In the world of commercial cannabis cultivation, every square foot and every minute counts. Between the vegetative state, flowering, harvesting, and drying, plants are constantly in motion—a process often referred to as the “Cannabis Shuffle.”
Without a strategic material handling plan, this “shuffle” can lead to damaged crops, worker fatigue, and contaminated environments. To master your workflow, you need equipment that is as agile and high-performing as your cultivars. At New Age Industrial, we design specialized, American-made aluminum solutions in Norton, Kansas, specifically to handle the unique logistical challenges of lean cultivation.
Streamlining the Grow Cycle: Ebb and Flow Hydro Tables
Efficiency starts in the grow room. Traditional stationary benches can limit your ability to clean or reorganize as plants mature. Our specialized tables are built to provide a stable, sanitary base for every stage:
Ebb and Flow Hydroponic Grow Tables: Our Adjustable Hydro Tables (Models 52100 & 52513) are designed to support heavy hydroponic setups. Their heavy-duty aluminum construction ensures they will never rust or corrode, regardless of nutrient levels or 100% humidity environments.
Precision Scale Tables: Yield data and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable for METRC-tracked facilities. Our Mobile Cannabis Scale Table (Model 95729ACST) features dual stainless steel tops, providing a vibration-resistant surface to ensure measurements remain accurate during the harvest.
Mastering the Dry and Cure: Specialized Racks & Frames
The drying and curing stage is the most sensitive part of the process. Poor airflow can lead to mold and ruined harvests. Our racks are engineered to maximize vertical space while ensuring 360-degree airflow—a critical factor for terpene preservation.
Hang Drying Solutions: The Adjustable Drying Rack Frame (Model 52505) and the Swing-Out Basket Hanger Arm (Model 52506) allow for high-density hanging without crowding, preventing moisture pockets and allowing for consistent micro-climate management.
Mobile Efficiency: For large-scale transport, our Mobile Cannabis Drying Rack (Model 53809) comes equipped with a T-Bar bottom shelf and 24 stainless steel hooks to increase your harvest-to-cure throughput.
High-Density Storage: The Double-Deep Mobile Transport Rack (Model 52983) can hold up to 40 trays (21” x 42”), moving entire harvests with ease. This mobility allows for a strict “one-way flow” through the facility, which is a key strategy for cross-contamination prevention between batches.

Precision at the Finish Line: Ergonomic Trim Tables
Once the drying is complete, the final shuffle moves to the processing room. Ergonomics are vital to prevent worker strain during long shifts.
Our Heavy Duty Dual Hole Cannabis Trim Tables—available with a Reinforced I-Frame (Model 52407) or U-Frame (Model 52368)—feature removable 16 GA stainless steel tops and integrated lug tubs. These are designed at the optimal height to keep your team focused on quality rather than discomfort, and they are incredibly easy to sanitize between batches.
Why Choose New Age Aluminum for Your Facility?
In a cultivation environment, sanitation is a top priority. Unlike wood (which can harbor mold and pests) or steel (which can rust), New Age Industrial’s high-tensile, primary-grade aluminum is non-porous, antimicrobial-friendly, and naturally rust and corrosion resistant, standing up to the most rigorous cleaning protocols.
The New Age Advantage:
- Rust-Proof Guarantee: Ideal for high-humidity grow rooms.
- Lightweight & Mobile: Heavy-duty plate casters allow one worker to move hundreds of pounds of product effortlessly.
- Made in the USA: Manufactured in Norton, KS, ensuring your facility meets the highest domestic quality standards.
