Caterpillar engine and machinery serial number
Important!
Caterpillar Product Identification NumberEffective First Quarter 2001 the Caterpillar Product Identification Number (PIN) has changed from 8 to 17 characters. It is the latest version of the product identification numbering standard. Non-road machine PINs are defined by ISO 10261.
The new PIN format will apply to all Caterpillar machines and generator sets. The PIN plates and frame marking will display the 17 character PIN. The new format will look like the following:
CAT 0226B J MJH06954
CAT - Caterpillar's World Manufacturing Code (characters 1-3)0226B - Machine Descriptor (characters 4-8)
J - Check Character (character 9)
MJH - Machine Indicator Section (MIS) or Product Sequence Number (characters 10-17: first three are letters / or letters and figures / or figures only are prefix and last 5 are figures). These were previously referred to as the Serial Number where MJH was prefix.
Machines and generator sets produced before First Quarter 2001 will maintain their 8 character PIN format.
Components such as engines, transmissions, axles, etc. and work tools will continue to use an 8 character Serial Number (S/N).
See sample for C32 diesel engine: RNW00152 (RNW - prefix).
Sometimes producer did not print on the engine's (or old machinery) plate zero between prefix and first number. Serial number is like this: RNW152 or RNW0152. Full and correct is RNW00152.
