Can a kiddie skeeball game be transported on its back or side?
« on: October 24, 2009, 12:12:48 pm »
Just wondering if a kiddie skeeball game can be layed on its back or side without causing any issues?  Specifically the B.C. Toss skeeball game.  Here are some pictures of it http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250516268131

Too tall for trailer, doesn't look like the scoreboard separates from the back, so just wanted to check if these are okay to lay on their back or side for transporting.

Thanks!

The only issues I can possibly think of would be structural, eg if the back is completely open (like so many of them are) the weight could cause it to collapse on itself.  If there are internal braces I wouldn't worry about it.

IIRC this unit does not separate like a traditional Skee-Ball machine, but it's been a while since I worked on one.

When you say trailer, are you talking about an enclosed unit?
