They even often all share the same ignition key.
- mikestew 5y agoAre you confident that is the case today? I know it used to be the case like 30 years ago, but I thought that was fixed since. Or did the advent of GPS trackers allow them to go back to The One Key? :-)
- Arrath 5y agoOh 50/50. I know for a fact that the fleet of haul trucks on my current project all share the same key, and the bulldozers and excavators from the same manufacturer do as well. I expect that equipment in rental fleets are keyed differently, though.
- mikestew 5y agoInteresting, thanks. I've long since become a software dev with tender, callous-free hands so I have no idea what the current state is.
- dghlsakjg 5y agoFor a lot of cat equipment this is true. Go to a caterpillar dealer, and you can ask for a new key by model number. They don't need serial numbers.
