Frequently Asked Questions
Below are a few commonly asked questions about our Mobile Vertical Racking Systems. Want to learn more? Reach out to our sales team for more information!
How many rows can I move at one time?
It depends on length and height of rows, but on average three or four rows can be moved at once.
How many plants fit on each grow tray?
The standard is 36 plants per 4x8 grow tray. However, every group is unique in how they grow.
How tall can the racks be?
Mechanical-Assist Cultivation Systems can be built up to 16' high and 56' long. Systems larger than this would require engineering approval.
What kind of track and rails are used? How are they installed?
Our unique track and rail system is made of marine-grade aluminum and stainless steel. It is only ½" high and includes an anti-tip feature to comply with seismic codes. We level and anchor the rails into concrete floors for a high quality, safe installation that performs for decades.
What about irrigation and drainage?
Irrigation and drainage equipment is typically provided by the end user. Our systems can be designed to accommodate a wide range of applications.
Can vertical grow racks tolerate the conditions of a grow room?
Yes. However, prolonged exposure to excessive humidity levels (+55% RH) and direct contact with water can eventually cause corrosion and/or oxidation over time. These are merely cosmetic and do not compromise the strength and durability of the grow system. Routine cleaning and maintenance of the system is the best way to mitigate this risk and maximize the system's performance and longevity.
What cultivation, greenhouse, and dispensary storage solutions does Pipp offer?
Pipp provides cultivation infrastructure, mobile vertical grow systems, rolling benches, greenhouse growing systems, and dispensary storage solutions designed to help operators maximize space and improve workflow. Through Pipp Horticulture, Pipp Mobile Storage Systems, and GGS Greenhouse Structures, the Pipp family of brands supports cultivation, post-harvest, retail, and greenhouse operations with solutions that improve efficiency, organization, and production capacity.
Can Pipp solutions support General Agriculture, not just cannabis cultivation?
Yes. While Pipp is widely known for serving the cannabis industry, its solutions are also used in controlled-environment agriculture applications including leafy greens, herbs, seedlings, strawberries, and other specialty crops. Pipp's vertical growing systems, rolling benches, and greenhouse solutions help growers maximize space and improve operational efficiency across a variety of crops.
How can Pipp help maximize grow room or greenhouse capacity?
Pipp helps growers maximize available space through mobile vertical grow systems, rolling benches, and cultivation infrastructure designed to increase canopy and improve workflow. By making better use of both floor space and vertical space, growers can expand production capacity within their existing footprint. Pipp's mobile vertical grow rack systems can help growers achieve up to 5x greater production capacity compared to traditional single-level cultivation layouts. Through GGS Greenhouse Structures, growers can also implement greenhouse-specific solutions to further optimize space utilization.
Can Pipp systems be installed in existing cultivation facilities?
Yes. Pipp solutions can be installed in both new construction projects and existing cultivation facilities. Whether expanding capacity, upgrading equipment, or retrofitting a grow room, our team works with growers to design solutions that maximize efficiency while minimizing disruption to ongoing operations.
Can Pipp systems be customized for my cultivation facility?
Yes. Pipp systems are designed to be customized based on facility dimensions, cultivation methods, workflow requirements, and production goals. Our team works closely with growers to develop tailored solutions that support their operational needs while maximizing space and efficiency. Growers can also use our Design Your Space tool to explore layout options and begin planning a cultivation solution customized to their facility.
How do I get started with designing a commercial cultivation facility?
Getting started is simple. Growers can connect with the Pipp team to discuss their facility goals, cultivation requirements, and available space. From initial planning and layout development to equipment selection and implementation, our team helps design customized cultivation solutions that support long-term operational success.
