Wide span greenhouses are the premier choice for crops that require significant space and uniform conditions – whether you’re growing robust potted plants and ornamentals and bedding plants. Their broad roof spans eliminate obstructive support columns, delivering open production areas that boost flexibility, maximize space utilization, and create the ideal foundation for modern drive technology.
But the true strength of this greenhouse type is revealed only with precise climate control. Our drive systems for ventilation and shading enable perfect regulation of temperature, light, and air circulation at all times. This ensures stable yields, healthy plants, and energy-efficient operations – whether in young plant cultivation or final-stage production.

Ventilation
In wide span greenhouses, precise air circulation is crucial for plant health and maximum yield. Roof and side ventilation ensure natural airflow – perfectly regulated by Lock drive systems.
Lock products deliver safe, reliable, and maintenance-free ventilation control. With integrated automatic shutdown, sensors, and climate control, they protect against extreme weather, reduce energy waste, and create optimal growing conditions.
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
Cabrio ventilation is an innovative solution that allows the roof of the greenhouse to be opened.


Cabrio ventilation MX2 and MX4
Eight different ventilation positions (settings) are possible with the MX4 with Lock control unit!
Side

Row ventilation
Ventilation flaps are located in a row on the side walls of the greenhouses.

Shading / Energy Screen
Shading and darkening systems specifically for wide span 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.
