Crane 471 Combo Vending Machine – 30 Selections, Glass Front, Refurbished

Refurbished Crane 471 Combo Vending Machine — Drinks & Snacks in One Cabinet

The Crane 471 combo vending machine is a glass-front Merchant Media 4-wide unit that merchandises cold beverages and packaged snacks from a single cabinet, so one machine can serve a complete break-room menu where a separate soda and snack pair would not fit. This unit has been fully gone through and tested to work 100%, arriving with a brand-new lock and two keys.

With 30 total selections split across five shelves — two beverage shelves, two snack and pastry shelves, and one candy shelf — the 471 balances 14 drink selections for cans and bottles against 16 snack and candy positions. That mix suits locations that want variety without committing the floor space and power of two full-size machines. Zoned temperature control keeps the beverage section cold while the snack section stays ambient, and a refrigeration zone barrier separates the two so chilled drinks and dry snacks share one box without compromise.

Key Features

• SureVend delivery guarantee — an optical sensor confirms the product actually dropped into the bin; if it does not, the customer is refunded or can pick another selection, which cuts service calls and lost sales.
• Zoned refrigeration — temperature control by zone or full cabinet lets you run cold drinks, dairy, snacks, or fresh food, with a refrigeration zone barrier keeping the sections independent.
• NAMA Health & Safety Control — the food-safety cutout required for cold-food merchandising, so the 471 can legally hold perishable items when configured for them.
• Customizable graphics — the glass front and header accept custom artwork and healthy-vending layouts to attract customers and lift same-store sales.
• 3.5″ screen and touchpad interface with on-screen messaging for clear selection and pricing.
• MDB/DEX compatible — open industry ports for cashless upgrades and remote data pulls.

About Crane Merchandising Systems

The Merchant Media platform is built by Crane Merchandising Systems, the vending division of Crane Co., a long-established American manufacturer whose self-service equipment is sold worldwide under the Crane and National Vendors names. Crane is known for durable, service-friendly hardware and for pioneering reliability features like SureVend guaranteed delivery, and its Merchant cabinets are engineered to run for years with simple field maintenance and widely available parts. That serviceability is a large part of why refurbished Crane machines remain a strong value on the secondary market. You can review the manufacturer’s Merchant Combo line on the Crane Payment Innovations site.

Where This Machine Earns

A combo like the 471 typically works best in mid-traffic single-point locations — small to mid-size offices, break rooms, auto shops, gyms, fitness studios, apartment amenity rooms, and clinics — where operators want both a drink and a snack option but a single machine has to cover it. Because it draws from a standard 115V outlet and fits a 33″-wide footprint, siting is straightforward. Restock frequency and revenue depend on foot traffic and your product mix; higher-turn locations may justify a dedicated drink or snack machine alongside it.
