A claw machine, also known as a prize crane or grabber machine, is a classic arcade attraction where participants control a mechanical claw to try and win prizes. The anticipation of lining up the claw and successfully grabbing a prize creates excitement and repeat participation. From children to adults, arcade claw machines appeal to a wide audience and naturally draw attention within busy event spaces.

JM Entertainment offers nationwide claw machine hire throughout England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Our prize crane hire service covers major cities and surrounding towns including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield, Newcastle, Bristol, Nottingham, Leicester, Coventry, Derby, Stoke-on-Trent, Wolverhampton, Plymouth, Southampton, Portsmouth, Brighton, Reading, Milton Keynes, Oxford, Cambridge, Norwich, Ipswich, Chelmsford, Peterborough, Luton, Watford, Slough, Northampton, Hull, York, Bradford, Huddersfield, Wakefield, Doncaster, Barnsley, Rotherham, Preston, Blackpool, Blackburn, Bolton, Warrington, Wigan, Chester, Carlisle, Lancaster, Middlesbrough, Sunderland, Durham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness, Stirling, Perth, Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Wrexham, Bangor, Belfast, and across all towns and regions throughout the United Kingdom.

Claw machine hire is ideal for corporate events and promotional activations. Businesses frequently book arcade claw machines for exhibitions, conferences, networking events, product launches, retail promotions, and staff celebrations. The bright internal lighting and visible prizes act as a natural focal point, encouraging guests to approach and participate.

Branded claw machine hire is available for marketing campaigns and experiential events. JM Entertainment can customise machines with full vinyl wraps, company logos, themed graphics, and promotional messaging. Prizes inside the machine can also be tailored, from branded merchandise and product samples to discount vouchers and promotional giveaways. A branded arcade claw machine becomes both an entertainment attraction and a powerful promotional feature.

Prize crane hire is particularly effective for exhibitions and trade shows nationwide. In busy event halls, the movement of the claw and visible prizes capture attention instantly. Guests often queue to take part, increasing footfall and engagement around your stand or activation space.

Arcade claw machine hire is also extremely popular for private events. Birthday parties, weddings, engagement celebrations, charity fundraisers, university events, seasonal parties, and community festivals all benefit from the nostalgic fun of a prize crane. The machine can be filled with sweets, plush toys, novelty items, or event-specific gifts to match the theme of your occasion.

Every claw machine rental from JM Entertainment includes professional delivery, installation, testing, and collection. Our team coordinates logistics to ensure timely setup anywhere in the UK. The machines require minimal floor space and can be positioned within exhibition stands, venue entrances, reception areas, or event halls with ease.

For high-traffic events, event staff can be provided to assist guests, manage prize refills, and ensure smooth operation throughout the hire period. This is especially useful for corporate campaigns, retail promotions, and large public events.

How to play the Prize Crane and what are the rules?

The Prize Crane, also known as a claw machine, is simple and fun for everyone to play.

The player starts the game and uses the joystick to move the claw above the prize they want. Once they have lined it up, they press the button to drop the claw.

The claw grabs the prize and lifts it toward the prize chute. If the claw successfully holds the item, the prize drops into the collection area and the player wins.

The challenge of positioning the claw perfectly makes the game exciting and keeps players coming back to try again.
