Glasshouses are warm, humid and full of things you cannot damage: the glazing above, the wire system below, the crop on both sides. Battery drive is the only practical option, and the deck width has to stay inside the row pitch.

Shading screens and vent drives sit above the crop, which is where the platform earns its place — the work is at 2–4 m, high enough to need a deck and low enough that a ladder is a daily safety problem.
