Faith Vending Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Do you mean you cannot chain it down or screw it down per the owner? If so and it is vulnerable to theft don't place it, move on. Not worth it IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxer518 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I have signs on mine in places where they have been tipped or rocked in the past asking not to do so and they u usually stop. I think once they know you know they are tipping it they will stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tljlf2000 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Well.. putting a sign about not shaking the machine will be the correct thing to do.. But im Vending in "special places" where truck drivers, lifter drivers, packagers, etc works there so alot of heavy wight guys.. they dont care just steal.. and the company is not responsable.. There should be a mechanism or something to provent from this kind of activity (shaking machines)? By the way I work in a familly bussiness with 20 people aprox.. 200 glassfront AMS Sensit II Combo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission vending Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I once had a location where the machines were "abused", the guards at a parole violators facility. They would take out their fustrations on the equipment so they themselves wouldn't get locked up for abusing the prisoners. Never got it to stop, but it did help a lot when I bolted the machines together and put around 800 pounds of scrap steel in the bottom of the snack and soda machine. The combined weight of the two machines with a full load of soda and the scrap metal was around 2000 pounds. Makes it pretty hard to move. You might need to put a spacer between the machines for door clearances so look out for that if you try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingschild Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I'm sure learning a lot on this site. I didn't consider this type of abuse to the machine. I have 5 snack/combos I'm placing. Should I avoid trucking/warehouses? I don't know anything about bolting the machine down. How would u do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
