Rolling Benches (Floating Aisle)

Choose increased production area.

The Floating Aisle Bench System turns unprofitable aisle areas into profit-producing growing space. One "floating" aisle in your greenhouse is all you need.

Our unique system allows you to move the access aisle from one side of the greenhouse to the other - and anywhere in between. The square footage gained by eliminating unused aisles can increase your growing area by as much as 30% to a maximum of 84-87% of ground area.

Choose a total system. For maximum greenhouse efficiency, combine the Floating Aisle system with the Ebb and Flow irrigation system, and with the Alcoa Aluminum Fin (under-the-bench) Heating System or other in bench or below bench heating.

Contact the experts at U.S. Global Resources for details on pricing and installation.

Choose floating aisle benches in many widths with lengths to your specifications.
