Opinions

Electrically driven mushroom picking lorries offer intuitive operation and meet the expectations of pickers. The simplicity of disconnecting its drive and battery is an additional advantage. It gives an opportunity for disinfecting picking lorries separately in growing halls.

The implementation of the modernisation of our facilities took some time and from this perspective: it was 100% necessary and the choice of GROWTIME turned out to be correct. Both of our mushroom-growing cellars became modern and more profitable.
