In this episode I move a few of my soda machines using an Anderson Vending Machine Dolly. If you are interested in the dolly, you can check out their website: www.andersondo...
Being a service technician and someone who installs/moves machines on a weekly basis, we move them empty, full, through doors, up truck lifts, ramps, stairs, etc. I've dropped two machines. No fun. This stuff is more dangerous than the average person may think. Imagine dropping a glass front Dixie narco beverage machine, glass side down, in front of a busy Home Depot right in the parking lot. Ha! That was one I learned from. Anyway, thanks for showing this side of vending because it's a reality and these machines get into buildings somehow! Glad you showed this to people. Fun fact: more people die each year by being crushed by vending machines than by sharks attacks. At least in the US.
@@HappyVending Many people think you can't do this, and I have never figured this out before, but sometimes, you can look for a 100% intact warning label for vending machines that tells you to not tip or rock them without any flaws whatsoever that is perfectly clean, measure the height (and width) with an index card telling you the details the sticker you're measuring the height (and width) of has or doesn't have on one side, adjust the printing scale to get the height of it to match the height of the regular one on your image, and if it's the correct height, color the sticker in correctly except for the background if the lighting on the image is good, and if you use it on a vending machine without a normal warning sticker either outside or in a laundromat, laminate it, and then use the copy of the sticker as a normal warning sticker on whatever vending machine without a normal variant it would be. When the image is 100% consistent and consistently colored in, and the sticker on the image you copy is the same height (and width), it looks pretty much the same as a random normal one when you ignore the minor background around it after trimming the paper when you finish correctly coloring (and laminating) it. I copied and colored one and then stuck it on an Aquafina. Oddly enough, nobody peeled it off since it looks authentically the same as what they made from the factory.
Started watching your videos a few months ago bc i got into the vending business, i appreciate all the videos been learning alot threw your channel , after only 4 months i have over 13 machines & the business is growing every day , Thank you pal .
I am the one who damaged one of your machines 2-3 months ago. I had been drinking and a selection hung up. So I made a poor choice to strike the machine repeatedly and shake it. I heard a pop and it stopped working.
Nice video and very professional vending machine move. I'm a 22-year vending veteran and I also have the Anderson Dolly that I use on occasion but mine doesn't have the adjustable height option. I usually move large soda machines with a custom sized pallet jack and put 2 4x4s under the edges to raise it up. Like you said, moving machines can be very dangerous. It's important to have the right moving equipment to do the job safely. Thank you for showing the "other" side of vending, it's not all about pulling money.
Is been on and off raining where I live I love your videos plus I'm obsessed and fascinated With coin operated machine's like Vending machine Gambling machines Claw machines Any other machines with coin operated I been like this since I was a kid
Would you feel comfortable pushing it UP a ramp that you have to push hard on? Im contemplating buying this, a hitch, a trailer and moving my own machines, but im worried im not strong enough pushing it up a ramp.
I guess it depends on how steep the ramp is. It is always best to bring someone to help you when you're moving machines onto a trailer. I would always have a second person with me when doing that.
I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work got a question I have a Vendo 511 I replace the coin op I replace the dollar bill I replace the motherboard. I even replace the little tiny LED light that says one dollar for pop I have power to the coin Mac and the dollar bill, but it’s still not except a dollar bill or coins and the little LED light will not light up. Do you have any thoughts? Thanks, Dave.
What little LED light are you referring to? Is it an exact change or sold out light? Do you have product in the machine? Did you check for any blown fuses? Are the lights coming on int he machine? Does the compressor kick on?
@@HappyVending thank you for getting back to me. It does have product. It does have coins in the machine compressor works perfectly I put two new fuses in. I know this may sound stupid but it seems like there’s only 117 or 118 when you check for power it should say 120 everywhere. Right
@@daydaysaint6657 Has the machine ever worked for you? Did you test vend each column using the test motor feature? (I'm assuming it has a test motor feature like royals and dixies). Possibly one of the motor switches is bad. Did you try disconnecting the bill acceptor and only use the coin acceptor? (with power disconnected while doing that). 117 volts is close enough to 120..so that isn't the problem. Check for broken wires on the door.
What model Anderson dolly would you recommend, On the site it didn’t seem to have any with pictures that look as easily adjustable as the one in your video
Get the vending dolly with the adjustable height. I did not modify the dolly...it came with the pins. www.andersondolly.com/Adjustable-Vending-Dolly-5-inch-caster-1300-pound-capacity-set-of-2-with-retractable-ratchets_p_60.html
There is no OSHA regulation requiring vending machines to be mounted to walls. The only time that vending operators mount their machines to the wall is when people shake them to try to get free products. That is not a problem at my location.

