The Aeroplas Square/Round Pot Carry Tray 1L x 10 Grey is a professional horticultural transport tray designed to accommodate ten compatible 1L nursery pots. Its moulded ten-position layout provides a practical solution for grouping, handling and transporting container-grown plants throughout nursery production, wholesale distribution and retail presentation.
Measuring approximately 55 x 25.5cm, the tray features ten individual pot positions arranged in two rows of five. The shaped supports are designed to accommodate suitable square or round pot profiles, offering flexibility for growers working with different 1L nursery container formats.
Each position incorporates openings through the base, allowing irrigation and drainage water to pass through the tray. This makes it particularly useful in commercial growing environments where plants may remain grouped during watering and routine crop management.
By organising ten compatible pots into one handling unit, the tray helps simplify plant movements, stock counting, order assembly and dispatch. Its grey finish provides a neutral appearance suitable for nursery production and garden centre presentation.
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 1,050 trays.

UK manufactured by Aeroplas
Aeroplas is a West Midlands-based UK manufacturer specialising in plastic products for the professional horticultural industry. Its product range includes nursery pots, plant carry trays and related handling products designed around the requirements of commercial plant production and distribution.
Carry trays are an important part of an efficient nursery operation. By grouping individual containers into consistent handling units, growers can simplify crop movement, stock management, order preparation and dispatch.
The Square/Round Carry Tray provides a practical option for nurseries using compatible 1L pots, particularly where plants need to remain organised as they move between different stages of production.
Aeroplas also operates within a horticultural industry increasingly focused on responsible material use and the collection and recycling of horticultural plastics. The suitability of individual products for recycling depends on their material composition and the facilities available.
Designed for compatible square & round 1L pots
The distinguishing feature of this Aeroplas carry tray is its square/round pot support format.
Conventional carry trays are often designed around one specific pot shape. This tray uses moulded positions intended to accommodate suitable square or round 1L nursery containers, providing additional flexibility when selecting a pot and tray combination.
Each of the ten positions is individually formed, helping to keep compatible containers organised and separated during normal handling.
This can be useful for nurseries producing several plant ranges, particularly where different crops are grown in different container styles.
However, nominal capacity alone does not guarantee compatibility. Two pots described as 1L may have different external dimensions, rim profiles, base shapes and degrees of taper.
For commercial production, the specific pot should therefore be checked against the tray before purchasing substantial quantities.
Ten plants in one convenient handling unit
Commercial nursery production involves repeated plant movements. Containers may need to be transferred from potting areas into growing spaces, repositioned during crop development, graded before sale and assembled into customer orders.
The Aeroplas Square/Round Carry Tray allows ten compatible 1L pots to be managed as one organised group.
Rather than repeatedly moving individual containers, staff can handle complete trays where the plant size and working conditions permit.
The ten-pot configuration also makes stock counting straightforward. A completely filled tray represents ten plants, simplifying calculations during stock checks, picking and dispatch.
For example:
- 5 full trays: 50 plants
- 10 full trays: 100 plants
- 25 full trays: 250 plants
- 50 full trays: 500 plants
This predictable format can be particularly useful for wholesale growers supplying large quantities of plants in standard container sizes.
Open drainage design for nursery irrigation
The tray features openings through the base of its individual pot positions. These allow excess irrigation water draining from compatible nursery pots to pass through rather than being retained around the containers.
This is useful in production environments where plants remain grouped in their carry trays during watering.
The moulded base also provides defined support areas for the pots, helping maintain an organised layout on suitable nursery benches and growing surfaces.
The Aeroplas Square/Round Carry Tray is not a watertight irrigation tray. It should not be used where a sealed reservoir or water collection container is required.
Where drainage water needs to be collected, the tray should be positioned over a suitable bench, irrigation collection system or separate water-retaining surface.
Ideal for nursery production, wholesale & retail
The Aeroplas 1L Square/Round Carry Tray can support several stages of the professional horticultural supply chain.
| Commercial nurseries | Group ten compatible 1L potted plants into a consistent handling unit. |
|---|---|
| Plant production | Organise crops during movement between potting, growing and holding areas. |
| Crop management | Keep individual cultivars, colours or production batches grouped together. |
| Irrigation areas | Openings beneath the pot positions allow drainage water to pass through the tray. |
| Wholesale order picking | Ten-pot groups provide a convenient counting format when assembling customer orders. |
| Dispatch | Maintain organised groups of compatible plants during preparation for onward transport. |
| Garden centres | Keep compatible nursery plants arranged together for suitable retail presentation and replenishment. |
Suitable for a wide range of 1L nursery crops
The 1L pot format is widely used in horticulture for plants that have progressed beyond initial propagation but do not require larger finished containers.
Depending on the crop and production programme, compatible 1L pots may be used for:
- Young ornamental plants
- Herbs
- Compact perennials
- Seasonal flowering plants
- Rooted cuttings being grown on
- Seed-raised nursery stock
- Small shrubs
- Retail-ready container plants
The correct pot size depends on the individual crop, its root development, growth rate and intended production period.
For plants being sold in their production containers, the carry tray can provide a practical way to maintain organised batches through to the retail stage.
Designed for commercial horticulture at scale
Standardising nursery pots and carry trays can make production operations more predictable. When crops are grown in compatible 1L containers and grouped into ten-pot trays, growers gain a consistent handling and counting unit.
This can simplify stock checks, plant movements, order picking and dispatch preparation.
The rectangular 55 x 25.5cm format is also convenient for organising plants on suitable growing benches and during preparation for transport.
Where trays remain clean, undamaged and suitable for continued use, they can be retained for subsequent nursery handling operations.
With 1,050 trays per full pallet, the Aeroplas Square/Round Carry Tray is suitable for substantial commercial production and wholesale plant distribution programmes.

