The SAS Test Results
SAS Finishes First
Toyota SAS proves itself yet again as a SAS equipped Toyota Tonero finishes top of its class in an independent test of stability in counterbalanced trucks.
The test was undertaken by French certification organisation UTAC - one of the 31 organisations recognised by IATF worldwide (International Automotive task Force). UTAC has developed extensive know-how and experience in industrial testing primarily acquired in the automotive industry. The test protocol was inspired from a test protocol under preparation to become a new EU standard and to be included in the ISO Industrial trucks - Safety requirement and verification. The purpose of this standard is to provide a procedure for verifying the lateral stability of the forklift while driving forward.
We have illustrated the truck performance through a simple "stars" rating system.
