CASE 06 · NURSERY
A succulent nursery in Gaoyou: small plants, heavy handling.
An ornamental nursery where the crop is light and the trolleys are heavy. The structural lesson is about doors and aisles, not spans.
What was supplied
A film multi-span frame with bench frames and widened door openings. The bench grid was fabricated to the grower's layout so the trolley path was fixed before the frame was erected.
What the project taught us
Nursery buyers ask about span first and access last, then discover that a 1.8 m door is not enough for a loaded trolley. We now ask for the trolley width at enquiry stage, and we quote the door set as a named line rather than an accessory.
Relevance to an export buyer
Door frames are frequently excluded from a “frame” price. Ask for them by name, with the opening width.
