Exhibitions

Trade Shows

Business Shows

Conferences

Brand Activations

Why Hire a Prize Crane for an Exhibition?

At a busy exhibition, hundreds of businesses may be competing for the same visitors.

Your stand needs a reason for attendees to stop.

A prize crane provides an immediately recognisable attraction.

Visitors can see:

The Machine

The Prizes

Someone Playing

People Watching

The Grabber Moving

The interaction can naturally draw attention to the stand.


Turn Exhibition Giveaways Into an Experience

Many exhibitors spend significant amounts on promotional merchandise.

But how is it distributed?

Often it is simply placed on a counter.

Visitors take an item and continue walking.

A prize crane changes the process:

VISITOR SEES THE MACHINE

APPROACHES YOUR STAND

TAKES PART

ATTEMPTS TO WIN

INTERACTS WITH YOUR TEAM

REMEMBERS THE EXPERIENCE

The promotional item becomes part of a wider interaction.


Exhibition Prize Crane Grabber Hire

Our Prize Crane Grabber Hire can be incorporated into suitable exhibition stands.

Potential prize concepts include appropriately sized:

Branded Merchandise

Promotional Products

Soft Toys

Product Samples

Packaged Gifts

Company Merchandise

Campaign Giveaways

Event Prizes

The exact contents need to be suitable for the machine.

If you plan to supply your own merchandise, discuss the dimensions and weight before the event.


Prize Crane for Branded Merchandise

Have you already ordered branded merchandise for your exhibition?

Instead of putting everything on a table, suitable items could potentially be incorporated into the crane.

This turns the merchandise into something visitors actively try to obtain.

Potential items could include:

Branded Soft Toys

Small Promotional Products

Company Merchandise

Campaign Gifts

Packaged Items

The machine becomes the delivery mechanism for the giveaway experience.


Prize Crane for Exhibition Lead Generation

A prize crane can also potentially form part of a wider lead-generation journey.

For example:

STEP 1

Visitor approaches the stand.

STEP 2

Visitor registers to participate.

STEP 3

Visitor plays the prize crane.

STEP 4

Visitor receives their outcome.

STEP 5

Your team continues the conversation.

This creates a natural interaction before the sales discussion begins.

Where personal information is collected, exhibitors should ensure their processes comply with applicable privacy, consent and marketing requirements.


Prize Crane for Exhibition Stand Engagement

The objective doesn’t have to be simply giving something away.

The attraction itself can help create activity around the stand.

Someone playing the crane may attract spectators.

Spectators become potential participants.

Participants become people your team can speak with.

This creates a cycle:

PLAYER → SPECTATORS → NEW PLAYERS → ENGAGEMENT

For suitable exhibitions, that can help make the stand feel more active.


Play to Win Exhibition Campaign

One of the simplest concepts is:

PLAY TO WIN

Visitors receive an opportunity to operate the crane.

Keep the instructions clear and visible.

Potential signage could include:

GRAB A PRIZE

TRY YOUR LUCK

CAN YOU WIN?

PLAY TO WIN

TAKE THE CHALLENGE

WIN WITH [YOUR BRAND]

Visitors should be able to understand the concept immediately.


Prize Crane for Trade Shows

Prize cranes can also work particularly well at trade shows.

B2B events often contain hundreds of stands with similar displays.

An interactive attraction can provide a different way to begin the conversation.

Instead of:

“Can I tell you about our business?”

your team can begin with:

“Would you like to try the prize crane?”

The commercial conversation can follow afterwards.


Prize Crane for Brand Activations

Prize cranes are particularly suitable for experiential marketing campaigns.

The activation can be structured around:

PLAY → ENGAGE → WIN

Potential campaign concepts include:

Mystery Prize

Customer Challenge

Influencer Challenge

Launch Giveaway

Brand Merchandise Grab

Promotional Giveaway

VIP Prize

Limited Edition Merchandise

Depending on the equipment and project, branding requirements can also be discussed.


Branded Prize Crane for Exhibitions

For suitable campaigns, the prize crane can potentially be incorporated into the wider visual identity of your exhibition stand.

When enquiring, provide information about:

Brand Colours

Campaign Artwork

Logo

Stand Design

Activation Concept

Promotional Merchandise

Event Dates

Venue

This helps us understand the complete project rather than treating the crane as a standalone attraction.


Prize Crane for Product Launches

Launching a new product at an exhibition?

The prize crane can form part of the launch experience.

Suitable items could potentially include:

Launch Merchandise

Promotional Gifts

Product Samples

Campaign Items

Special Prizes

depending on suitability for the machine.

The crane can operate throughout the exhibition while the wider product launch takes place around it.


Prize Crane for Product Sampling

For suitable products and campaigns, interactive prize mechanics can potentially support product sampling.

Instead of simply distributing a sample:

PLAY → WIN → DISCOVER THE PRODUCT

The game introduces an additional interaction before the visitor receives the item.

This can be particularly relevant to consumer exhibitions and experiential marketing campaigns.


Prize Crane for Marketing Exhibitions

Marketing and advertising exhibitions are highly competitive environments.

Every exhibitor is trying to demonstrate creativity.

