The Cabrio greenhouse is the ideal solution for crops that need the protection of a controlled environment while gradually being acclimated to outdoor conditions. This type of greenhouse is especially valued by nurseries, ornamental growers, and young plant producers, as the roof can be opened extensively – almost as if the crops were growing directly outdoors. The result: resilient plants, healthy development, and top quality.
To fully realize these benefits, precise technology is essential. That’s where Lock comes in: our unique drives and control systems for ventilation and shading in Cabrio greenhouses ensure smooth roof movement and optimal climate regulation at all times. Sun, rain, or wind – Lock lets you respond flexibly to every weather condition, creating consistently ideal growing conditions.
Why an Cabrio System?
Compared to conventional ridge ventilation, an Cabrio structure is moved far more frequently and carries significantly higher loads. This places exceptional demands on both the structural design and the drive system.
An Cabrio greenhouse involves:
- Large moving roof sections
- High wind loads
- Many operating cycles per season
- Rapid response to sudden weather changes
- Precise synchronization of multiple drives
Our drive systems are designed precisely for these requirements.
Maximum Opening for Optimum Crop Quality
An Cabrio greenhouse can open up to 95 percent of its roof area, creating a near-open system with direct sunlight and natural air circulation.
Robust rack-and-pinion drives ensure smooth, controlled movement. They provide:
- Synchronized motion sequences
- Uniform power transmission
- High positioning accuracy
- Secure holding in any open position
This creates the technical foundation for stable, consistent crop development.
Our unique solutions for Cabrio greenhouses!
Ventilation
In cabrio greenhouses, precise air circulation is essential for healthy crops and maximum yields. Thanks to the unique roof-opening system, cabrio structures allow full natural ventilation – perfectly managed by Lock drive systems.
Lock products ensure safe, reliable, and maintenance-free ventilation control. With integrated automatic shutdown, sensors, and climate control, they protect against extreme weather, minimize energy waste, and create optimal growing conditions all year round.
No expensive repairs, annoying operating noises, loss of yield or failure due to faulty drive technology: that is the Lock quality promise.
Roof
Cabrio ventilation MX1
With MX 1, both roof halves of the Cabrio greenhouse open simultaneously at the same angle, ensuring uniform ventilation.
Cabrio ventilation MX2 and MX4
The roof halves open independently of each other, enabling flexible climate control, while MX 4 additionally allows ventilation during rainfall.
Opening Systems in the Cabrio Greenhouse
Depending on the requirements for climate control, controllability, and crop type, different opening systems are used in Cabrio greenhouses. The drive technology must be precisely matched to the respective system.
MX 1 – Symmetrical Opening System
With MX 1, both roof halves of the Cabrio greenhouse open simultaneously at the same angle, ensuring uniform ventilation and stable load distribution.
MX 2 – Asymmetrical Opening System
With MX 2, the roof halves of the Cabrio greenhouse open independently of each other, enabling flexible control of airflow and temperature.
MX 4 – Asymmetrical System with Rain Position
With MX 4, one roof half can be moved under the other, allowing the Cabrio greenhouse to be ventilated even during rainfall.
Shading / Energy Screen
Shading and darkening systems specifically for Cabrio greenhouses protect plants from excessive radiation, boost yields, and cut energy costs by using resources only when needed.
The key to efficiency is the right drive technology. Lock products are the first choice: maintenance-free, reliable, precise, and designed for smooth, low-speed operation – ensuring sustainable and efficient greenhouse management.

Control system
Today, intelligent systems make it possible to automatically control the climate, among other things, for the benefit of plants in greenhouses. The integration of digital control systems in greenhouses offers a modern and sustainable solution for gardeners.
Precise control of the climate not only improves plant growth and health, but also increases the efficiency and profitability of operations. In addition to our LSR ventilation controller, we have created a modular, all-encompassing, digital total solution for an ideal greenhouse climate with the Lock SBE farm management system.
LSR control
To ensure reliable climate control for your greenhouse, we offer you our tried-and-tested ventilation controller, which allows you to react quickly and cost-effectively to temperature, wind and rain.
SBE Farm-Management-System
In the field of agriculture, the intelligent, smart system from Lock is a big step into the future – for the benefit of people, animals and plants.
