It is possible to link one asset to another in Fleet360.

  • a truck can be linked to a compressor or generator

  • a bus can be linked to a wheelchair lift or fare box

  • a building can be linked to an A/C unit

  • It is also possible to link multiple assets to one another—a tractor can be linked to a trailer to a lift gate, and so on

How to Link Assets

    1. Refer to Adding Assets if instructions for adding assets to the software are needed.

  5. Enter the asset number for what is to be the child asset
