Cultivation Systems
Cultivation systems and automated crop transport for greenhouses and indoor farms
How cultivation systems improve your workflow
Bosman Van Zaal designs and builds cultivation systems for greenhouses and indoor farms. Our rolling benches and mobile containers move crops between growing areas and workstations. As a result, your team spends less time moving plants by hand.
Each system fits your crop, site layout and daily tasks. For example, you can choose manual benches or a fully automated container system. You can also add irrigation, extra growing layers and software to manage crop transport. This helps you use your space well and keep daily work on track.
Modern growing starts with our rolling bench systems
A cultivation system connects growing areas with daily crop care and transport. Rolling benches and mobile containers help your team work in several ways:
- Make better use of space: Reduce fixed aisles to leave more room for crops.
- Move plants with less effort: Choose manual or automated transport to suit your daily tasks.
- Bring crops to your team: Move plants to workstations for crop care and checks. This reduces walking between growing areas.
- Support watering and drainage: Choose container bottoms that suit your growing method.
- Manage crop movements: Add ISAL logistics software to plan and control container transport.
Together, these features help you use space well and keep crops moving through your facility.
Cultivation systems: models and options
Our cultivation systems range from manual rolling benches to fully automated mobile containers. Each model uses a strong aluminium frame, with a choice of bottoms to suit your crop and growing method.
The layout depends on your available space and how you move plants through the site. For example, rails and roller tracks can connect growing areas with workstations. Multi-layer setups can also make use of the space above the floor.
Choose the level of automation that fits your daily work. We help you combine the right benches, transport options and software for your growing process.
Designed and built in-house
Bosman Van Zaal designs and builds its rolling benches and mobile containers in-house. This means we can adapt our cultivation systems to your crop, site layout and transport needs.
Our team also helps with installation and commissioning, so your system is ready for use. After that, we support you with maintenance, upgrades and service throughout its working life.
