Whenever your moving a vendor that has got legs on it(like your crane snack) stick a couple of strips of wood on your trolley plate, that way when you tilt the big bugger back the legs don't scrape and drag on the ramp or the ground as your moving it along, doesn't alter the height or the weight distribution, just keeps the legs from dragging.
Great video! We are currently getting our own vending company started and we’ve been looking for a versatile dolly like the Dutro 1872. I tried using the link to Amazon in the bio, but it says it’s unavailable. Do you know where else we could look for this model? And about how much it runs for? Thank you!
Thanks for watching! We loved our Dutro. It was a life saver so many times. I see that they are no longer sold on Amazon. You might try reaching out to Dutro directly to find out where to source them and a current price. Good luck on your vending adventure!!
We are able to get machines through the door with the Dutro. You just need to get comfortable with it and having a second person always makes it easier. We are able to move machines with only a Dutro, no pallet jack. Thanks
The Dutro vending machine hand truck is great at moving any vending machines, including drink. New they are around $750 depending where you can find it. Try FB marketplace as well, you can sometimes get a deal on a used one. Thanks for watching!
So normally I have a mover and had to move one recently like a day or two after I made the comment and your video really did help me go into it confident! I have a heavy duty appliance dolly but still handled it pretty well so thanks
That would be a good video. I don't have any plans for a trailer anytime soon though. If you have a question I can help you out. Some trailers have a little gap or bump you need to get over. A cardboard box folded over the edge or even a piece of strong diamond plate can solve that "bump" to get over. That is the biggest problem with it. Otherwise, we have moved tons of machines on and off a trailer with a Dutro. Thanks for watching.
I’ve seen other venders use a pallet jack to move their machines around. Have you ever tried that yourself or have you always used a dolley to move them? Do you find it more convenient using a dolley?
Hi there. We have used a pallet jack before. On level ground they work and can get the job done for sure. Now to load one on a trailer with a pallet jack can be dangerous. We love the Dutro because it takes the weight off of you and you can go up inclines with a machine no problem. Moving vending machines can be a challenge with the wrong equipment, just be careful and remember that they weigh on average around 750 pounds. Thanks so much for watching!
@@justincaldero5174 Oh yeah! Honestly if you use this around ANYONE that uses a pallet jack they will quit using a pallet jack. They will question you on the spot like crazy. Way way better than a pallet jack. Even for going through doors you can clamshell the machines. No problem for us and no worries!
two years ago and I'm finding this video very informative. I like how you make the video fun.
We are so happy that this video has been helpful. Thanks for watching and have a good day!
@TrueNorthDueSouth so how is your business going now after 2+ years?

Thanks for the tips! You certainly do learn so much the more you get into vending. Have a good day!
Foam, rubber or even old curtains and blankets wrapped around the tubing where the vending machine sits will prevent scratches on the side
Thanks Kenn, for the tip. We appreciate you watching. Happy new year!
Awesome Dolly 👍💯
It is seriously a back saver. So thankful for this bad boy!
Great video guys 👍 great workout too xx
It really is a good workout. All in all this has been a great side business for so many reasons.
Cool video td. Y’all getting them big 💪🏻 by grabbing those big machines. Going to be ripped like the rock before you know it
You know it! Ripped like the Rock!!
Si nice vending machine
Thanks! We like our vending machines too!
nice i always strapped from the back less weight 👍
👍 Gotcha, thanks for the tip.
anytime 👍
Does tilting a drink machine like this put any stress to compressor? Thanks for the vid!
Not that I am aware of. It’s only tilted for a short time and it’s a quick and smooth movement. We’ve had no problems with anything!

Have you been able to get machines through the door with that too? Or do you also keep a pallet jack for that?

How much is that dolly and will it work for drinks machines

very handy
Indeed it is!
I want to buy a trailer like the uhaul in your video. Who sells them? Having the hardest time finding one to buy.
Hey Chris. Good luck on your search for a trailer. We always rented a trailer when needed.
haha i was about to say geez they scratched that machine all up just rolling it off the trailer!?!?! lol
Haha that would be horrible to scratch up a machine while using a Dutro. It’s was one of our best purchases!

Do you use a winch to get it on?
No you don’t need to use a winch by having a dutro you push it on.
What about a video of you loading it on the trailer with that Dutro dolly?

@@TrueNorthDueSouth Is it easier to load up the ramp with this dolly as opposed to a pallet jack?
