Question 1

How much does it cost to move a vending machine?

Accepted Answer

A single machine locally typically costs £80–£200. Heavy units, ATMs or moves involving stairs range £200–£500+. Weight, access and the number of machines are the main factors.

Question 2

Should the machine be emptied first?

Accepted Answer

Yes — remove stock, cash and any loose shelving before the move, and ideally empty the water tank on coffee machines. A lighter, secured machine is safer and cheaper to move.

Question 3

Can machines be moved upstairs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with stair-climbing equipment, but it adds labour. Vending machines and ATMs are heavy and top-heavy, so flag any stairs or upper floors when posting.

Question 4

Do machines need to stay upright?

Accepted Answer

Generally yes — refrigerated machines have compressors that should be kept upright, and many need to stand for a period before being switched back on. Movers will keep them upright in transit.

Question 5

What details should I include when posting?

Accepted Answer

Machine type, make/model, weight and dimensions, whether it is refrigerated, floor levels and access at both ends, and the number of machines.

Question 6

Can you relocate several machines at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes — multi-machine and full-site relocations are common. List how many and their types when posting so drivers can quote with the right vehicle and crew.
