Pop machines out in the weather

[stanger]

I have a location that wants to put a machine outside.  It is a Nursery/Landscaping company that has a ton of foot traffic.

My question is this.....  are there machines built for outside locations?  I am in Ohio so freezing seems to be my biggest issue, along with rain. 

Any of you have outside locations?

Look around at walmart and service stations what do you see outside???Pepsi, Coke machines.Yes they work outside

Look on the label of the drink machines where you find the UL listing info. It will state "indoor use only" or "indoor/outdoor use". With that said, use a Dixie Narco or Royal drink machine. I have some machines that say they can be used outside, but I don't think they would last very long outside.

Thanks for the info.  How do the machines keep from freezing in the winter?

Thanks stanger, I wanted to ask that.

In Florida I know how they stay cold outside but do they have a heater up north to keep them from freezing? What a mess to have 100 cans freeze and explode.
