SB Candy And Toy Introduces Rugged Metal Mania Crane Machine Line

ST. LOUIS, MO -- New from S&B Candy and Toy Co. is the Metal Mania line, a series of five candy and prize crane machines featuring all-metal cabinets for long service life.

The Pirate, Route 66, Blue Knight, Black Knight and Candy Crazy all ship with LED illumination chase speed, a full suite of sound effects and themed songs, digitally adjustable claw power (made by use of the joystick), two coin mechs and CPI bill validator. They're fitted with easily removable locking casters and rear prize chutes, for what the manufacturer calls "maximum curb appeal."

The Pirate and Route 66 models headline S&B's metal lineup. Both measure 30" W. x 83.5" H. x 34" D., and feature a popular pirate theme and nostalgic Route 66 graphics, respectively. The metal version of S&B's Route 66 crane also affords a novel LED marquee with a spinning glow effect. Both accommodate balls, plush and toys.

S&B's Blue Knight crane measures 30" W. x 78" H. x 34" D. Its compact stablemate, the Black Knight candy crane, measures only 23" W. x 73" H. x 28" D. Both are adorned with Knight Hero graphics and are said to be ideal for balls, plush and toys. S&B's patented Prize Pyramid and Prize Cabinet self-merchandiser options are available.

Designed as a versatile replacement for existing equipment, the new Candy Crazy crane measures only 23" W. x 73" H. x 28" D., but provides large capacity to accommodate candy, small balls, toys or plush. It features colorful candy graphics and marquee, and is said to be perfect for use as a winner-every-time crane.

"If operators want a true workhorse and to get the most life from their inventory, they need look no further than the next generation of all-metal cranes and machines," said S&B president Brian Riggles. "I believe 100% that it is well worth investing a little more money to get longevity from a cabinet. This is pennies a month well-spent to receive a machine that will serve a location for at least 15 years, versus being forced to replace a lesser quality machine in about half that time."

The Metal Mania line is shipping now. S&B also offers candy and toy mixes and plush, performance-tested, to complement the new crane machines. Orders may be placed by calling (800) 773-0531.
