The Aeroplas Pot Carry Tray 9cm Round x 18 Grey is a professional horticultural carry tray designed to accommodate 18 compatible 9cm round nursery pots. Its moulded pot positions provide an organised and practical solution for handling, transporting and presenting container-grown plants throughout commercial nursery production and distribution.
Measuring 55 x 31.5cm, this rectangular carry tray provides 18 individual positions for compatible 9cm pots. The moulded design helps keep containers separated and supported during routine nursery handling, reducing the need to move individual plants separately.
The tray features an open construction with drainage openings beneath the pot positions. This allows excess irrigation water to pass through, making it suitable for growing environments where plants remain grouped during watering and crop management.
Its grey finish provides a neutral appearance suitable for production areas, plant distribution and garden centre presentation. The 18-pot configuration also provides a convenient counting unit for nurseries managing large quantities of smaller container-grown plants.
Manufactured by Aeroplas in the West Midlands, the tray forms part of a specialist UK horticultural plastics range developed for professional growers, nurseries and plant retailers.
A full pallet contains 900 trays.

UK manufactured by Aeroplas
Aeroplas is a West Midlands-based UK manufacturer specialising in plastic products for professional horticulture. Its range includes nursery pots, plant carry trays and other products developed around the practical requirements of commercial plant production and distribution.
Carry trays play an important role in nursery logistics by allowing individual plant containers to be grouped into consistent handling units.
For growers producing substantial quantities of plants in 9cm pots, using a compatible carry tray can simplify routine movements between potting areas, growing spaces, holding areas and dispatch.
The Aeroplas 18-pot format provides a straightforward way to maintain organised groups of plants throughout these processes.
18 individual positions for 9cm round nursery pots
The tray features 18 moulded pot positions designed to accommodate compatible 9cm round nursery containers.
Each position provides a defined location for an individual pot, helping prevent containers from moving freely around the tray during normal handling.
This is particularly useful when transporting young plants and smaller nursery crops, where keeping containers organised can help reduce unnecessary movement and contact between neighbouring plants.
The 18-pot configuration also makes crop counting straightforward. A completely filled tray represents 18 plants, providing a consistent quantity for nursery stock management and wholesale order preparation.
Compatibility should always be checked with the specific pot being used. Nominally 9cm pots can differ in rim diameter, taper and base profile between manufacturers.
Efficient handling throughout nursery production
Commercial nursery crops are frequently moved during their production cycle. Plants may be transferred from potting areas into growing spaces, repositioned during development, graded before sale and assembled into customer orders.
The Aeroplas Pot Carry Tray allows 18 compatible 9cm containers to be handled as one organised group rather than repeatedly moving individual pots.
This can make routine nursery operations more manageable, particularly when staff are working with large quantities of smaller plants.
Separate trays can also help maintain crop identification. Different cultivars, colours or production batches can be allocated to individual trays, reducing the likelihood of plants becoming mixed during handling.
For wholesale growers, maintaining plants in consistent tray groups can also simplify order assembly and dispatch preparation.
Open drainage design for nursery irrigation
The moulded pot positions incorporate openings that allow water draining from compatible nursery pots to pass through the carry tray.
This makes the tray suitable for production environments where plants may remain grouped during routine irrigation.
Rather than retaining water around the base of each container, the open design allows drainage water to move towards the underlying growing surface or irrigation collection system.
The Aeroplas Pot Carry Tray is not a watertight irrigation tray. Where water needs to be collected or contained, use a suitable collection surface or irrigation system beneath the tray.
As with any container-grown crop, irrigation should be managed according to the growing medium, plant requirements and environmental conditions.
Suitable for nursery production, wholesale & retail
The Aeroplas 18 Pot Carry Tray can support several stages of professional plant production and distribution.
| Commercial nurseries | Group 18 compatible 9cm potted plants into a consistent handling unit. |
|---|---|
| Plant production | Keep crops organised while moving between potting, growing and holding areas. |
| Crop management | Separate varieties, colours and production batches into defined tray groups. |
| Irrigation | Openings beneath the pot positions allow drainage water to pass through the tray. |
| Wholesale order picking | Use consistent 18-pot quantities when assembling and checking customer orders. |
| Plant distribution | Maintain organised groups of compatible pots during preparation for onward transport. |
| Garden centres | Keep compatible nursery plants grouped together for retail presentation and replenishment. |
Suitable for a wide range of 9cm nursery crops
The 9cm nursery pot format is commonly used for plants that have progressed beyond initial propagation but do not yet require larger finished containers.
Depending on the crop and production programme, compatible 9cm pots may be used for:
- Young ornamental plants
- Herbs
- Bedding plants
- Compact perennials
- Rooted cuttings being grown on
- Seed-raised nursery stock
- Seasonal flowering plants
- Smaller retail-ready plants
The suitability of a 9cm container depends on the crop's root development, growth rate and intended production period.
For plants intended to remain in their production pots through to sale, a compatible carry tray can provide an organised handling format from the nursery to the retail environment.
Practical for commercial horticulture at scale
Standardising around consistent nursery pot and carry tray formats can simplify plant handling, stock management and order preparation.
With 18 positions per tray, growers can quickly calculate plant quantities and identify complete or partially filled trays during stock checks.
For example, ten fully loaded trays contain 180 plants, while 50 fully loaded trays contain 900 plants.
The rectangular 55 x 31.5cm format provides a consistent footprint for arranging compatible plants on suitable nursery benches and handling surfaces.
Where trays remain clean, undamaged and suitable for continued use, they can be retained for subsequent nursery handling operations.
A full pallet contains 900 trays, providing a substantial quantity for commercial production programmes and wholesale plant distribution.
Choosing compatible 9cm nursery pots
The tray is designed for 18 compatible 9cm round nursery pots.
However, the nominal diameter of a nursery pot does not always describe its complete external dimensions. Rim diameter, taper, base profile and overall container shape can differ between manufacturers.
For commercial production, growers should check the intended pot and tray combination before ordering large quantities.
A correctly matched pot should sit properly within the moulded support without requiring excessive force or moving freely around the position.
