How much does a vending machine weigh?

Empty, most run 500 to 900 pounds depending on type. Refrigerated drink machines are on the heavy end. Always empty it first.

Can two people move a vending machine?

Two strong people with a rated appliance dolly and a ramp can move one on flat ground. Stairs call for a stair-climber or professionals.

Can I lay a vending machine on its back?

Avoid it, especially for refrigerated units. Keep it upright to protect the compressor, and let it stand before plugging it in.

How to Move a Vending Machine

Last updated 2026-07-17 · MovePlan Editorial Team

A vending machine is one of the heaviest things most people ever move, often 500 to 900 pounds. Empty it, keep it upright, and respect the weight, because this is a dolly-and-team job, not a hero lift.

Difficulty: Hard
Time: 1 to 2 hours
Typical cost: DIY free, or $75 to $200 with movers
Supplies: heavy-duty appliance dolly, ratchet straps, moving blankets, loading ramp, work gloves

Pro tip: Deflate the drama by moving it fully empty; the difference between a loaded and empty machine can be 200+ pounds.

Watch out: A loaded vending machine can weigh 800+ pounds; never try to lift or walk one without a rated dolly and a team, or you will be crushed.
