Pneumatic 8-Series Lift Trucks boast System of Active Stability (SAS) that electronically monitors and controls operations to reduce the risk of rollovers. Active Control Rear Stabilizer System instantly locks a swing lock cylinder to stabilize the rear axle and prevent lateral overturn. Active Mast Function Controller System senses factors that can lead to longitudinal instability, automatically limiting forward tilt to avoid spilling a load or tipping lift truck forward, and in case of rear tilt, governing reverse tilt speed to decrease chances of spilling unsecured loads or tipping lift truck backward. Other features include overhead guard to protect operator; moisture-resistant electrical connections; oil-immersed disk brakes; stamped steel engine hood and side panels; plate-iron front fenders; asbestos-free brakes; sealed air intake; and hydrostatic power steering. No-tool floorboard lifts out for daily operator checks. Available in gas, diesel, LPG, and CNG models. Toyota Material Handling U.S.A., Inc., Irvine, CA
