Automatic Products LCM4 Combo Snack & Soda Vending Machine – 30 Selection, Refurbished

Automatic Products LCM4 Combo Cold Drink — LCM4 combo cold drink

The Automatic Products LCM4 combo cold drink combines a full snack merchandiser and a refrigerated can-drink center in one cabinet, so a single machine covers both cravings in locations that can’t justify two full-size units. Behind its glass front you get 20 snack and candy selections served from three shelf types plus 10 columns of 12 oz canned drinks—thirty distinct picks in a footprint just 38 inches wide.

Built for smaller break rooms, waiting areas, and lower-traffic accounts, the refurbished Automatic Products LCM4 combo cold drink holds roughly 260 snack items and 180 twelve-ounce cans when fully stocked. Its refrigeration deck holds product as low as 37°F with health-safety controls, and the multi-price main board supports pricing from $0.05 up to $99.95 per selection. This unit ships refurbished—fully tested and cleaned—ready to place and vend.

Automatic Products LCM4 Specifications

Key Features

• True combo layout: snack shelves over a refrigerated can bank—no need to run separate snack and drink machines in tight spaces.
• Multi-price main board: set each column independently from $0.05 to $99.95, so premium snacks and value picks live side by side.
• MDB & card-ready: the industry-standard MDB board accepts the included bill acceptor and coin changer and takes a cashless/credit-card reader whenever you want to add tap-and-pay.
• Glass merchandising front: customers see exactly what they’re buying, which lifts impulse sales versus closed-door machines.
• Refrigerated can center: holds 12 oz cans cold at roughly 37°F with health-safety controls for perishable-drink locations.

About Automatic Products

Automatic Products International (AP) was a long-established American vending manufacturer whose snack, combo, and hot-beverage machines—including the LCM combo series—became fixtures in offices and institutions across the country. The AP brand and its designs are now part of Crane Merchandising Systems, one of the largest vending equipment makers in the industry, so parts and service knowledge for these machines remain widely available.

The LCM (Low-Cost Merchandiser) combo line was engineered specifically to bring both snacks and cold drinks into locations that couldn’t justify two standalone machines, and its rotating turret drink columns and adjustable snack shelving made it one of the most placed compact combos of its era. That long production history is why replacement boards, motors, and vend mechanisms are still readily sourced today.

Where This Machine Earns

The LCM4’s compact 38-inch width and dual snack-plus-drink capability make it a natural fit for smaller offices, medical and dental waiting rooms, auto shops, small manufacturing floors, gyms, apartment clubhouses, and break rooms where foot traffic is steady but not high enough for two full-size machines. Because one cabinet covers both snacks and cold drinks, you cut a stop from your service route while still offering variety. Operators typically place combo units where a single location wants both categories but floor space or volume won’t support separate snack and drink machines.

Because you’re servicing one cabinet instead of two, restock and cash-collection time per stop drops, which matters most on routes where drive time between accounts outweighs the minutes spent filling each machine. The refrigerated can bank also lets you carry higher-margin cold beverages at spots that would otherwise be snack-only.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many selections does the Automatic Products LCM4 combo cold drink have?
Thirty in total—20 snack and candy selections plus 10 columns of 12 oz canned drinks, so one machine serves both categories.

Can I add a credit-card reader?
Yes. The LCM4 uses an MDB main board that is credit-card capable, so a cashless/card reader (such as a Nayax unit) can be added to accept tap and chip payments alongside the included bill acceptor and coin changer.

What power does it need?
A standard 110V, 60Hz wall outlet—it draws roughly 12 amps, so a dedicated grounded circuit is recommended.

Will it fit through a standard doorway?
At 38 inches wide it is narrower than most single-leaf commercial doors (36″) may allow with the door removed; measure your entry path first, as the cabinet is about 72″ tall and 35″ deep and weighs roughly 795 lbs.

How much does it hold?
Fully stocked it carries about 260 snack items across its 20 snack selections plus roughly 180 twelve-ounce cans across the 10 refrigerated drink columns.

Is this machine new or refurbished?
Refurbished—tested, cleaned, and ready to place—covered by our 1-year limited parts-and-service warranty for US customers.

How is it delivered?
By curbside freight, free within the continental US from our Minnesota facility, typically arriving 3–7 business days after your order is processed.
