摘要

The rails (3, 4) along which the plant pots (8) can be moved have a protruding part (16) at one or both ends (5, 6), beneath which the underframe (17) of the carriage (11, 13) used to supply plants to the rail ends can move. A drive mechanism is provided for moving the plant pots between the opposite ends of the rails. At least one carriage with a receiving device for at least one plant pot can be moved in a transverse direction along the ends of the rails and the plant pot receiving device can be moved in a vertical direction. An Independent claim is also included for the carriage, which has the plant pot receiving devices suspended from a tower on one side of the underframe and extending freely over the underframe from the tower.
