Professional Arcade Machine Movers
We're America's dedicated arcade machine movers — a freight-based transport company that specializes exclusively in coin-operated amusement equipment. Arcade cabinets, pinball machines, jukeboxes, and more moved safely anywhere in the US.
Professional Arcade Machine Moving vs. Standard Moving Companies
Most moving companies are generalists — they move furniture, boxes, and household items. When you call them about an arcade machine, you're often met with hesitation, inflated quotes, or outright refusal. Arcade machines are heavy, awkwardly shaped, and require specific handling knowledge. Generic movers frequently cause damage.
We are freight specialists who work exclusively in the coin-op amusement space. We understand arcade cabinet footprints, pinball machine weights, jukebox glass panels, and the proper palletizing techniques that protect these machines. Our single-carrier freight approach is 40–60% cheaper than moving companies and produces better results.

- Distance — local or regional moves start around $150; cross-country runs $350–$500 for standard uprights.
- Machine type — larger sit-down and cockpit cabs cost more than standard uprights.
- Residential liftgate — adds $75–$125 each way if no loading dock is available.

- $10,000 insurance for just $25 — standard movers rarely offer comparable protection at this price.
Why Choose Coin Machine Shippers?
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you cheaper than regular arcade machine movers?
Yes — typically 40–60% cheaper than traditional moving companies for coin-op equipment. Moving companies charge hourly labor rates. We use freight pricing based on weight and distance, which is far more cost-effective for palletized arcade machines.
Can you move an arcade machine locally?
Yes, we handle local, regional, and long-distance moves. Even for shorter distances within a state, freight is often the most cost-effective and safest option.
Can you move a pinball machine and arcade machine together?
Yes — multiple machines in one order often produce better combined rates. Include all machines in your quote request and we'll price the full shipment.
Do I need to disassemble my arcade machine before you pick it up?
No disassembly is required. The machine ships whole on a pallet. Just wrap and strap it — our packing guide tells you exactly how.
