Cannabis growing is becoming legal in more states. Rack Systems are important. Potential commercial growers should ask themselves these questions:
- Are you outdoor, indoor or hybrid?
- What kind of lighting rack are you using in Flower rooms? Veg? (HPS is High Pressure Sodium, LED is Light Emitting Diode.)
- How many licenses/plants are you guys growing? What is the size of the canopy you are planning?
- Are you growing on a single tier or multi-tier?
- What method of grow are you using? (Hydroponic, Aeroponic, simple buckets, specialized growth mediums)
- Do you have a process control system are you using?
- What is your timing on this facility?
- Is the budget set?
- How high is the ceiling in your facility?
Adjustable Overhead Grow Light Lifts for Everyone
We have a wide range of applications from small lifts for the craft grower, row by row lifts, whole room lifts and multi-tier lifts for pallet or movable racking.

We have three rack system solutions.
Our overhead machines are perfect for single tier growers looking to maximize profitability.
Our undercarriage systems are designed for multi-tier growers.
Our drying rack systems were designed by growers frustrated by the lack of options for lowering worker stress, increasing efficiency and fully utilizing space.

For a set up with a 16 x 20 room and 20 lights the options are:
- 4 Rows, 4 machines: Standard price for individual rows
- 2 Rows per machine, 2 machines (i.e 2 rows move together): 20 – 30% less than individual rows

Automated Overhead Drying Racks
Drying Rooms are a universal problem for growers. Most growers built them small and with improved yields do not have enough space.
To solve this issue, we have three different drying rack options:
The Flatbed, the 3 in 1 System and the Liftable Rolling Drying Rack
Lift and Grow’s Revolutionary, Overhead, Automated, Drying Racks Will Improve Your Operations
A common pain point for commercial cannabis growers– the drying process. Not only was drying, hanging, and curing the cannabis plants costing businesses time and money, but it was also costing floor space due to the stationary nature of traditional drying racks. That’s why Lift and Grow set out on a mission to develop the best cannabis drying racks for commercial cannabis companies and hemp farmers.
We have two solutions that will revolutionize the drying process for your cannabis facility– the 3-in-1 Overhead Cannabis Drying Net and Hanger System and the Overhead Flatbed Cannabis Drying Rack. Using the same lift machines that automate our popular grow light solutions, we aim to simplify the drying process while helping to keep employees off ladders, maximize floor space, and improve efficiency.
Why Use Our Cannabis and Hemp Drying Nets?
With our 3-in-1 Overhead Cannabis Drying Net System, you can lift up to 250 lbs. of wet cannabis cuttings overhead with the touch of a button. Not only does this lift system allow you to free up floor space and increase drying capacity, but it also keeps employees off ladders.
The 8 foot long motorized lift comes out of the box with the three most popular drying rack configurations.
It can be set up with a single bar and netting, two parallel bars with netting, or two “over/under” bars that can accommodate hundreds of hangers. Two additional bars can be purchased. The whole system can be raised or lowered as little as an inch at a time to aid in loading and unloading.
Once your lift is installed in your grow room or facility, the drying process is simple. To get started, follow these steps:
Lower your drying rack bar from its storage position in the ceiling to the floor
Clip the new netting or bars to the post.
Press the lift’s button to slowly begin raising the post and attached netting or bars with hangers to the ceiling.
As the lift begins slowly raising to the ceiling, employees can begin attaching plants to the net or hangers
to the bars. Once fully extended, the cuttings will be securely stowed overhead for the remainder of the
drying process.
Why Use Our Overhead Cannabis and Hemp Drying Racks?
The Overhead Flatbed Drying Rack is ideal for growers that are searching for ways to improve production and drying operations, while also maximizing their facility’s existing space. This cannabis drying rack can help you to triple drying room capacity and achieve consistent spacing of cannabis plants to ensure there are fewer problems throughout the curing process. Additionally, these overhead drying racks free up floor space and keep employees off of ladders thanks to our motorized lifts.
The overhead drying rack is 4’ by 8’ telescoping horizontal platforms powered by an efficient electric motor to raise and lower the racks. You can purchase 1- 4 flatbed racks depending upon your ceiling height. This allows the racks to work in rooms with ceilings as low as 8’. Each platform holds 45 – 50 lbs. of wet cuttings.
