Grow More. Period.

Montel is proud to unveil GreenWalk™, the premier catwalk solution tailored for high-density indoor vertical farming systems—setting a new standard in design and functionality. In the ever-evolving world of indoor farming, easy and fast access to upper tiers and reconfiguring vertical grow rack systems without disrupting workflows has long been a challenge. Responding to our customers' needs, Montel has engineered GreenWalk™, a patent pending revolutionary in-rack retractable catwalk designed to optimize multi-tier indoor vertical farming.

Revolutionizing Vertical Farming

GreenWalk™ is a fully integrated retractable in-rack cantilever scaffold — with its lightweight high grade aluminum construction, GreenWalk™ empowers growers to optimize space utilization, streamline operations, and maximize yields like never before. GreenWalk™ is so simple, it’s revolutionary. It mounts directly to your GREENRAK® mobile vertical farming grow rack system with easy-to-use snap-and-hook hardware. 

The innovative design allows the user to easily hook the platform on the mobile unit and then flip & snap it to the adjacent mobile unit. No modifications to your existing system are required. Once GreenWalk™ is simply retracted, unlike other industry's scaffolds mounted between two mobile carriages, aisles and crops remain accessible at all times thereby the entire Montel GREENRAK® high-density mobile system is always fully operational. No piece-by-piece setup and teardown necessary, and no extra storage space or room needed so you're never at risk of cross-contamination. 

Enhancing Plant Growth and High-Density Farming

GreenWalk's innovative in-rack design ensures that it does not obstruct light or ventilation, crucial factors for plant growth. By providing easy access to upper tiers without compromising light and air circulation, GreenWalk™ supports optimal plant development and maximizes space utilization, critical for high-density farming. Its retractable design allows for rapid reconfiguration of farming operations.

Its ability to deploy and seamlessly withdraw between mobile carriages does not affect the functionality of the entire mobile system and accessibility to other aisle. The lightweight platform and anti-slip step ladder can be easily adjusted to the desired height in every aisle. Adjustments can be made swiftly, maintaining productivity and minimizing downtime.

GreenWalk™ scaffolds can be dedicated to multiple aisles. It can be simultaneously used on both sides of a mobile aisle unit for quick harvest. Additionally, the rustproof GreenWalk™ is provided with stainless steel hardware and also coated with antimicrobial powder-coated paint, providing an extra layer of protection.

Key Advantages of the Patent Pending GreenWalk™

• Efficiency: Requires only two feet of aisle space, allowing for quick and easy access.
• Space-saving: Its retractable design means no additional dedicated storage area is needed.
• Accessibility: Does not require a fully open aisle, unlike other catwalk or scissor lifts which can disrupt operations. 
• Safety: Safety bars secure the mobile units to avoid any overturn possibilities and are also used as guards at the end of the platform.
• Sturdy lightweight construction: High-grade aluminum construction capable of withstanding multiple heavyweight users.
