Im new to tower vending (3 months) but Pringles is a love/hate relationship .
They sell too quickly and the towers are too small!!
I've a few sites were they sell out in two weeks but my round is such it's hard to service them when the sweets is monthly.
I've sited two machines in sites when possible.
So is it possible to extend the towers to 9 segments high thus holding 63 pots.
Would it be stable enough on a wide base or on the bar?
Anyone done it?
How easy is it on both clenport and tubz vending machines?
Thanks

Re: Pringles Advice
2 solutions
1) put a second machine in
2) If they are trustworthy enough customers then leave them a lid key with extra pringles so they can top up whenever needed. I have a few customers like this and its nice to pick up over £100 every 4-6 weeks. Saves time and hassle but I am with you on pringles, I hate them especially when not on offer and the profit margin is awful.

Re: Pringles Advice
You can extend the towers to seven high, Hurleys will sell you the rods and rings or you can go to Clenport.
Clenport also sell a tower that holds 70. http://www.clenport.com/en/vending-machine-pringles-m70.html
Nice problem to have.

Re: Pringles Advice
I've sucessfully increased the height of my Pringles machines to eight rings, thats a 54 capacity. I use Clenport plastic bases, cut them down so the unit is still the same overall height. The rods I get from old decomssioned machines I've collected over the years.
