks
protected by the system,
despite a combined
operating time of more than
400 million hours.
The instrument panel of
the new truck and its
overhead guard have been
redesigned to give the
operator a clear view when
forks are at ground level,
lorry bed height and at
maximum height.
For busy environments,
customers can opt for an
additional safety technology
package: the Tonero Safety+
formula offers an advanced
travel control system with a
load weight indicator and
speed limiter to ensure that
drivers stay within site
