You Don't Lift a Finger. We Handle Everything.

A modern pinball machine weighs around 280 pounds. A vintage cabinet can weigh over 300. Most people who sell a machine have no idea how they're going to move it, and honestly, they shouldn't have to.

When we buy your machine, pickup is included. We show up with the truck, the dolly, the moving blankets, and the team to get it out safely. Your floors stay clean. Your walls stay intact. Your back doesn't get involved.

What We Bring

The Right Equipment for the Job

Every pickup rolls up with the gear to move a pinball machine properly, no matter where it lives in your home.

Enclosed Truck

Weather-sealed cargo space that keeps your machine dry and protected from start to finish.

Stair-Climbing Dolly

Motorized dolly that safely walks heavy cabinets up or down finished basement stairs without risk.

Moving Blankets

Heavy-duty padded blankets wrap the cabinet and backbox to protect artwork, corners, and glass.

Straps and Ratchets

Securing straps to immobilize the machine in the truck so it doesn't shift in transit, even on rough roads.

Location Challenges

We've Moved Machines Out of Everywhere

Tight turns, narrow stairs, second-floor walk-ups, storage units with impossible aisles. If there's a pinball machine in it, we've figured out how to get one out of it.

Most Common

Finished Basement

Narrow turns at the bottom of the stairs, low ceilings, and tight doorways. We use a stair-climber dolly and tip technique to get the machine up without banging the drywall.

Second Floor

Upstairs Game Room

Second-floor bonus rooms are trickier than basements because there's only one way down. We send a two-person team and use heavy-duty straps for full control on the descent.

Apartment Buildings

Walk-Up or Elevator

Condo, co-op, or walk-up apartment. We check the elevator dimensions ahead of time or plan the stair route. We work with building supers when needed.

Storage Units

Storage Facility

Long narrow aisles, tight storage rooms, and roll-up doors. We bring smaller equipment for confined spaces and coordinate access times with the facility.

Detached

Garage or Shed

Easier than indoor pickups most of the time. Ground-level access, wide doors, and usually room to maneuver. We still wrap and strap for transit.

Commercial

Arcade or Business Location

Bar, restaurant, arcade, office. We coordinate around business hours and handle the pickup without disrupting customers or staff.

Protecting your home during pinball machine pickup
Home Protection

What We Protect While We Work

Moving a 280-pound cabinet through a finished home is risky if you don't know what you're doing. Here is how we protect your property every time.

  • Floors Protective runners on hardwood, carpet, and tile from the machine's location to the front door.
  • Walls and Door Frames Corner protectors on tight turns. Blanket wraps on the cabinet prevent scuffs on the way through.
  • Stairs Stair-climber dolly prevents the dragging and bouncing that damages stair treads and risers.
  • The Backglass We remove and wrap the backglass separately before moving the cabinet. Glass breaks are avoidable with the right process.
  • The Playfield Playfield glass gets removed and padded. Playfield itself is immobilized before tipping.
Common Questions

Pickup Service FAQ

The most common questions sellers ask about how the pickup actually works.

Do I need to help move the machine?

No. We handle everything. You can stand back, watch from another room, or not even be home if you don't want to be. Just point us to the machine and get out of the way.

How long does the actual pickup take?

Depends on the location. An easy garage pickup can be in and out quickly. A finished basement with tight turns and long stairs takes longer. We will never rush a move and risk damaging your home or the machine.

Will you disconnect the machine for me?

Yes. If the machine is plugged in, we unplug it. If it has been sitting unpowered for years, we still do a quick check for loose parts or anything that could shift in transit before we move it.

What if my basement has really tight stairs?

We have moved machines out of stairs that seemed impossible at first glance. Tight turns and narrow treads are where the stair-climber dolly earns its keep. Send us a photo of the stairs when you send machine photos and we will confirm we can handle it.

Are there any situations where you couldn't pick up a machine?

Rarely. The only truly impossible pickups we have seen are machines that were built in place or had walls framed around them. For those, we discuss options. For everything else, we find a way. Learn more on our Machine Removal page.

Do you charge a pickup fee?

Not on local pickups. Regional pickups are usually free too. For extended distance, we will quote any pickup fee upfront before you accept the offer. No surprise charges at your door.

What if my machine is in a commercial location?

We handle commercial pickups regularly. Arcades, bars, restaurants, offices. We coordinate around business hours so we are not in the way of your customers or staff.

Do you pick up on weekends?

Yes. Weekends are actually our busiest pickup days since most sellers work during the week. Saturday and Sunday are both available. Call us to lock in a time.