A prize crane can become part of the creative execution of the stand rather than simply being entertainment.

Combine it with:

Strong Stand Design

Clear Campaign Messaging

Branded Merchandise

Interactive Games

Visitor Competitions

Social Content

to create a broader experience.


Prize Crane for Technology Exhibitions

Technology companies can combine prize cranes with arcade entertainment to create an interactive gaming stand.

For example:

PRIZE

Prize Crane.

REACTION

Batak.

RACING

Mario Kart.

RETRO

PAC-MAN.

SPORTS

Basketball.

This creates several different visitor interactions within the same stand.


Prize Crane for Automotive Exhibitions

Automotive brands can use a prize crane alongside racing machines.

Combine the crane with Overtake DX Twin Arcade Hire.

Visitors can:

RACE

Take part in the driving challenge.

PLAY

Try the prize crane.

This creates two distinct attractions around the automotive campaign.


Prize Crane for Recruitment Exhibitions

Recruitment stands can also use prize cranes as an informal conversation starter.

This can work for:

Graduate Recruitment

Careers Fairs

University Events

Apprenticeship Shows

Employer Branding Campaigns

Recruitment Exhibitions

A potential candidate may initially approach to participate before speaking with the recruitment team.


Prize Crane for Consumer Exhibitions

Consumer exhibitions are particularly suited to interactive giveaways.

Visitors are already there to discover brands and products.

A prize crane can potentially support:

Brand Awareness

Product Launches

Sampling

Promotional Merchandise

Customer Engagement

Experiential Marketing

The prize crane becomes part of the overall brand experience.


Prize Crane for Conferences

Conferences with exhibition or networking areas can also use prize cranes.

Position the machine where attendees can interact during:

Registration

Coffee Breaks

Lunch

Networking

Evening Receptions

This gives delegates something different to do between formal sessions.


Prize Crane for Multi-Day Exhibitions

If your exhibition runs for several days, plan the prize stock accordingly.

You could maintain the same campaign throughout the show.

Alternatively, create:

DAY ONE

Standard prizes.

DAY TWO

New prize selection.

DAY THREE

Final-day campaign.

Another option is to include a limited number of special prizes across the entire exhibition.

The organiser should determine the appropriate promotional mechanics.


Prize Crane for Small Exhibition Stands

A prize crane can potentially work as the main attraction on a smaller stand, subject to machine dimensions and access.

Don’t overcrowd the space.

One strong interactive feature with clear messaging can be more effective than trying to fit multiple large games into a limited area.

Before booking, confirm:

Stand Dimensions

Available Floor Space

Access

Power

Visitor Flow


Prize Crane for Large Exhibition Stands

Larger stands can create several interactive zones.

PRIZE ZONE

Prize Crane + Gashapon.

REACTION ZONE

Batak + Catch It.

RACING ZONE

Mario Kart + Overtake.

SPORTS ZONE

Basketball.

RETRO ZONE

PAC-MAN + Street Fighter.

This allows multiple visitors to participate simultaneously.


Combine Prize Crane and Gashapon

Create a complete prize area by combining the crane with Gashapon Dispenser Hire.

The two experiences are different:

PRIZE CRANE

Visitors control the grabber.

GASHAPON

Visitors receive a mystery capsule.

This combination can work particularly well for brand activations and promotional exhibitions.


Combine Prize Crane and Reaction Games

Add Batak Lite Game Hire.

Now your stand contains:

A Reaction Challenge

and:

A Prize Experience

For larger stands, add Catch It Reaction Ring Game Hire for another competitive attraction.


Combine Prize Crane and Basketball

Add Basketball Arcade Game Hire.

Create:

SCORE → PLAY → WIN

Visitors can attempt the basketball challenge before moving to the prize area.

The organiser can determine whether the two experiences are connected or operate independently.


Combine Prize Crane and Racing Games

For larger exhibition stands, add:

Mario Kart DX Twin Arcade Hire

or:

Overtake DX Twin Arcade Hire.

Racing creates visible head-to-head competition while the crane provides the promotional giveaway experience.


Combine Prize Crane and Giant Arcade Games

Want even greater visual impact?

Add:

World’s Largest PAC-MAN Hire

or:

World’s Largest Space Invaders Hire.

This can create a large-scale arcade and prize experience on suitable exhibition stands.


Create a Complete Exhibition Arcade

For major stands, build the whole visitor experience around gaming.

ARRIVAL

Reaction challenge.

COMPETITION

Basketball.

RACING

Mario Kart.

RETRO

PAC-MAN.

PRIZE

Prize Crane.

MYSTERY GIVEAWAY

Gashapon.

Visitors can interact with one attraction or explore the complete stand.

We used Boutique Party Hire for my daughter’s 1st Birthday Party. We hired a bouncy castle and soft play. Right from the point of inquiry to the point of delivery & collection the process was easy and professional. They are also reasonably priced. The bouncy castle and soft play looked lovely and was exactly what we wanted! The kids also loved it! We will definitely be using this company again and recommending them to friends and family.
Charlotte was very responsive and accomodative of my very late request and change that had to be made. Will recommend and use again.
