Why prize machines work at events
Rooms full of claw machines have become an international craze: venues dedicated entirely to them have opened in several countries, and videos of people trying to grab a prize are shared endlessly online. The LED ball crane for events brings that same thrill to your celebration: a bright, eye-catching machine that is easy to understand and where every guest wants to try their luck.
It is ideal for companies, brands and organisers who want to draw people to their stand or party without hassle. At United Events we rent the LED ball crane with setup, staff and coordinated prizes, so you only need to welcome your guests.
The secret: last-second tension
Moving the crane, dropping the claw and waiting is a simple game, but it creates suspense, laughter and conversation. That is why people gather around the machine and the queue becomes part of the show.
Its LED lighting makes it visible from afar, works as a visual hook to attract visitors and suits a trade fair, a company party or an opening equally well.
What the LED ball crane rental includes
Our service is turnkey: we handle the whole process so the machine works from the first minute of the event.
Equipment
The crane machine with LED lighting, ready to plug in, plus the prizes or balls needed for your guest count and event length.
Staff
A member of our team runs the machine, hands out prizes, manages turns and keeps the game moving. This attraction needs staff, so we include them.
Setup and teardown
We transport, install, test and collect it afterwards. We only need a power socket and a covered indoor space; your team does not have to do anything.
Prior coordination
Before the event we review the venue, access and schedule with you. The sooner you share the details, the better we tailor the proposal.
The LED ball crane in action
How much does an LED ball crane rental cost?
There is no single rate, because the price of renting an LED ball crane depends on each event. These are the main factors:
- Duration: the service hours with the machine running and staff present.
- Prizes: the quantity and type of prizes or balls you want to give out.
- Location: the venue, transport and access to the space.
- Setup: delivery time, floor and installation conditions.
- Bundling: if you book it with other attractions, the whole package can be adjusted.
With this information we prepare a fixed proposal, with no surprises. Tell us the date, place and number of guests and we will reply with a tailored offer: request a quote.
Which events it suits best
The LED ball crane for trade fairs and corporate events is very versatile, but works especially well in these cases:
Trade fairs and congresses
It draws visitors to the stand and creates a natural excuse to start a sales conversation. Each prize can carry a message, a code or a branded gift.
Company parties and Christmas
It breaks the ice between colleagues from different departments and adds an informal playful touch between dinner and music.
Openings and promotional activations
A lit-up machine at the entrance sparks curiosity, increases dwell time and gives attendees content to share online.
Family events and private parties
Children and adults play alike, which is rare for an attraction. It always works in indoor spaces with access to power.
Ideas to personalise the experience
The best part is that the machine adapts to your brand image. Here are some ideas that work very well:
Prizes with a message
The balls can hide discounts, gifts or draws, so each attempt gives a reason to play again.
Event theme
We can pair the crane with a retro, arcade or Christmas setting so it becomes part of the decor, not just the game.
Games corner
Next to other attractions such as foosball tables or arcade machines, it creates a complete games zone where guests circulate and mingle.
Team challenges
In a team building event, each group can compete to win the most prizes in a limited time.
