shepherdsflock Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I recently started a thread about a small area in a laundromat location that I want to fill with something. Right now I've got a triple and a spiral gumball in this location. The other area that I have to work with is approximately 30" wide and I might be able to get way with around 24" of depth, maybe a little more. I can't afford a chicken machine, and there aren't any on the used market that I'm aware of. So, I'm thinking maybe a small crane would be a good machine to fill this space. I know very little about cranes. Who makes a crane small enough to fit in a space this small? What kind of merchandise would I be able to sell in a machine this small? On the used market, what could I expect to pay for a machine like this?
Nick505 Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 It will be very hard to find a used crane to fit in this space. Most used cranes are older cranes; just like anything with age they are not so compact. The only thing I can think of that may work for you would be a Smart candy crane. These things still earn and run 500-800 dollars used. You can run candy or 1" and 2" capsules. Newer cranes that will fit in this area run as much if not more than the chicken. Anyways a couple of those are the new Smart candy crane, SSM Route 66, or the C2C Twilight crane.
jj54 Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Route 66 is in mo, sold by s&b toys & candy in st louis, I'm talking to them about their machines Is there any one know about these machine I to am new to the cranes biz THANK YOU for your reply
Nick505 Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Thanks for correcting me JJ. There was a thread with somebody having problems with the route 66 crane. Not sure who wrote it though.
mjacks Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Candy cranes are the only think I think will fit. If you were closer I would sell you my Chicken machine.
sherlock Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Candy cranes are the only think I think will fit. If you were closer I would sell you my Chicken machine. You selling an All-American or the older 80's version? I ask because I have both kinds and I'm not so sure the old version of the Chicken would fit in the space sherpherdsflock has to work with.

I am not actively trying to sell it right now but if someone wanted to buy it I would entertain offers.
havending Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 S and B and smart both have a crane that will do plush in that space. There is also a older smart crane that will fit there. It has a deep play area and a small claw. S and B makes a good crane in fact the electronic parts and wiring and boards are us made
