dougncin Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 DN600E is just a little wide to fit thru the door. Is it a big job to remove door from machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maestro489 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Have you tried moving it out with the door open. Moving the door through first and then swinging the rest of the machine around the door on a piano dolly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZVendor Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 It's not worth the work and possible damage to the machine, the building and your body to remove that giant door. The way to clamshell it is to have a set of piano dollies that will clamp onto the sides of the machine allowing it to roll through the door while the door swings around the door frame (two man job). Your machine is probably a bubble front which makes it too large to fit through most doors without clamshelling. A flat front will be better but still maybe too large for the doorway. You might need to look at using a smaller machine. Maybe a DN501T if you need to go three cans deep. If the account won't be a barn burner then a DN368 will work.

PHX1 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Pull the door off the machine. I took A royal 804 in a room once and had to it. Had to pop out a ceiling tile just to stand the machine back upright once it was in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorris1953 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I put my 54" lift n rolls on the door and remove the top hinge and wiring. perfectly balanced. Roll the door right in. Also makes it easy to put door back on. The door is shorter than the cabinet so hopefully it will roll in without tipping it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allprovending Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Its easy taking off the door. You will need help though in order to not bend or damage the door plus its heavy. I've done it a dozen times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Use a pallet jack underneath the door. After the top hinge is off you can then jack the door up enough to get it off the bottom hinge and roll the door away. Don't lose any of the brass washers on the bottom hinge and don't turn the hinge height adjuster there or you'll mess up your door height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougncin Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 We got a skid steer to get it up to the door then laid it on a couple piano dollys. But will hire it out next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapitalCityVendingLLC Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 We use the above posted "Lift N' Roll" regularly and its worth it's weight in gold. The only issue we have (happened yesterday) is that it doesn't fit ideally on some of the new snack machines we order (AMS 39). One side fits perfect but the side where the door hinge is, the lift is 1-2 inches too wide to fit underneath. We have a wooden block to put on each lift so that we don't have to pump it up all the way. It helps having a 3rd person to hold the door while clam-shelling because some machines have really heavy doors that may make the machine tilt/lean. If you move machines, they are needed half the time, if not more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
