Automatic Products AP 113 Snack Vending Machine (5-Wide, Refurbished)
The AP 113 snack vending machine is one of the most trusted 5-wide snack vendors in the industry, and this refurbished unit brings that proven Automatic Products reliability to your route at a working-operator price. Built around a heavy-gauge steel cabinet, metal shelves, and durable single spirals, the AP 113 (also known as the Snackshop 113) vends chips, candy, pastries, crackers, and healthy snacks all day with minimal maintenance. It is the machine operators reach for when they need dependable uptime in a busy indoor location.
With capacity for up to 40 selections across 6 adjustable shelves — roughly 400 packaged items when fully loaded — the AP 113 covers a wide planogram without forcing constant restock trips. The 5-wide layout gives you the flexibility to mix snack, candy, and pastry facings, and multi-price capability lets you set an individual price on every coil. For a medium-to-large indoor site, this refurbished snack vendor is a workhorse that earns its footprint.

About Automatic Products
Automatic Products International (AP), based in St. Paul, Minnesota, spent decades as one of America’s leading vending equipment manufacturers, and the Snackshop line — including the 112, 113, and LCM series — became a route-operator standard for its simple, serviceable mechanics. The brand later merged into the Crane Merchandising Systems family, but the installed base of AP snack machines remains enormous, which means parts, spirals, and boards stay widely available. You can review the original factory operation on the Automatic Products Snackshop 113 instruction manual.
Where the AP 113 Earns
The AP 113’s 40-selection capacity and glass-front merchandising make it a strong fit for locations with steady daily foot traffic: corporate offices and break rooms, schools and colleges, manufacturing floors, hospitals, apartment clubhouses, and gyms. Because it holds roughly 400 items, a single machine can typically go longer between service visits than a smaller 4-wide unit, which lowers your route labor per location. As a rule, indoor sites with 40 or more regular users tend to support a full-size snack machine like this comfortably — pair it with a drink machine for a complete break-room setup. This is an indoor machine and should not be placed in unconditioned outdoor spaces.
