Well I do know a little about these machines. I was a P W distributor for quite a few years and have sold them (until recently) since 1966. The machine will work for you in the space mentioned...but just barely. And the darn thing is really expensive so think twice...and the quality of the machines is not as good as they used to be... The reason I quit selling them. A suggestion. Mount the Mec Loaders on a plywood base and put a stop on the bench(a strip of 1/4 round works)...then just put the machine on the bench and if you need to, put one screw through it with a power driver into the bench top. Filling the bottles is easy as you just fill them on the loading bench while up...Use a funnel LOL.. You could also put 2 strips on the bench and put the loader on the plywood between them ...It'll work fine. I used to use that arrangement with Mec loaders. I will measure one of my P-W machines to see the exact measurements.. They have changed the size 3 times since 1966.. I even know of a P-W loader for sale..2 in fact one 12 and 1 20. I think he is asking 350 each for them
