When setting up a toy crane machine, a common question arises: Is the power cord a standard length? Generally, most commercial and home-use toy crane machines come with a standard power cord, typically ranging from 4 to 6 feet (approximately 1.2 to 1.8 meters). This length is designed to provide flexibility for placement near standard wall outlets in arcades, game rooms, or homes.
However, "standard" can vary by manufacturer and machine model. Some larger arcade-grade units might have slightly longer cords to accommodate commercial setups. The cord itself is usually a standard IEC C13 connector (like a desktop computer cable) or a country-specific plug (NEMA in North America, etc.) on a standard 18/3 SPT-2 type wire.
If the provided cord is too short, using a UL-listed, properly rated extension cord is a safe and common solution for temporary setups. For permanent installations, consulting the machine's manual or contacting the manufacturer is recommended before replacing the cord, as voltage and amperage requirements (usually 120V/60Hz in North America) must be matched.
Ultimately, while the cord length is generally standardized for convenience, always prioritize electrical safety and adhere to local regulations when powering your toy crane machine.
