I think construction companies started putting immobilisers in their machines after that because it died out after a year or so.
Most newer cranes, loaders and excavators have a battery disconnect. The older stuff where I work has a switch wired right to the battery. Just open the battery compartment and there it is the cheapest off the shelf switch NAPA had at the time.

Though it's less about thief and more about battery drain. Nothing beats telling people they have to wait to get to work while the batteries charge because someone left the key on overnight.

An automotive style immobilizer would be a nightmare if it ever malfunctioned (or more likely when someone lost the key), as heavy equipment can't easily be towed out of the way like a car. Just taking the key out doesn't really help because most equipment from a given manufacturer is keyed the same (ie one single key will start every Komatsu loader, excavator, bulldozer, etc). A disconnect with a padlock works alright, but even 90% of those can be defeated by hooking a jumper cable from the battery ground post to the frame. Heavy equipment remains hilariously easy to steal.

That's something I find funny working with scissor and boom lifts, not only are they all keyed the same, but for the most part I've rarely run into ones that actually require a proper key as the barrel is completely hosed and can be turned with anything at all.

I still take the keys out overnight, for the illusion of safety.

drat, if I was a passenger in that truck I would follow the driver anywhere after that. I'd have to admit to myself that I was in the company of somebody with far greater instincts and decision-making skills than my own. I'd never make another decision without them.
