BaneTrain Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 These are my first toy heads and first triples. Let me know what you guys think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BouncyBalls Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 They look top heavy to me. Hotel triple needs display on skittles and gum. 4 way doesn't take up anymore room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerformaVending Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Now there's a triple! I agree that it "looks" top heavy, but you've got the BB's in the center so I suspect you've got it balanced pretty well. Nice one sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaneTrain Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 They look top heavy to me. Hotel triple needs display on skittles and gum. 4 way doesn't take up anymore room. I hope they aren't. They seem ok to me. The hotel I just have the charity stickers on them since I originally ordered 5 total. A small rack would work in hotel but not in the barbershop. I don't have the money for a rack right now. Now there's a triple! I agree that it "looks" top heavy, but you've got the BB's in the center so I suspect you've got it balanced pretty well. Nice one sir! I hope that since I have the bouncy balls in the center it stays balanced but than you Performa. Question to you guys and everyone, have you ever had a setup fall on someone or was pulled down by someone? It kinda goes along with my locating question from the other day but Hillbilly brought it to my attention that it could always happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a couple Vendstars knocked over back when I got started, but that was mostly kids beating them up- not much you can do about that. I'm incredibly paranoid about my setups falling over (it is the number one reason for vending-machine related fatalities after all), so any of my pipe stand setups larger than a double have wider bases.

I completely realize that and it worries me a little bit too. I tend to overthink things though lol. I just don't want someone getting hurt and all the ramifications from that.

PerformaVending Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 The odds of it happening are mighty low. Something to be aware of, and naturally minimize the risk, but nothing to lose sleep over exactly. If you get some good sized units, especially full-line gear, you will want to get some insurance. My insurance is still only about $400 a year for the whole operation, and that's $2 million in liability coverage in the event disaster would ever strike. Hopefully you never need it, but better to have it and not need it than the other way around right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaneTrain Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Well for now, I plan on sticking to just to singles, doubles and the occasional triple. The triples are on a shorter 24'' stand so it's not very high up. I want to get more established before I will get into insurance and all that. I will try not to lose sleep over it lol.

That's the way to do it. I wouldn't even bother insuring singles, doubles, or lightweight triples. I've got a bunch of triples with 2" machines rather than 1", and those I've got covered in the event something would happen. That's about the smallest I'd ever insure.

BaneTrain Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Well I don't have near a 2'' machine on the triples lol. The one inch machine are only 3/4 full. They are on a 1'' pipe stand that is 24'' tall but it seems ok to me? I feel like someone would have to be really rough with them for them to fall over.
