New member and would appreciate any insight. thanks agent227 Title: Re: moving my coke machine Post by: collecture on March 31, 2009, 12:25:29 pm You can lay it down in the back of your truck/SUV, but just don't plug it back in until it has sat upright for 24 hours allowing the compressor oil to settle. If using a moving van, you can leave it upright and blanket wrap it using the tie-down rails. Careful not to cinch it down too tight over the coin door (if you have an older round top model with a protruding coin door). I usually have one rope around the bottom half and another up high.

I move a lot of machines and this way works great, you can stand up or lay down this way, jeff wolf

These machines tip over very easily. I found out the hard way once. I had several machines on a trailer and had a Cav55 fall onto a freshly painted V56.
