How to Move An Arcade Game

For those of you who have a game room in your home, we bet this is your cozy nook - the pool table, soft couch, sturdy table, and arcade games. Definitely a favorite among your kids (and for the kid at heart!). While it can be a hassle to move all of these things, it is possible to have the same entertainment in your new destination.

Are you an avid gamer? If you have a pinball machine and other arcade games, you will move it the same way as your pool table but in a simpler way.

  • First, measure the arcade in your game room so you will know if it fits the door. Usually, arcade games will fit through a standard doorway but for bigger items, it may require removing hinges. 
  • Unplug and clean the machine first before moving it.
  • Place it in an open area outside so it will be ready once the moving crew arrives.
  • Protect the machine with moving blankets and paper padding. Tape it tightly over the blanket, not on the arcade game. 
  • Once you've loaded the machine into the truck, secure it with roap or straps. 
  • Be sure to keep the arcade game in an upright position, otherwise it will be at risk for breakage and damages during transport.
