Is your toy crane machine constantly trapping prizes in the corner, frustrating players and hurting your profits? This common issue is usually easy to fix. First, check the claw's alignment and tension. A weak or misaligned claw won't lift prizes properly, causing them to slide into corners. Tighten or adjust it according to your machine's manual. Next, examine the prize pile itself. Overfilling the machine or using items that are too light or oddly shaped increases the risk of jams. Use a good mix of standard-sized, medium-weight plush toys or prizes. Regularly "stir" the prizes with the claw during maintenance to prevent a stable, packed-down pile from forming in the corners. Also, inspect the playfield glass or plastic for gaps or warping where small items can wedge. A simple felt or foam barrier along the inside corner can prevent prizes from slipping into unreachable spaces. Finally, consider your machine's settings. If the claw's drop position is too close to the corner, adjust its default release point. Consistent maintenance and these simple tweaks will keep prizes in play and customers happy.
