Adloheat Plant Heat Cable with Thermostat - Professional Bench & Bed Heating System
The Adloheat Plant Heat Cable System is an industrial-grade thermal solution engineered for high-success propagation, seed raising, and vigorous root development. Proudly Australian-made, this system is designed for both commercial nurseries and dedicated hobbyists who require precise control over root zone temperatures. The system features a high-durability twin-conductor heating cable with an earth screen, wound around a Kevlar core and double-insulated for maximum safety. When buried in a moist sand bed, the cable provides consistent bottom heat, creating a stabilized microclimate up to 45cm above the surface. This "plug-and-play" system comes factory-fitted with your choice of a manual dial or an upgraded digital thermostat, both housed in water-resistant enclosures for safe greenhouse operation. By maintaining optimal soil temperatures even on the coldest nights, the Adloheat Heat Cable ensures strong, uniform growth and significantly higher germination rates across all plant varieties.
Best For: Large-scale seed germination beds, professional cutting propagation, maintaining bottom heat in greenhouse sand benches, and establishing stable microclimates for exotic or tropical species.
Key Features
- High-Output Watt Density: Delivers approximately 170 watts per m², providing enough thermal power to maintain desired temperatures even in unheated greenhouses during peak winter.
- Advanced Safety Engineering: Features a twin-conductor cable with an earth screen and double insulation, rated IPX7 for safe use in the damp, high-moisture environments essential for propagation.
- Customisable Control Options: Available with a standard 0–50°C Dial Thermostat for intuitive manual control, or a Digital Upgrade pre-set to 23°C for high-precision electronic regulation.
- Ready-to-Install Design: Factory-fitted and hardwired for immediate use with no electrician or specialist knowledge required—simply roll out, cover with sand, and plug in.
- Robust Kevlar-Core Construction: Built for longevity and heavy-duty use, the cable is designed to be buried in sand or laid on insulated ground without degrading over time.

Oversized Item Delivery Options
Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.
Available options include:
✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)
Important Notes:
- Shipping costs vary by location and method
- Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
- Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
- Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
- Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions
Business Delivery:
- Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
- If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
- Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment
See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.
Important Note on Availability & Shipping
Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).
How lead times work:
- Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
- Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
- Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
- Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
- Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.
Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.
