Lane Equipment Company is proud to announce our partnership with Spaceman USA as an authorized dealer and preferred warranty service provider for their full line of soft serve and frozen beverage machines.
For nearly 60 years, Lane Equipment has built our reputation on one thing: keeping Texas food service operations running. When we evaluate a new equipment partner, we don't just look at brochures—we look at what matters to the operators we serve every day. Reliability. Profitability. Freedom to run your business on your terms.
That's exactly what Spaceman delivers.
The Problem We Kept Hearing About
If you've ever operated a frozen beverage or soft serve program, you know the frustration. Machines that break down during your busiest hours. Restrictive service contracts that lock you in and limit your options. Equipment that guzzles energy while your margins shrink.
Texas operators told us they needed something better. We listened.
What Made Spaceman the Right Fit
Aerospace Engineering, Real-World Results
Spaceman machines are designed by aerospace engineers, and you can feel the difference in every serving. Their patented freezing-cylinder technology produces the smallest ice crystals in the industry, resulting in smoother soft serve and consistently perfect frozen drinks—no ice crunch, no inconsistency between servings.
Here's what that engineering translates to in your operation:
- 4 minutes from power-on to first serving. No more waiting around during the morning rush or before happy hour.
- Fastest recovery times in the industry. High-volume service without the machine falling behind.
- Lowest energy cost per serving. Your electric bill stays manageable even when your frozen drink sales take off.
No Locked-In Contracts
This was a big one for us. Spaceman doesn't trap operators in restrictive service agreements or force mandatory maintenance contracts. You get to choose how your equipment is serviced, and that aligns perfectly with how we've always done business at Lane Equipment .
You have two paths:
- Full-service support through Lane Equipment's factory-trained technicians—available 24/7 across our four Texas locations. We handle installation, maintenance, and repair so you can focus on your customers.
- Self-service with resources. Spaceman machines are genuinely easy to maintain, backed by a comprehensive library of how-to videos and guides. If your team wants to handle day-to-day upkeep, the tools are there.
Either way, you're in control.
Versatility That Opens Up Your Menu
One Spaceman machine line covers an impressive range of products: soft serve ice cream, frozen yogurt, custard, sorbet, frozen coffee, slushies, milkshakes, margaritas, smoothies, daiquiris, and even açaí bowls. Every machine is approved for both dairy and non-dairy products.
Whether you're a convenience store adding a frozen drink program, a bar looking to expand your frozen cocktail menu, or a restaurant building out a dessert offering, there's a Spaceman model built for your volume and your space—from entry-level countertop units to high-capacity floor-standing machines.
What This Partnership Means for You
Lane Equipment isn't just selling Spaceman machines. We're your authorized dealer and preferred warranty service provider for Spaceman in Texas. That means:
- Expert consultation to match the right machine to your operation, your traffic, and your goals.
- Factory-trained technicians across Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and the Rio Grande Valley who know these machines inside and out.
- Genuine parts and warranty service backed by both Spaceman and Lane Equipment's nearly 60 years of service expertise.
- Equipment leasing options that let you add frozen beverages to your menu with fixed monthly costs instead of a large upfront investment.
- 24/7 emergency support. Because a frozen margarita machine going down on a Friday night is lost revenue, not just an inconvenience.
The Profit Opportunity Is Real
Frozen beverages consistently deliver some of the highest profit margins in food service—often between 500% and 1,100% on each drink served. When your equipment is reliable, energy-efficient, and easy to maintain, those margins go straight to your bottom line rather than being eaten up by service calls and downtime.
Spaceman even offers a profit calculator so you can see what adding a frozen program could mean for your specific operation. Our team at Lane Equipment can walk you through those numbers and help you build a plan that makes sense for your business.
Trusted by High-Volume Operations Nationwide
Spaceman equipment is already running in some of the busiest operations in the country, including 7 Brew Coffee (230+ locations), Dutch Bros Coffee, and Black Rock Coffee Bar. High-volume concert and sports venues have reported significant sales increases after switching to Spaceman machines because the equipment keeps up with demand—even in the heat.
That last part matters a lot in Texas.
