Caterpillar Serial Number Prefix Identification: GENERATOR: ENGINE – INDUSTRIAL: ENGINE & TRANS – MARINE: ENGINE – TRUCK: Prefix Model: Prefix Model. Caterpillar Serial Number Prefix Sales 2018-08-17T03:58:56-06:00. Here we have provided the complete list of prefix codes for the different serial numbers that I put to use for caterpillar gen sets,and all the figures indicate the model and factory of the manufacturer. Most people also use the same for getting the right match while reordering. The most direct way to find your Caterpillar forklift’s serial number is to check the forklift’s nameplate (also called a data tag). This helpful little label includes lots of various details about your lift–its model, its weight, its lifting capacity, and more.
