Collection: DIY Claw Crane Machine Kit

Hiclawcrane's DIY claw crane machine kits give arcade operators, hobbyists, and small business owners everything they need to build your own claw machine from scratch — at factory-direct wholesale pricing, with no middleman markup. Whether you're looking for a claw machine gantry kit, a complete DIY crane machine package, or want to build your own claw machine kit, we have the right solution.

Each kit includes all essential mechanical and electronic components, pre-tested and ready to assemble:

• Gantry system — precision-engineered X/Y axis movement rails (25.7cm, 53cm & 71cm options)
• Main control board — programmable claw strength and timing settings
• Coin acceptor — compatible with standard coin sizes for commercial use
• Power supply unit — stable output for reliable operation
• Claw mechanism — adjustable grip strength for prize cost control
• Wiring harness and hardware — all fasteners and connectors included

Note for home users: Our kits are built to commercial standards, which means the package may include additional wiring or components beyond what a home setup requires. This is completely normal — simply set any unused parts aside. They will not affect assembly or performance.

Our claw machine construction kits are designed for both first-time builders and experienced arcade operators looking to expand their fleet at lower cost. Detailed assembly instructions and wiring diagrams are included with every order, and our after-sales support team is available for technical assistance.

Whether you're sourcing a single diy claw machine unit to test or placing a wholesale order for multiple locations, Hiclawcrane offers flexible MOQ, volume pricing, and international shipping with full export documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a DIY claw machine kit?

Each kit includes the gantry system, main control board, coin acceptor, power supply, claw mechanism, joystick, push buttons, wiring harness, and all necessary hardware. Assembly instructions and wiring diagrams are also included.

Can I build a claw machine myself with no experience?

Yes. Our kits are designed for both first-time builders and experienced operators. Step-by-step assembly instructions are included, and our technical support team is available to assist if needed.

Which size should I choose — 25.7cm, 53cm, or 71cm?

The 25.7cm mini kit is ideal for home use or compact spaces. The 53cm kit suits home arcade rooms and small venues. The 71cm kit is recommended for commercial arcade operations and distributors who need a full-size machine.

Can I use the kit for commercial purposes?

Yes. All kits are built to commercial standards and are suitable for coin-operated commercial use in arcades, entertainment venues, and vending locations.

Does the kit support both 110V and 220V?

Yes. The power supply included in each kit supports 100–240V input, making it compatible with electrical standards in the US, Europe, and most other regions.

Do you offer wholesale or OEM pricing?

Yes. Hiclawcrane offers wholesale pricing for bulk orders and OEM/ODM customization for distributors and operators. Contact us for a wholesale quote.

What size prizes can the claw handle?

Claw size should be matched to your prize size for best results. As a general guide: a small claw (4–8 cm opening) works well for prizes up to 10 cm; a standard mid claw (10–18 cm, equivalent to an 8-inch claw) is the most common choice for typical plush toys; and a large claw (18–30 cm opening) is suited for oversized prizes up to 30 cm. If you're unsure which claw fits your prize type, contact us and we'll recommend the right option.

What is the warranty on the claw and gantry?

The overhead crane (gantry) and claw are covered by a 2-year free warranty. If any part fails under normal use within this period, we will replace it at no charge. The warranty does not cover damage caused by improper installation, unauthorized modification, or physical misuse.

What payment systems are compatible with the kit?

Each kit includes a standard coin acceptor that accepts coins or tokens — the most common setup for commercial arcade locations. For operators who need cashless or multi-payment options, bill acceptors (banknote validators) and credit card readers are available as optional add-ons and can be integrated with the kit's main control board. Contact us to discuss the right payment configuration for your venue.
