SYSTEM OF ACTIVE STABILITY (SAS) or Equal System of Stability System of Active Stability (SAS) helps reduce lift truck instability by electronically monitoring and controlling various functions of the lift truck. Active Control Rear Stabilizer: Various lift truck sensors simultaneously monitor vehicle speed, fork height, load weight, and vehicle yaw (or angular acceleration). Should the operator inadvertently place the truck in a potentially unstable lateral condition, the sensors trigger the SAS controller to activate the Active Control Rear Stabilizer to help reduce the likelihood of a lateral tip over. (Note: Does not apply to dual drive configured models) Active Mast Function Controller (AMC): Should the operator inadvertently place the lift truck in a potentially unstable longitudinal condition, these same sensors trigger the SAS controller to activate the AMC, which limits forward tilt and/or tilt back speed to help reduce the likelihood of a longitudinal tip over.
