Seamless integration with other components
Our modular products are designed to easily integrate with lighting, and our plug-and-grow-ready drip trays work with irrigation and drainage systems. Our built-in dual airflow system and environmental sensors integrate perfectly with the mobile vertical grow racks, and our accessories fit flawlessly with various Montel products. We can even recommend sanitizing technology, cleaning detergents, lighting, drainage, HVAC systems, etc.
Extensive network of trained and certified installers
Our licensed local installers are committed to providing outstanding service during the installation process and after completion. Even though our products require little to no maintenance, we offer a preventative maintenance program, which will ensure that your system is in excellent condition for decades to come.
Truly made in North America
We manufacture all our mobile carriages, vertical grow racks, carts, and the built-in airflow duct system. We are not reselling grow racks or mobile carriages from other vendors. We control the design and manufacturing. We are not assembling parts coming from Asia and then falsely claiming that products are sourced, built, and made in the USA. We control quality internally.
We ship worldwide
We are proud to have completed projects in more than seventy-four different countries.
Five-Year limited warranty
For stationary and mobile carriages, rails, racking and shelving. During the five-year warranty period, all replacement parts are included at no cost. Labor and installation are included at no cost during the first year of the five-year warranty period. Installations must be performed by Montel’s certified installers. Exclusion: Based on ever-present humidity within cultivation environments, some oxidation, tarnishing and/or metal decomposition is expected to materialize over time. Cosmetic flaws do not affect the normal operation of the stationary and mobile carriages or the normal operation of the rails, racking, shelving, trays, and accessories. As such, they do not qualify for replacement under any warranty.
