AMS 39 Snack Vending Machine – 5-Wide Glass-Front Merchandiser
The AMS 39 snack vending machine is a full-size, five-wide glass-front merchandiser named for its 39-inch cabinet width. Built by Automated Merchandising Systems, it packs chips, candy bars, pastries, crackers, gum, mints, and other packaged snacks behind a wide viewing window, giving one machine enough variety to serve a busy office, break room, or waiting area all day. The glass front lets customers see exactly what they are buying, which drives impulse sales that a solid-door machine cannot.
Where this model earns its keep is capacity and flexibility. The AMS 39 carries up to 40 selections and holds up to roughly 654 packaged items, with adjustable helix (coil) spacing so an operator can dial trays in for slim candy bars or fat bags of chips on the same machine. Combined with the Sensit guaranteed-delivery system and an MDB payment stack that accepts coins, bills, and an optional cashless card reader, it is a machine designed to keep collecting revenue with minimal service calls.

Where This Machine Earns
The AMS 39 is a large-format snack machine, so it belongs where foot traffic and dwell time are high: corporate offices and break rooms, manufacturing and warehouse floors, hospitals and clinics, schools and campuses, gyms, hotels, apartment community rooms, and busy waiting areas. Its 40-selection layout lets you cover several price points and snack categories from a single footprint, which typically means fewer restock trips per dollar of sales than a small machine.
As a rule of thumb, the more distinct products you can offer at a location, the higher the average daily vend – and a full-size five-wide is built for exactly that. Browse more options in our Snack Vending Machines category to compare footprints.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many selections does the AMS 39 have?
The AMS 39 offers up to 40 selections across its snack, chip, and candy trays, and the helix spacing is adjustable so you can tune the mix to your location.
Does it take credit cards, and can a Nayax reader be added?
Yes. The AMS 39 ships with an MDB payment stack (coin mechanism and bill validator) and is cashless-ready, so a Nayax or other MDB card reader can be added to accept tap, chip, and mobile-wallet payments.
What power does it need?
It runs on a standard 110V / 60Hz grounded outlet – no special electrical work required for most indoor locations.
Will it fit through a standard doorway?
At 39 inches wide it needs a 36-inch (or wider) doorway; measure your entry path first, since a standard 36-inch door frame is tight and a 42-inch opening is comfortable. It stands 72 inches tall and 35 inches deep.
Is this machine new or refurbished?
This AMS 39 is sold new and carries our 2-year limited parts-and-service warranty.
How is the machine delivered?
It ships by curbside freight with free delivery across the continental US, typically arriving within 3-7 business days after your order is prepared. Installation packages are available if you’d like it placed and started for you.
What is the Sensit system?
Sensit is AMS’s guaranteed-delivery technology: an optical sensor confirms the product dropped, and if it does not, the customer can pick again or receive an automatic refund – reducing complaints and lost sales.
