|  | | IGE leads the industry in high-quality racks and benches | | At Hydrofarm we work with top-tier companies and manufacturers to bring our clients the
best product choices and services in the Indoor Agriculture business. Because of that, many
of the products we recommend come from several different manufacturers. However, once
in a while there is a product or company that stands out among the rest. Innovative Grower’s
Equipment is one of those companies. Their benches and racks are superior to others, so we
choose to only offer IGE benches and racks here at Hydrofarm. | | | Not everything in life has to be complicated - including your racks and benches. IGE’s systems
are simple and highly durable. Placed side by side with their competitor, it’s easy to see
IGE’s innovative design and strength, and the competitor’s lack of well-thought-out design,
strength, and durability. In the commercial grow facility, smart design is everything. | | The rack systems of the competitor are built
using 1/8 inch aluminum frames, while IGE is
built using 1/4 inch aluminum framing. Not only
that, but IGE offers 8, 10, and 12-foot tracks,
while the competitor offers only 8 feet. The
result is a thicker, stronger carriage that truly
can’t be shaken vs. racks that are wobbly.
When stacking racks up to 30 feet in height,
a strong carriage isn’t just an option - it’s
essential.
If that isn’t enough, IGE implements a
configuration that utilizes a pallet design
rather than bulk rack, which is commonly the
design of competitors. Why does the pallet
design matter? Imagine everything that
needs support in a rack system…mainly the
lights and irrigation that hang above the plants. That’s a lot of weight. Without proper support,
the entire system can collapse. The pallet design is thicker, sturdier, stronger, and able to
withstand the weight. |
|
| | As a grower, you need a rack system that moves easily and safely. IGE’s racks allow you
to arrange your commercial vertical grow racks in a way that efficiently utilizes every
square inch of your grow facility. They understand that utilizing space is an essential part
of decreasing a facility’s cost and increasing yield. With IGE’s racks, you can place them
together, one after another, yet easily roll them when you need to tend to the plants, then put
them right back into place. To make this easy, they’ve designed a wheel system that isn’t seen
on any other commercial grow rack. | | | The wheel system on an IGE rack is
comprised of 4.5” stainless steel wheels,
which are rust proof and can handle 1,500
lbs per linear foot. Compare that to the
competitor whose wheels are 3.25” zinc
plated, making them only rust resistant, and
handling only 1,000 lbs per linear foot. Another
benefit of IGE’s wheels is their C and C open
channel, compared to competitors who use
a U channel. The C and C open channel is
superior for smooth rolling and a lifetime of
use for the wheels, with little maintenance. |
|
| | You may notice, IGE’s choice in stainless steel
for all of their parts, is an essential piece of
what sets them apart from other rack and
bench companies. Stainless steel is tough and rustproof, and the absolute best choice in the growing environment. Even their machine
handled drive box is mounted directly to the sealed drive chain. Competitors use an unstable
plastic handle and a center mounted drive box that’s connected to the exposed drive chain.
The result of IGE’s design is smooth carriage movement, less maintenance, and no visible
chains. |  | | At Hydrofarm we search for companies that blow the competition away. We believe to do
that, a company must be passionate about the Cannabis industry and an expert in the field.
IGE fits that bill. Their passion shows in their innovative, smart designs. Not only that, but IGE
chooses to purchase 99% of their materials and parts from manufacturers here in the USA.
They also design and build everything in the small town of Sycamore, Illinois. When working
with IGE, we are confident that you’ll receive the highest quality product and outstanding
service. We wouldn’t put Hydrofarm’s name behind it, if we didn’t believe in the product. |
