Key Benefits
- The GROWRAK™️ 2.0 frames are made of powder coated galvanized steel for excellent corrosion resistance and its bolted construction with no welds offers great flexibility while further increasing corrosion resistance. All the hardware is stainless steel and the frames can withstand up to 2,400 lbs.
- The frame footplates are made of stainless steel and secure the system with a bolted connection.
- The beams are designed to minimize standing water and they can be loaded up to 400 lbs per pair. Their steel construction has been surface treated and powder coated for improved resistance to rust.
- Universal sloped tray & light supports are used to add a primary inclination to the ABS trays so that water drains to one side. This allows for simpler drain canalization while still functioning as LED light supports. Supports are slotted at multiple locations to allow for compatibility with various LED light fixture manufacturers. It offers an ideal continuous support for plastic trays and fixation possibilities for light fixtures.
- The frame uprights have been stripped of unnecessary holes to minimize cut edge corrosion.
- The frame bracing can be customized to provide appropriate clearance for the client’s application and equipment.
- Montel's SmartDrain™️ Plug&Grow ABS plastic trays are ideal to properly support and irrigate your plants.

APPLICATION
Montel’s GROWRAKTM 2.0 system is ideal for vertical farming applications and engineered for Montel’s GREENRAK® 2.0 and GROW&ROLL® 8MA mobile grow systems.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
- Frames: Made of two galvanized steel custom shaped uprights bolted to multiple C shaped galvanized steel cross members bracing. Footplate is made of formed stainless steel. Uprights and braces are powder coated and assembled with stainless steel hardware.
- Beams: Made of powder coated surface treated steel formed 3” high and adjustable at 2” increments. Open channel beam design to prevent standing water.
- Universal Sloped Tray & Light Supports: Made of powder-coated galvanized steel. Slotted with multiple holes for compatibility with various LED light fixtures. Creates a one-degree angle when installed. See technical data sheet M01.164.109.
INNOVATIVE UPRIGHT FRAMES
The sleek, smooth finish of the uprights minimize cut-edge corrosion, and are built without holes on two faces of the frames for easier cleaning and bacteria prevention.
NO DIAGONAL BRACING OPTIMIZES AIRFLOW:
For better airflow, the diagonal upright frame bracing has been replaced with horizontal bracing, though there is enough spacing for oversize or infinite trays to pass through the upright frames. (Note: Diagonal bracing may be required in some instances.)
CUSTOMIZABLE BRACING
Custom bracing provides clearance between each level for greater airflow and accommodates ventilation system ducts, lighting fixtures, and other utilities. The bottom horizontal frame bracing can also be customized to provide the desired clearance for pipes, fittings, and other utilities just above floor level.
STANDING WATER PREVENTION:
The beams are designed to minimize standing water, and the inverted reinforcements on the optional wire mesh decking prevents standing water.
BEAM ADJUSTABILITY
The beams are adjustable at 2” (5.08 cm) increments and lock safely into the tapered holes of the upright frames. The strong welded uprights facilitate the assembly process.
FLUSH OR SLOPED UNIVERSAL SUPPORTS:
The front-to-back flush or sloped universal supports are designed to accommodate trays and hang lighting fixtures.
The inclined supports allow for easy drainage:
- Trays sloped over 8 feet (2.4m).
- Trays sloped over the full length of the racking row.
UNIVERSAL SUPPORTS WITH VARIOUS ANCHORING POINTS
The front-to-back universal supports integrate seamlessly with LED lights and allow for various lighting attachment positions. Brackets and mounting hardware are available to hang numerous models of LED light fixtures and Montel’s built-in LoopAir® 2.0 dual ventilation system (patent pending).
WIRE MESH DECKING:
In lieu of front-to-back supports to accommodate trays, hang lighting, or attach other utilities, you may opt for wire mesh decking. The wire mesh decking provides numerous possibilities for LED lighting attachment. The wire mesh decking is designed with upside-down reinforcements to eliminate standing water.
POWDER-COATED WHITE PAINT:
GROWRAKTM 2.0 is finished with an ultra-reflective antimicrobial powder-coated white paint approved by the FDA.
