A monorail type spraying carrier for small-size multiple-span greenhouses for areas under 10 a was developed. The carrier which is driven by a DC motor, automatically travels hanging from a rail attached under the beam of the greenhouses. The carrier is moved manually to the next span rail by a cart which moves while hanging from the hanger-rail. A power sprayer and spraying hose can be attached to the carrier; one carrier can be utilized in all greenhouses a farmer manages.
