Vending Machine Removals & Relocation in London

Giant Removals provides professional vending machine removals and vending machine relocation services in London. Moving vending machines requires specialist handling due to their weight, internal mechanisms and sensitive electronic components. Our team has extensive experience in relocating a wide range of vending machines safely, efficiently and with minimal disruption to your business premises.

We specialise exclusively in vending machine moving, removals and delivery. Whilst we do not offer installation or plumbing services, we work alongside clients who may require third-party specialists after relocation. Our role is to ensure your vending machine is moved securely and arrives at its new location in perfect working condition.

Operating throughout London, we handle vending machine relocations for offices, gyms, hotels, schools, hospitals and commercial buildings. Our team understands the importance of maintaining hygiene standards and internal component protection throughout the moving process.

Specialist Stair Climbing Equipment

We operate professional robotic stair climbing machines capable of moving vending machines weighing up to 500kg on staircases and up to 1000kg on ground level. This advanced equipment allows us to relocate machines from basements, upper floors and difficult access locations without dismantling, manual handling risks or damage to the machine or building structure.

Secure Handling & Transit Protection

All vending machines are meticulously prepared and secured prior to transport. Internal components are stabilised to prevent shifting, refrigeration units are properly secured, external panels are protected with specialist coverings, and machines are safely strapped during lifting and transit to eliminate movement that could cause internal damage.

Our vending machine removals service covers the whole of London and surrounding areas. Whether moving between offices, relocating gym equipment, hotel refurbishments or commercial building fit-outs, we plan each relocation individually, conducting site surveys and access assessments to guarantee a smooth move.

Vending Machine Move Preparation

Proper preparation is essential for a successful vending machine relocation. We recommend the following steps to ensure a smooth moving process:

  • Clear access routes – ensure corridors, doorways and staircases are clear of obstacles
  • Secure internal components – if possible, lock internal mechanisms to prevent movement
  • Document condition – photograph the machine before the move for insurance purposes
  • Verify new location readiness – ensure the destination site is prepared with appropriate utilities and access

Our team will provide detailed preparation guidance during the quotation process, tailored to your specific vending machine type and relocation requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vending Machine Removals

Do you reconnect vending machines after relocation?

We specialise in the physical relocation of vending machines but do not provide installation, plumbing or electrical connection services. We can recommend qualified third-party specialists for post-relocation installation work if required.

How long does a typical vending machine move take?

A standard single vending machine relocation typically takes 2-4 hours depending on access conditions, distance between locations and machine complexity. Multiple machine moves or complex access situations may require additional time, which we'll discuss during the site survey.

Can you move refrigerated vending machines?

Yes, we regularly relocate refrigerated vending machines. These require additional preparation including allowing refrigeration systems to settle before and after the move. We follow manufacturer guidelines to protect cooling systems and maintain machine integrity.

What if the vending machine won't fit through doorways?

Our site survey identifies potential access issues in advance. In most cases, our stair climbing equipment can navigate tight spaces that would be impossible with manual handling. For extreme access limitations, we can advise on alternative solutions including temporary panel removal where appropriate.

Do you provide emergency vending machine removals?

Yes, we offer emergency relocation services for situations such as flood damage, building closure or urgent refurbishment work. Please contact us directly to discuss your timeline and we'll prioritise your requirements wherever possible.

Is the vending machine insured during the move?

All vending machines are covered by our comprehensive insurance policy during the entire relocation process, from initial lifting through to final delivery and positioning. This protects against accidental damage and provides complete peace of mind.