@@HappyVending thanks, I came across your channel yesterday as I was looking at Nyax equipment for my vending machines and I’ve been binge watching all of your videos haha
If some one is having one of this delivered and they just need it moved into location how much would you charge and can you move it without on of those tilt dolly’s by yourself.
My dollies are a bit different, from GI they are bit more bulkier looking, but with 1ton capacity on each, never have a problem, but now i am looking for something to go up and down the stairs, can someone suggest a stair machine?
@@StrokeMahEgo Yes...but they limit how much Prime you can buy in one order. It would be too hard for me to vend a product that I can't get big quantities of to keep up with demand.
Hello ik this is not the topic desiccation but please i beg it would be a massive help is there any way you can tell me how to connect my visa to a card reader cause i have no clue at all its my first time doing it and it would help alot i do hope u see this and can get back to me 🙏
Hi first and foremost thank you so much for taking the time to respond to me i truly do appreciate it 🙏 and no i just want to know how to have transactions go straight to my card like for example if a costumer uses a card on my machine i how do i set it up to were the money goss to my account or Business account ik it probably sounds super contour productive to ask but im just new to all this and want to know as much as possible 🙏
@@gstream1568 When you are creating your account with Nayax, you give them your bank account information and they connect your Nayax account to your bank. Then, they auto-deposit your money into your bank account every week. You must do this through your Nayax rep.
The Anderson dolly is a cute toy. I remmeber when I had it. Good to have if you're out of options. Not a good dolly if you're serious about moving vending machines.

Thanks for the insight! Luckily, I don't have to move my machines very often...and I haven't dropped one yet (fingers crossed).

How to acquire locations? Did you know how to repair vending machines before you started watching these videos? Aedin
@@aedinquinn8687 nope learned everything from trial & error plus a lot of UA-cam videos lol I'm learning something new everyday

Thanks for your comments.
I just purchased an Anderson Dolly myself. Glad I found out about them.
Bill that was my lucky $ your crazy for moving like this but I respect the hell out of u thanks for your programs 😊
Everything you talk about in your videos just make sense. Keep up the footage I enjoy watching.
Thanks!
Great video I wish I could use those to move mine but it’s impossible having so many. And your great with students
I got a free vending machine yesterday, is nice to know the correct way to move it after the fact. Thanks!
Am I the only one who is getting "The Office" vibes from this video? Hahahaha... Useful info man :)
Is been on and off raining where I live
I love your videos plus I'm obsessed and fascinated
With coin operated machine's
like
Vending machine
Gambling machines
Claw machines
Any other machines with coin operated
I been like this since I was a kid
Check out my friend's channel...he has thousands of coin operated machines in his collection: www.youtube.com/@MainStreetRANDYLAND
you do a great job wish you would make some more videos....

The link is in the description.
What model Anderson dolly would you recommend,
On the site it didn’t seem to have any with pictures that look as easily adjustable as the one in your video
Did you happen to modify it with pins ?

Where is OSHA?
When will you anchor these machines to the wall?
There is no OSHA regulation requiring vending machines to be mounted to walls. The only time that vending operators mount their machines to the wall is when people shake them to try to get free products. That is not a problem at my location.
Hi ive got a question to ask can cans and bottles fit in a snack machines
Most machines made in the last 30 years yes. Some older machines were cans only....but I don't run.any machines that old.
@@HappyVending okay can your snack machine takes cans
@@teamalanmountjoy3244 No...my snack machines are not refrigerated.
There are combo machines that do both...but I don't run any of those. They have limited capacity and you spend most of your time filling the machine.
@@HappyVending okay so how's your day been

If some one is having one of this delivered and they just need it moved into location how much would you charge and can you move it without on of those tilt dolly’s by yourself.
I've moved machines with pallet jacks and appliance dollys before. It's not ideal, but it can be done.
Happy vending!

Post this question on the vendiscuss.net forum. Lot's of vendors that move machines will have suggestions for you.
Where can I get some of those dolly jacks?

Where did you buy those dolly’s?

Buen día , me podrás informar donde comprar los accesorios para mover la máquina vending, y como se llaman , saludos gracias

A job well done !!!!
How did you get up the ramp?🤔
The one guy pushed, and I pulled. It actually wasn't that hard since the machine was empty.
You don’t bolt the machines to the wall so kids don’t tip it over?
That hasn't been a problem at my school. We do have cameras that can monitor the machines.
You should put prime in there where I live it cost £10 a bottle I looked up on Google you can get it $29.99 pac of 12 in America
I actually tried getting it...but it is impossible to find near me....at least not in multipacks.
@@HappyVending okay 2hen is your next video mate
@@teamalanmountjoy3244 Hopefully soon!
@@HappyVending do you have a GNC near you?
@@StrokeMahEgo Yes...but they limit how much Prime you can buy in one order. It would be too hard for me to vend a product that I can't get big quantities of to keep up with demand.

Do you have any food wheel machines?
No I do not.

Thank you so much is that the same process with others as well or just nynax and again this is super helpful i truly thank you for your time 🙏
I Like thous lifts, i think if you put on some pool noodles on the lifts , it may help you.
Yeah...or some pipe insulation foam. I think some of their dollies come with that, but for whatever reason, mine did not.
@@HappyVending . there always cutting cost. o well. take care.
The Anderson dolly is a cute toy. I remmeber when I had it. Good to have if you're out of options.
Not a good dolly if you're serious about moving vending machines.
What do you recommend instead?
