Refurbished Crane National 167 Snack Machine – 5-Wide Glass-Front Vender
The Crane National 167 snack machine is a full-size, 5-wide glass-front snack and candy vender that has earned its reputation as one of the most reliable workhorses in the vending industry. Built by National Vendors (now part of Crane Merchandising Systems), the Model 167 SnackCenter pairs six tilt-forward shelves with a proven spiral delivery system to hold roughly 400 packaged items across up to 40 selections. This unit is professionally refurbished, cleaned, tested, and ready to place, giving first-time operators and route expanders new-machine dependability at a fraction of the cost.
Measuring 72 inches tall by 40 inches wide by 35.5 inches deep and weighing about 670 pounds, the 167 is a substantial indoor machine designed to be a high-traffic snack anchor in break rooms, waiting areas, gyms, and schools. The glass front merchandises product clearly so customers can see exactly what they are buying, while the dual-spiral chip and pastry shelves and forward-tilting trays make restocking fast and reduce misvends.

- Illuminated glass front merchandises product and drives impulse purchases while protecting inventory.
- MDB payment platform accepts a coin changer and dollar bill validator ($1, $5, $10, $20) out of the box and supports DEX audit reporting.

About Crane National Vendors
The Model 167 comes from National Vendors, one of the longest-running names in American vending, now part of Crane Merchandising Systems. Crane’s vending division is known for durable steel cabinets, a widely supported MDB payment platform, and parts availability that stretches back decades, which is a big reason the 167 remains a favorite for refurbishment. Because the platform is so common, service parts, boards, coin mechs, and bill validators are easy to source, keeping long-term ownership costs low.
Where the Crane National 167 Earns Its Keep
With roughly 400 items on tap and 40 selections, the 167 suits medium-to-high-traffic indoor spots: office break rooms, manufacturing floors, schools, gyms, apartment community rooms, and hotel amenity areas. As a rule of thumb, a single 167 can cover a location of several dozen to a few hundred daily foot-traffic without frequent restocking, and its broad selection lets you mix chips, candy, pastries, and healthier options to match what a location actually buys.
Because it is an indoor, non-refrigerated snack machine, it typically pairs well with a drink or combo unit at the same site. For guidance on siting and stocking your first machine, see our Buyers Guide, and browse more inventory in Snack Vending Machines.
