Flexstar Catwalk 2x32 Aluminum 5mm with Hanger Parts

What It Is

The Flexstar Catwalk 2x32 Aluminum 5mm with Hanger Parts is a commercial mounting rail system engineered specifically for Flexstar's under-canopy LED bar lineup. The catwalk format provides a rigid, double-row structural channel that runs horizontally across a canopy layer, giving operators a clean, repeatable way to position LED bars at a consistent height and spacing throughout the room.

Built from 5mm-wall aluminum extrusion, the rail is designed for the environmental demands of an active cultivation facility — humidity, temperature swings, and the continuous mechanical stress of fixture weight over long production cycles. The included hanger parts complete the installation kit, so operators are not sourcing brackets and fasteners separately.

Who It's For

This rail system is the right infrastructure component for licensed cannabis and hemp facilities running Flexstar under-canopy LED bars in a mid-canopy or inter-canopy lighting strategy. If your cultivation design calls for supplemental lighting positioned between the top-light plane and the lower bud sites — or if you are running a multi-tier vertical build where each tier needs its own independent light rail — the Catwalk 2x32 is the structural solution.

It is particularly relevant for operators retrofitting an existing single-tier flower room to add under-canopy coverage, or for new build-outs where the canopy lighting plan was designed from the outset around a layered LED approach. Commercial cultivators running high plant density on rolling benches or fixed raised beds will get the most value here, as consistent rail positioning translates directly into uniform PPFD across the lower canopy.

Key Features

The 5mm aluminum wall profile delivers the structural rigidity needed to support a full run of LED bar fixtures without sag or flex over extended spans — an important consideration when planning room-length runs in a commercial grow. Aluminum's corrosion resistance also makes it the correct material choice for high-humidity cultivation environments where steel hardware corrodes and weakens over time.

The 2×32 rail layout provides a dual-channel configuration that accommodates paired fixture rows, allowing operators to center bars across a bed or row without independent rigging for each fixture. All hanger parts are included with the catwalk, meaning the system arrives as a complete mounting solution — brackets, suspension hardware, and rail — ready to integrate into ceiling attachment points or overhead truss infrastructure. No field fabrication of custom brackets required.

How It Fits a Commercial Build

Under-canopy lighting strategy is proven to increase photosynthetically active radiation reaching lower bud sites that overhead fixtures cannot efficiently reach. A properly installed catwalk rail system locks that strategy in place — fixtures stay at the designed mounting height, spacing stays consistent row to row, and adjustments during the crop cycle are straightforward because the rail structure is already established.

For facilities operating Flexstar LED bar fixtures, using Flexstar's own catwalk system ensures mechanical compatibility and uniform load distribution across the fixture connection points.
