Botanicare Slide Bench with TriLock Trellis, 4 ft x 7.5 ft x 20 in | Rolling Bench

How the Botanicare Slide Bench Is Put Together This configuration is a 4 ft wide by 7 ft 6 in long slide bench at a 20 in working height. A powder-coated steel frame carries roller tubes held at fixed spacing, and the tray deck rolls across them. Each top travels 8.5 in from center, which leaves a minimum aisle of 17 in wherever the aisle is opened. The trays are heavy-gauge ABS Grow Mod trays with a 4.5 in sidewall and a drain screen with three punch-outs. They are rated for 25 lb per sq ft. Drainage slope adjusts by up to 5 in on the 20 in height. Integrated TriLock trellis supports sit inside the frame and accept 3/4 in PVC, 3/4 in EMT or 1 in EMT conduit. TriLock also protects and secures the tray seams and adds 2 1/4 in to the system width. An anti-tip bar with bump stops keeps a loaded top steady at full travel. Fittings in 3/4 in and 1 in sizes are included, while floor anchors are not. The system extends in 5 ft steps up to 100 ft 6 in, with end kits of 2, 3, 4 or 5 ft. Shipping weight is about 138.6 lb, and the warranty runs one year. Laying Out a Botanicare Rolling Bench Room A Botanicare rolling bench system turns most of a room into canopy by trading fixed walkways for one aisle that moves. Start with the floor, because the frame needs a level, solid base to roll smoothly. Mark bench lines and the drain path before assembly so slope and plumbing agree. Assembly takes a small crew several hours, so plan the build before plants arrive. Set the drainage pitch toward the end with the floor drain or return line. Load trays evenly and keep the heaviest pots toward the center of each top. Raise trellis uprights early in the crop and run netting before the canopy fills in. Walk the aisle with the room full to check that carts and hoses clear the bench edges. Ebb and flow on large bench areas adds humidity, so size dehumidification for the extra water surface. Clean trays and roller tubes between cycles so debris does not build up under the deck.
