Transporting a toy crane machine requires careful planning to prevent costly damage. Follow these steps for a secure move. First, unplug the machine and allow internal components to cool completely. Remove any prizes, tokens, or loose items from the crane mechanism and prize compartment. Take photographs of all connections before disassembling any parts. If possible, detach the crane arm and glass panels, wrapping each piece individually in bubble wrap. Secure the main cabinet by locking it or taping doors shut. Use moving blankets and sturdy cardboard or custom wooden crates to protect the exterior from scratches and impacts. During loading, keep the machine upright and use straps to prevent shifting in the vehicle. For long-distance moves, consider professional shippers experienced with arcade games. Always test the machine thoroughly after reassembly at your new location.
