Also, soda machines can be stacked directly on top of each other. This is how a lot of pro refurbishers, including Dixie Narco and Royal, store equipment. Also, even though you have that, you would be much happier flipping it for a profit and using the money to buy a decent forklift. The front stabilizing legs will be constantly getting in the way. A regular counterweight forklift is so much better. Plus you can unload trucks at a reasonable pace with a regular forklift, saves you the cost of liftgate service.

TKK Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Wouldnt they move off the pallets? How do people get the drink machines into a pallet? Seems like alot of work tilting it and shoving a pallet under it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 If you are doing the shelf thing the snacks go onto pallets. If you are stacking sodas on each other then you would use 4x4 lumber on top of the bottom machine to rest the top one onto. And this brings me to the third reason a full size forklift is better: the fork width is adjustable. Meaning you can make the fork width narrow enough to go between the legs of a snack machine or between the 4x4s that you put soda machines on top of.

AZVendor Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 That "device" is too dangerous to use with heavy machines. A forklift is the only way to go. My entire warehouse was double stacked. Snacks sit on top of snacks the 2x6's to spread the legs out if needed. Sodas are stacked on sodas with 4x4's as mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKK Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Do you guys screw the woods under the machines? Or just slide them under there? These forks are adjustable, honestly it is alot stronger than it looks. It weights like 2000lbs itself, and is rated for 2k lbs and extends about 14 feet high, i didnt want a forklift because of the size of them. So those pallet racks are heavy duty enough? Im wondering how to put 2x6s under the legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 It's pretty obvious that you simply place the wood blocks on top of the bottom machine and carefully set the top machine on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southeast Treats Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 a lot of things seem pretty obvious once you have done them, but presuming you know all the answers without checking is why really smart people with big degrees can build bridges that go splat before they are done.....

TKK Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Right? I can imagine not screwing them on would have atracted more heat than just placing them loosley.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryChris Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I wouldn't put anything on top of a food machine. It might be fine but you don't want to potentially damage the seals or insulation somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I have always stacked cold food machines or lighter snacks on top of cold food machines. The legs on food machines line up with the edges of the same model cabinets without cabinet damage. You wouldn't believe how many machines I have always stacked and never damaged one. I probably had 100 machines on top of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orsd Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Pretty much everyone does it. If you Google street view Royal Vendor's factory in Kearneysville, WV you'll see hundreds of machines stacked up just like that in the parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKK Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 How do u guys put the 4x4 under the drink?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 You set them on top of the bottom machine, then you just gently place the machine on top. The 4x4's main purpose is to give you space so that you can pull out and insert forks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKK Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 Yeah i get that part but what i mean is is there an easier way to lift the drink machine onto the forks? Or do you guys rock it on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I used my Dutro to set the machine on the 4x4s from the front of the wood. It's a heavy machine to stand up that way but it's the only way to do it. If you tip a machine and get one side onto a block you'll never be able to tip the other side up to put the other block under it. The center of gravity shifts to that side and only He-Man can then tip it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKK Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 Yeah its like even the ones i have that strap on the sides and lift the machine, its a pita. Once you place one trying to tilt the other side is hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCOTT1963 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 And you can see here how those legs from your lift will cause issues with Pallet racking We only use those lifts to raise machines to repair/refinish legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTT1963 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I'll get a better picture of pop, snacks, coffee and food the frozen are stacked a little different, why I don't know for sure but will ask We don't put anything between them just stack them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
