What is Arcade Machine Removal and Why It’s in Demand in San Francisco, CA?

Arcade machine removal refers to the transportation, disassembly (if needed), and haul-away of bulky arcade cabinets like Pac-Man, Galaga, Mortal Kombat, or pinball machines. These units can weigh between 150 and 400 pounds and are typically made of dense wood and metal parts.

Here’s why arcade machine removal is becoming more popular in San Francisco:

  • Game room renovations in tight apartments
  • Office remodels in tech spaces throughout SoMa and the Financial District
  • Buy/sell transactions on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace
  • Small business closures in high-rent commercial zones
  • Estate cleanouts in older neighborhoods like Pacific Heights
  • People making eco-conscious decisions to recycle or donate

A great example: A couple in the Marina District decided to replace their vintage game room with a nursery and needed their heavy pinball machines removed immediately. Muvr showed up within hours, hauled out the machines with zero damage to the walls or floors, and delivered them to a buyer in Daly City—all on the same day.

Because San Francisco is such a dense and logistically challenging city, arcade machine removal is not something to attempt solo. Our trained professionals do this every day and are prepared for stairs, corners, elevators, and parking constraints.
