coin_king Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 For all the people who operate crane machines, have you ever seen or used a crane similar to this one shown there a chocolate pusher crane, they are very popular over here in Australia. Always see people using them from grannies to little kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeke Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 That looks like a typical candy crane here in the States. I would not run this type of crane by itself. if I had the room I would run a variety of cranes. Each with different merchandise. They also have double play cranes. Where if you don't win a plush item or other type merchandise, then it will switch to the candy playfield where it is play till you win. I have never personally been a big fan of candy cranes. Just seem to think that plush and higher end items will make more money per week. Zeke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmuseStar Vending Co Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Actually, Zeke this is not your normal candy crane. I would say try it. However, be prepared to spend about 4k for that machine. It has a cooling system, and all kinds of stuff extra, that will jack up the price. I run United because I am cheap, I would never buy that expensive crane, when you can buy 2 or 3 of other brands and have them in diffrent locations pulling 3 or 4 times more per week.

The Master Key Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Well, Movie Rental Stores, and Convenience Stores are all we have cranes in. Kyle Yea, those are the only spots I usually see them in. Kyle, when you say Movie Rental Stores do you mean something like Blockbuster or independently owned stores? I remember an independent owned video store by me that had a crane and had a Street Fighter 2 arcade game (back when the game was new) that I used to play constantly. But, they went out of business and I don't see any independent movie rental stores around here anymore. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
