Rail systems guide GROW carriages to optimize space, provide access to aisles, facilitate smooth carriage movement, and are designed to resist corrosion. Rail options include recessed and surface mount. The rails can be placed on leveled or unleveled floors and include anti-tip options.
RAIL OPTIONS:
Floorless Surface Mount Rail
Surface rails can be placed on top of existing floors. Smooth carriage movement is assured due to staggered joints that provide smooth transitions throughout the room.
- For corrosion resistance, options include extruded aluminum alloy base with zinc-coated hardened steel bar, stainless steel, or zinc-coated steel
- Top of rail extends a maximum of .5” (12.7mm) above floor surface meeting ADA requirements
- Anti-tip option available
Recessed Rail
Recessed rails can be installed into new or existing flooring. Smooth carriage movement is assured due to staggered joints that provide smooth transitions throughout the room.
- Available in corrosion-resistant stainless steel or zinc-coated steel.
- Rail is flush with the floor surface
- Level and unleveled options available
- Anti-tip option available
CARRIAGE:
Assembled structural steel carriage base with a maximum capacity of 3000 lbs. (1,360kg) per carriage section. Low-profile wheels are part of our patented drop-in wheel assemblies that disperse weight and can accommodate heavy loads with minimal wear over the life of the system with mounting the system just 4" (102mm) from the floor. The carriage is constructed with diagonal cross bracing that provides increased alignment to reduce the risk of racking at extended lengths with heavy loads. Carriage components are painted with powder-coat paint with an optional antimicrobial paint to reduce the amount of steel exposed to harsh environments and help mitigate rust accumulation.
Dimensions
- Carriage Overall Lengths range from one 3’ (91.4m) section up to 60’ (18m) long (with this Revit model starting at 4’ 4’ (1.21m),
- Section lengths range from 48” (121.9cm) to 96” (243.84cm) on 12” (30.5cm) increments.
- Carriage depths available are 24” (60.9cm) or 48” (121.9cm).
Mode of Operation
Mechanical Assist system operation control allows staff to move thousands of pounds safely and easily with minimal effort.
- Three-spoke ergonomic handle
- Anti-roll passive safety feature prevents carriages from rolling when the safety lock is engaged
- Optional dual controls allow access from both ends of the system
Aisle Widths
When planning aisle space for a bank of carriages, consider the sizing of equipment needed to access upper levels during planting/harvesting as well as the turning radius needed to access the aisle. Additionally, check local accessibility regulations (ADA) and fire codes for minimum standards and requirements.
VERTICAL RACKING
Our GROW Drying shelving is fully adjustable using Vertical posts and T-bars to optimize space in drying rooms while also promoting proper air circulation among hanging plants. Easy knock-down upright construction for cleanability. GROW White paint is designed for UV exposure and humid environments, with high reflectivity, excellent color fastness, and antimicrobial properties.
Dimensions:
- Uprights are available from 60” (152.4cm) to 192” (487.6cm) tall, adjustable on 1 ½” (3.81cm) increments.
- Single Tiered Systems will range from 60” (152.4cm) to 132” (335.2cm) tall.
- Two-Tiered Systems will range from 132” (335.2cm) to 192” (487.6cm) tall (with this Revit model starting at 133.5” (339cm).
- Upright depths are only available in 24” (60.9cm) or 48” (121.9cm).
- Beam design offers configured sizes in 12” (30.4cm) increments between 48” (121.9cm) and 96” (243.8cm) in length.
Vertical Posts:
Add, remove, or move these vertical posts depending on the width of clipping.
T-Bars:
Adjustable on 1 ½” (3.81cm) increments for clippings of any length.
Catch Trays:
Catch trays are not load-bearing and are placed at the bottom of all racking underneath the vertical supports to catch fallen plant material. Easy to remove and clean.
Catch trays are offered in 24" (60.9cm) or 48" (121.9cm) depths to match the carriage and shelving depths. In both of these depths, they are offered in widths of 12” (30.4cm) or 24” (60.9cm) depending on the section length.
