Mobile Cultivation Racks for an Innovative Cannabis Facility

Space in all the rooms was tight, with about 12 feet in width, 40 feet in length, and varying ceiling heights.

They could take the space-saving concept of rolling tables and multiply its effect by going vertical. They would be heating and cooling the rooms regardless of how many plants were growing in them, and they didn’t want to waste space.
