Claw machine hire for events

The classic plush crane game, with your brand and your prizes

Claw machine hire is the most fun way to hand out gifts at an event: guests steer the claw, grab a plush toy or a prize ball and walk away with something branded. We have more than 20 claw machines ready for trade shows, weddings, shops and corporate events in Barcelona, Madrid and across Spain.

What claw machine hire includes

Hiring a claw machine from us is simple. We deliver it to your event, set it up, check it works and show your team how to restock the prizes. It takes a few minutes. When the event is over, we come back and collect it.

  • Delivery, set-up and collection by our technician.
  • Free play: each go starts with a button, no coins needed. If you prefer, we fit a coin mechanism for metal tokens.
  • Easiest difficulty setting, so your guests win.
  • Phone or video call support throughout the event.
  • Optional branding with PVC panels or a full wrap.

Staff are not included. The machine runs on its own and anyone on your team can look after it. If you would like someone to host the game, we can add a promo host by the hour.

A claw machine set up so people win

Nobody wants guests leaving empty-handed. That is why our machines leave the warehouse on the easiest difficulty setting, so your merchandise ends up with your guests rather than stuck inside the cabinet.

It is still a game of skill, and that is the fun of it: you have to line up the claw and pick your moment. Our machines are not rigged. People who take their time usually win something, and everyone else stays for another go.

Would you rather make it a bit harder, for example for a draw with expensive prizes? Just ask and we will raise the difficulty before the event.

Prizes: plush toys, 9 cm balls or your own gifts

You can fill the machine with two kinds of prize:

  • Plush toys of 10 to 15 cm, weighing no more than 150 g. We recommend at least 120 so the cabinet looks full.
  • Clear or coloured 9 cm balls, up to 150 per machine, in five colours: green, yellow, blue, red and clear. Inside goes whatever you choose: a keyring, earbuds, a voucher or a product sample.

If your prize will not fit in a ball, send us a sample. We test whether the claw can pick it up and send you a video. Items the claw cannot grip get a small ring attached, and for big prizes such as a T-shirt we use a prize ticket.

No gifts yet? We can supply teddy bears with your logo on their T-shirt (from 100 units) and balls with your logo sticker. For more inspiration, read our prize and merchandise ideas for claw machines.

A branded claw machine in your colours

A claw machine dressed in your brand can be seen from across the hall and shows up in every photo. There are two levels of branding:

  • PVC panels in three areas: lower sides, upper sides and upper front. The quick option to get your logo in view.
  • Full wrap: the whole machine in your colours and design, including the rear mirror.

We also have white claw machines, which many brands prefer because they sit well with their identity without a full wrap. We need your artwork two weeks before the event. Step by step on our branded claw machine page.

Technical requirements: space, power and access

The machine is 64.5 cm wide, 188 cm high and 70 cm deep, and weighs 130 kg. That sounds like a lot, but it is on wheels and moves easily around the venue.

  • Power: one standard socket nearby. It draws 75 W, about the same as a large light bulb.
  • Access: it fits any lift or goods lift at least 2 m high and 150 cm deep.
  • Outdoors: it can go outside at the client’s responsibility. Sun is fine, but if it rains it must be covered and the electrics protected.

From one to twelve machines at the same event

We have more than 20 claw machines, so large orders are not a problem. Two to twelve machines at once is common: a row of machines on a trade show stand, one per floor in a shopping centre, or several spread across a chain’s stores during a campaign.

We hire by the day, week or month. For multi-day trade shows or in-store activations that run for weeks, we quote for the whole period. See what affects the cost on how much it costs to hire a claw machine.

Barcelona, Madrid and the rest of Spain

We are based in Barcelona, so we reach Fira de Barcelona, CCIB and anywhere in Catalonia quickly. We are in Madrid almost every week, mainly at IFEMA and at hotels and event venues. And we travel to any city in Spain.

Frequently asked questions

Do players need to pay or use coins?

No. The claw machine is free to play: press a button and the game starts. If you want to control how many goes each person gets, we can fit a coin mechanism for metal tokens, which can also carry your logo.

Is it easy to win?

Yes. We deliver it on the easiest setting so your guests take the merchandise home. It is still a game of skill and the machine is not rigged. If you would prefer it harder, we adjust it before the event.

How many prizes fit inside?

Up to 150 balls of 9 cm. With 10-15 cm plush toys we recommend at least 120. You can restock during the event.

Can we use our own gifts?

Yes. Plush toys must weigh no more than 150 g. Anything else can go inside a 9 cm ball. If in doubt, send us a sample and we will send you a video of the test.

Does the hire include someone to run the machine?

Staff are not included. Our technician sets it up, leaves it running and shows you how to restock. During the event we support you by phone or video call. A promo host can be booked separately by the hour.

Will it fit in a lift?

Yes, if the lift or goods lift is at least 2 m high and 150 cm deep. The machine is on wheels so it can be moved around the venue.

Can we buy the machine?

No, we only hire. If you are weighing it up, read our article on whether to buy or hire a claw machine.

How far in advance should we book?

The sooner the better. For branding we need your artwork two weeks before the event. Teddy bears with your logo take three weeks to a month.
