winning123 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hello All, I need help making a decision on a vending setup that I currently have. One of my locations has placed a request for cold food. The location has the headcount for cold food, but lacks the space. Currently I have a crane 168 and 501e live display. For reference, the space I have to cram three machines into is 98 inches wide. My first thought is to keep the 168 in there and go with a smaller baby bev for drinks boosting space for a smaller cold food machine. Any suggestions on how I should tackle this.

lacanteen Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 How often do you work the 168? Is your 501E vending cans or bottles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I have run an ams 39 with a stacked soda machine for locations like this. The downside is the service frequency will definitely increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvending Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 when you say "baby Bev Max" do you mean the 3800 or the 3591? I still dont think 98" is enough space for the 3 machines you speak of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Quick research shows a 168 being about 33" wide and a 501e about 36" wide for a total of 69"... leaving you 29" for anything else. A baby bev should actually be WIDER than a 501e, so it won't save you any space at all. The only thing I can think of that would make this all possible is to go with a 5-wide AMS like Chard mentioned or a USI Alpine. If you could afford it and you needed the extra soda capacity, you could also throw in a USI CB-300. That's about 33" for the 168, 39" for the AMS, and 22" for the CB-300 for a total of 94". I don't think anything else is possible unless you got even more crazy and put two AMS 39's in there and just left it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Kentucky Vending Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Get you a foodking they are 29" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Just tell them there is no room for a food machine. A worthwhile account needs full size soda and snack machines and a Foodking is junky. Doing a full snack and real food machine with a CB300 is moving backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taysha Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Jofemar Vision is 31.5” wide and can handle cold food. But I know you all don’t like foreign machines... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poplady1 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Sometimes you just don't have the space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
