Creating and Managing Parent/Child Linked Assets

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
