Pipeline Games Claw Mania JR. 24" Crane

A 24-inch cabinet. One claw. The full prize window visible from three feet away.

Overview

The Claw Mania Jr. is a compact 24-inch single-player crane machine, built to the same cabinet construction standards as the full-size Claw Mania Senior. At 24 inches wide, it fits floor positions that a standard 32- or 40-inch crane cannot — making it a practical choice for tight spots on a route or in a smaller venue.

Key Features

24-Inch Wide Cabinet Footprint

The cabinet measures 24 inches wide by 27 inches deep — narrower than most commercial crane machines in this category. That footprint allows placement against a wall or in a row without consuming a full machine-width of floor space, and the unit passes through standard commercial doorways without disassembly.

Full-Height Cabinet with Header Panel

The cabinet stands 71 inches assembled, rising to 81 inches with the header attached. The header extends the visible profile of the machine upward, making it readable from a distance across a floor even in a crowded venue.

Commercial-Grade Cabinet Construction

The Claw Mania Jr. shares the same cabinet build as the larger Claw Mania Senior — the same materials and assembly quality scaled to the smaller chassis. This is a commercial-spec unit, not a scaled-down consumer grade machine.

US-Based Parts Inventory

Replacement parts for the Claw Mania Jr. are stocked domestically in the United States. That means service calls don't wait on international shipping lead times — a practical difference when a machine is down on a route or in a high-traffic location.

How It Plays

The player guides the single claw over the prize bed using a joystick, then drops it with a button press. Because the cabinet is only 24 inches wide, the full prize bed and claw travel are visible through the front glass in a single glance — bystanders standing a few feet away can see the entire play without craning to look around a wide cabinet.

Specifications

Why Operators Love It

Fits Tight Slots on Any Route

At 24 inches wide and 27 inches deep, the Claw Mania Jr. occupies a smaller floor envelope than a standard crane. It fits wall positions and corner slots where a full-size 32- or 40-inch machine would not, expanding the number of viable placement locations on a route without requiring a dedicated crane bay.

Domestic Parts Availability Reduces Downtime

Replacement parts are stocked in the US, so an operator waiting on a repair isn't waiting on overseas shipment. For route operators running multiple stops, faster parts sourcing means shorter out-of-service windows per location.

One-Year Factory Warranty

The Claw Mania Jr. ships with a one-year warranty covering the machine — the same coverage offered on the full-size Claw Mania Senior. That covers the initial deployment period when components are most likely to surface manufacturing defects.

Ideal Placement

The Claw Mania Jr. is well-suited for route placements — laundromats, convenience stores, and restaurant waiting areas — where floor space is limited and a full-size crane won't fit. It also works in smaller FEC game rooms, bowling center arcades, and hotel game rooms where a 24-inch footprint fills a gap position without displacing other equipment.
