Features
Intelligent Trellis
Pre drilled holes in the side profile allow easier installation and removal of trellis support poles and safe travel through the aisles.
Ergonomic and comfortable to work with
Our design has eliminated all sharp edges and we've even beveled the edges on the side rails so they are comfortable to lean against.
Built to last
Our unique aluminum extrusions have a wall thickness of 0.10", and our galvanized metal components are 18 gauge. We include steel cross bars every 18" for standard benches, upgradeable to 12" spacing upon request.
Using the best trays on the market
Manufactured by Staal Plast on a new modern state-of-the-art co-extruder line, the trays are made using virgin UV-stable High Impact Polystyrene with 3 mm of standard thickness in 3 layers. The top layer is food safe, unlike many other tray options.
Maximize your floor plan
Rolling benches can increase the canopy in a grow room by up to 30% by removing all but one aisle.
No flippin' way!
Our anti flip bracket guarantees safety from the bench tops tipping over and prevent injury/damage to plants.
EZ roll
Simply push or pull the bench top with one hand to slide back and forth. Our 1 7/8" roll bar allows for easy roll when loaded with plants.

| Types of Benches | Recommended Application |
Single-tier Rolling Benches |
Provided they are heavy duty, single-tier benches are low entry cost, efficient, high output growing solutions for indoor and greenhouse operations. Although plants grow larger and require longer veg terms, there are savings in power, labor, and water. Systems maintenance is considerably more straightforward, and overall the system is easier to manage. |
Mobile Single-Tier Track Benches |
Similar to single-tier rolling benches, single-tier track based benches are sturdy, straightforward to manage, low cost of entry, and are similarly oriented towards large plants and fewer harvests. |
Mobile Vertical Grow Rack Systems |
Eye waterningly expensive, but also a good long game play if you're growing large volumes of small plants with faster turnover. Be aware multi-tier systems are complex, require meticulous planning, and are just one of the many considerable expenses in multi-tier growing systems, including high LED lighting costs, circulation, power, HVAC, and more. There's also a good argument in favor of four-tier over three-tier. Two-tier systems are not recommended. |
Inexpensive light duty benches |
We can't think of a compelling reason to recommend these. Start-up costs add up, and we understand the temptation to get oprerations online and focus on improvements later, but you're better off saving for a robust benching/racking solution which will grow with you. More often than not, light duty benches warp under weight, don't last, and require replacement. |
Mobile Single-Tier Track Systems |
Considerably more expensive than other single-tier systems for what you get. For this reason, we cannot recommend them. These are essentially the same as multi-tier track systems, and are therefore dramatically overbuilt for single-tier applications. The first tier is designed to support three or even four tiers, distorting the cost/benefit and resulting in a high cost, overbuilt bench. |
