No one can keep their hands off it. The skill crane is instinctive, magnetic, and universally understood — which makes this balls & balloons claw machine one of the most reliable crowd magnets you can put on a stand.
This claw machine pairs a colourful festive design with colour-changing LED corner columns that brighten any room and pull people in from across the floor. It is easy to operate with a joystick and a single large pushbutton, fitted with large windows on all sides for full visibility of the prizes, and rolls into place on convenient caster wheels. Plug and play — just power it on and you are ready to go.
For the operator, keyed access through the large panel door opens straight into the gift area. Top-quality mechanics and controller board are built to outlast every other machine on the floor. Available to rent per day, week or month, delivered to any venue in Western Europe right to your stand.
Why it works on the floor
The attraction of the claw machine is universal — it has been the favourite with event organisers throughout Europe for one simple reason: everyone has played one before, so there is zero learning curve and nothing to explain. Visitors walk up, understand it instantly, and stay to play. The lights and looks draw crowds from far, the recognisable format holds them at your stand, and every grab becomes a moment people watch, queue for, and share. That dwell time is exactly what turns a busy aisle into conversations with your brand.
Make money — or give it away free
A full-featured, computer-controlled coin acceptor is included. Run it in paid mode to collect coins and let the machine pay for itself over and over, or switch to free-play for a frictionless giveaway that hands every visitor a prize. The acceptor automatically detects euros, dollars and other coins via the built-in analyser, and the machine ships with 50 brand-new metal game coins so you can start playing right away — coins that work across our other machines too. An optional MP3 sound system with integrated amplifier, subwoofer and USB playback is available if you want your own background audio.
Built for prizes — and for your brand
The XL claw mechanism opens up to 240 mm wide and holds objects up to 150 mm tall with closed jaws — larger objects are possible depending on the clamping force set in the user menu. We recommend 100 mm clear see-through balls, which have huge attractive force and pair perfectly with the XL claw; a selection is available as an option with your order. Personalisation is just as simple: the stickers are all rectangular, so the same machine takes on a whole new look in minutes — swap your decals on yourself, or have us personalise it for you (typically a minimum of three machines for in-house personalisation). One buy-once asset, endless brand looks.
Also known as a skill crane, grijpkraan, grabber or prize crane. Available to rent per day, week or month across Western Europe, delivered to your stand and returned for a full deposit refund.
Options: 100 mm clear see-through prize balls, MP3 sound system with amplifier & subwoofer, and custom decals/personalisation.
