What the Botanicare Slide Bench Trilock Gives Back in Floor Space
A rolling bench buys aisle. Instead of a walkway between every row, the tops slide laterally and you open one aisle wherever you are working. This section measures 4 ft wide x 7.5 ft long x 20 in high on a 1 in x 2 in powder-coated steel frame. It carries 25 lb per sq ft fully loaded. Height, length and aisle width all adjust. Drainage slope adjusts too, up to 5 in of pitch, which is how you get water off a long run without pumping it.
TriLock, Trellising and Extending a Slide Bench Grow Rack
TriLock is the part that earns its name. It locks the tray seams together so a multi-section run behaves like one surface. It also accepts 3/4 in PVC or 1 in EMT conduit as trellis uprights. Plant support ties into the bench instead of bolting on later. The included gutter trays move 23% more air than the original trays. That is a real difference in a packed canopy, where mold starts at the pot line. An anti-tip bar and bump stop keep it stable when the top is rolled fully to one side. Sections extend in 2, 3, 4 or 5 ft increments out to 100 ft 6 in. Worth being plain about scope. This listing is the single 7.5 ft section, so extensions, end kits and additional trays are separate lines.
Key Features
- 1 in x 2 in powder-coated steel frame: Rated to 25 lb per sq ft loaded, covering full pots and standing water.
- Adjustable length, height and aisle width: Set the bench to the room instead of laying the room out around a fixed bench.
- Slope adjustment up to 5 in: Drains a long run by gravity rather than adding a pump and a failure point.
- TriLock seam and trellis system: Locks tray seams into one surface and takes 3/4 in PVC or 1 in EMT uprights for plant support.
- Gutter trays with 23% more airflow: Moves more air under the canopy than the original trays, where humidity and mold usually start.
- Anti-tip bar with bump stop: Keeps the top stable when it is rolled fully to one side and loaded.
- Extends to 100 ft 6 in: Adds in 2, 3, 4 or 5 ft increments, so a room scales without changing systems.
