Pipeline Ticket Locker 24" Crane

A 24-inch prize bin. Two coin mechs. One configurable claw overhead.

Overview

The Pipeline Ticket Locker Crane SE 24" is a commercial-grade skill crane built for operators entering or expanding in the plush toy and prize crane business. The cabinet ships with two coin mechanisms installed and a starter prize fill included, and it supports configurable play modes — Winner Every Time or Skill Play — selectable from the operator menu. Payment upgrades, remote monitoring via Wi-Fi, and MicroSD music customization round out a machine built to run with minimal setup time.

Key Features

Dual Coin Mechanisms Installed

The machine ships with two coin mechs already installed in the cabinet. No additional hardware purchase is required to begin coin-op play on day one.

Configurable Play Mode: Winner Every Time or Skill Play

The operator menu offers two distinct play settings. Winner Every Time programs the claw to deliver a successful grab on a set cycle, guaranteeing a prize on that play. Skill Play returns the machine to standard claw-strength operation, where the outcome depends on player timing and positioning.

Wi-Fi Remote Monitoring

The cabinet includes Wi-Fi connectivity that allows operators to track income and prize-out counts remotely from a phone. This feature is currently available at no charge while in beta testing.

MicroSD Music Customization

In-cabinet audio is controlled via a MicroSD card slot accessible to the operator. Swapping the card updates the machine's music without any software tools or service calls.

Payment Upgrade Options

A dollar bill acceptor and a credit card reader are each available as optional add-ons. Both install into the existing cabinet, expanding accepted payment types beyond coin without replacing the base hardware.

Starter Prize Fill Included

Every unit ships with a prize fill valued at over $100, so the machine arrives ready to stock and deploy. The bin accommodates rubber ducks, small plush, and other similarly sized prizes.

How It Plays

The player maneuvers the claw over the prize bin using the joystick, then presses the button to drop onto the target. In Winner Every Time mode, the claw closes with full grip strength on the programmed cycle, producing a visible, clean lift and drop into the chute. In Skill Play mode, the outcome varies with claw positioning — a missed grab leaves the prize sitting in the bin, visible through the cabinet glass to anyone nearby.

Specifications

Why Operators Love It

Parts Stocked Domestically

Replacement parts for the Ticket Locker Crane SE 24" are stocked in New Jersey — no waiting on international freight or overseas lead times when a component needs swapping.

Compact 23-Inch Footprint

At 23 inches wide, the cabinet fits into floor space that larger two- or four-player cranes cannot, making it workable for single-slot placements, smaller venue corners, and route stops with limited square footage.

Phone and After-Hours Tech Support

Phone support is available during business hours, with after-hours support by appointment. Route operators who can't pull a machine during normal business hours have a direct line to technical help outside standard windows.

Remote Income Tracking via Wi-Fi

The built-in Wi-Fi module reports income and prize-out data to the operator's phone — removing the need for a physical cash count visit just to check machine activity. Currently available at no charge during beta.
