McMEnterpr Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hello everyone, I called up A&A today and was told that they do not selling triple bars to place three single heads on a stand. They do sell double bars, however. Has anyone bought triple bars? Thanks, Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Snacks Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Northwestern and LYPC still sells them. However, I no longer buy them from LYPC since they changed manufacturers and their "steel" plate is very flimsy and actually wobbles and even bends when enough pressure is applied! So I now only get them from Northwestern even though they are more expensive - but at least they are solid and don't bend and (I Believe) still made in the good ole USA!

markvend Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Beaver also sells triple bars but they are used on upgraded heavy duty stands (as opposed to the stands regular singles and doubles are put on). I bought some with my route but have never purchased directly from Beaver. They are probably expensive though. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T BIRD Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Selectivend and Seaga each sell one thru Sam's Club. That's where I get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo Duck Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Oak sells a triple bar for its stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepavend Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Triple bars still exist, they are made by a few different companies. But if you are thinking of upgrading to a triple bar, why not go the extra half step and try to get a 4-way in the location? An 18" rack stand is narrower than the triple bar, and you get the 4th head in the spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarter Master Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Brian, XYZ also sells a triple bracket for $20 w/free shipping. Can't attest to the quality,have never bought one myself. Yes, they are out there, just have to look around abit.Just be sure you have a good stand to put it on. That's alot of weight and can be top heavy.

AmuseStar Vending Co Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 What machines are you using? I can get three A&A PO89 Panel/300 machines on a double plate. Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An 18" rack stand is narrower than the triple bar, and you get the 4th head in the spot. Cuz a bar is $12 and a rack is $60. Of course, you can always do what I did. I got a 1x4 length of wood from Lowes and had them cut it to 24". Then I drilled my holes and painted it. Cost me $4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepavend Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I rarely give websites for new stuff a good pumping, so this is rare... http://www.gumball-machine.com/racks.html An 18" rack from these guys, new and shipped is about $50, not bad for new stands. Plus these stands dont require brackets for mounting, unless you are putting a NW80 or similar on. A nice touch. Also, be on the lookout for deals on CL, Ebay, other Vendiscuss members, etc. You never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebob051977 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Along the same lines, is there a triple bracket that does not bow? I pretty well assumed that all triple brackets bow since even a weight lifting bar will bend if you leave weight on it for a while. I didn't like the bowing but wanted to run 3 heads so I got the XYZ Easy Pro to avoid the whole problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmuseStar Vending Co Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I took a picture of one of my favorite set ups. The three PO89 machines on the bottom are mounted on a double plate, and it features a 50¢ XYZ Vend Pro toy on top. I just put this one together tonight and it will go out tomorrow. Most of the time I use all PO89's for this. I have also mixed 2" cap vendors in with this set up before. Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dperry Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 The three PO89 machines on the bottom are mounted on a double plate, and it features a 50¢ XYZ Vend Pro toy on top. How did you squeeze 3 machines onto a double plate? Did you have to drill new holes or something? How do you keep the top machine in place? Do you extend the rod up to the top machine?
