Pipeline Games Prize Factory 36" Crane

A 36-inch crane cabinet. Customer-selectable color. Wi-Fi monitoring built in from the factory.

Overview

The Prize Factory 36" is a full-size crane machine, built in a 36-inch cabinet with operator-selectable cabinet color at the time of order. The unit ships with a coin mechanism installed and includes Wi-Fi remote monitoring via a companion app at no additional cost. A bill acceptor is available as an optional upgrade.

Key Features

Operator-Selected Cabinet Color

At the time of purchase, the operator chooses the cabinet color. The finish is applied at the factory, so the unit arrives in the selected color without any field modification required.

Wi-Fi Remote Monitoring via App

The Prize Factory 36" includes Wi-Fi remote monitoring at no additional charge. Operators connect through a companion app to check machine status remotely — useful for route operators managing units across multiple locations without requiring an on-site visit.

Coin Mechanism Included

A coin acceptor is installed from the factory. The machine is ready for coin-operated play out of the box. A bill acceptor is available as an optional add-on for locations that prefer paper currency intake.

36-Inch Cabinet Format

The 36-inch cabinet width provides a larger prize field than standard single-player cranes, allowing operators to stock a greater volume and variety of plush or packaged prizes in a single unit.

On-Board Sound Effects

The cabinet produces audio during play. Sound output functions as an ambient draw signal in venues where the machine is positioned away from the main traffic path.

How It Plays

The player uses a joystick to position the claw over the prize field inside the 36-inch cabinet, then presses the button to drop. From outside the cabinet, the full prize field is visible through the glass on multiple sides, so bystanders can see the claw's position and descent during every attempt.

Specifications

Why Operators Love It

Route-Friendly Remote Visibility

The built-in Wi-Fi monitoring app lets operators check machine status from off-site — no on-location visit required to confirm the unit is operating. For route operators with multiple stops, this reduces unnecessary service trips.

Ready for Coin Operation at Delivery

The coin mechanism is factory-installed. The machine does not require a separate payment hardware purchase before first placement — it arrives ready to accept coin play. Adding a bill acceptor later is a supported upgrade path.

Custom Color Ordered at the Factory

Cabinet color is specified before production, so operators can match the unit to their venue's color scheme or brand palette without field wrapping, repainting, or aftermarket modification.

Ideal Placement