Aeroplas Square/Round Pot Carry Tray 1L x 10 FAQs
What size pots is this tray designed for?
It is designed for compatible 1L square or round nursery pots. The exact pot profile should be checked before use. What are the dimensions of the tray?
The tray measures approximately 55cm x 25.5cm. Can the same tray hold square and round pots?
The tray is designed around compatible square and round pot profiles. However, not every 1L container will necessarily fit, so compatibility should be checked with the specific pot being used. Will any manufacturer's 1L nursery pot fit?
Not necessarily. Pots with the same nominal capacity can differ in rim dimensions, taper, base shape and overall profile. Check the intended pot against the tray before ordering large quantities. Does the tray have drainage openings?
Yes. Openings beneath the individual pot positions allow irrigation and drainage water to pass through the tray. Is the Aeroplas Square/Round Carry Tray watertight?
No. It is an open carry tray designed for plant handling rather than a sealed irrigation reservoir or water collection tray. Can plants remain in the tray while being watered?
Yes, where appropriate for the crop and irrigation system. Water draining from compatible pots can pass through the openings in the tray. Can the tray be used for commercial nursery production?
Yes. It is suitable for grouping and handling compatible 1L nursery pots during production, crop movement, order preparation and dispatch. Is the tray suitable for garden centre presentation?
Yes. The ten-pot layout provides an organised format for displaying compatible nursery plants in suitable retail environments. Can the carry tray be reused?
Where the tray remains clean, undamaged and suitable for the intended application, it can be retained and reused within nursery handling operations. Is the Aeroplas Square/Round Carry Tray manufactured in the UK?
Yes. Aeroplas is a West Midlands-based UK manufacturer specialising in horticultural plastic products. How many Aeroplas 1L Square/Round Carry Trays are supplied per pallet?

The Aeroplas Pot Carry Tray 9cm Round x 20 Grey is a professional horticultural transport tray designed to hold 20 compatible 9cm round nursery pots. Its moulded 20-position design provides an efficient way to organise, handle and transport smaller container-grown plants throughout nursery production, wholesale distribution and retail presentation.
Measuring 55 x 31.5cm, the tray provides a practical rectangular footprint for commercial growing operations. Each of the 20 individual positions supports a compatible round nursery pot, helping keep plants upright, separated and organised during routine handling.
The high-density layout is particularly useful for nurseries producing large quantities of bedding plants, herbs, young ornamentals and other crops commonly grown in 9cm containers. Rather than repeatedly moving individual pots, growers can handle complete groups of 20 plants.
The tray incorporates openings beneath the pot positions, allowing irrigation and drainage water to pass through. Its grey finish provides a neutral appearance suitable for both production and retail environments.
Manufactured by Aeroplas in the West Midlands, this carry tray forms part of a specialist UK horticultural plastics range developed for professional growers, nurseries, plant wholesalers and garden retailers.
A full pallet contains 1,200 trays, providing a total carrying capacity of 24,000 compatible 9cm pots when fully loaded.
Why choose the Aeroplas 9cm Round x 20 Carry Tray?
- 20 individual pot positions - designed to accommodate 20 compatible 9cm round nursery pots.

UK manufactured by Aeroplas
Aeroplas is a West Midlands-based UK manufacturer specialising in plastic products for the professional horticultural industry. 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 efficient nursery operations. By grouping individual containers into consistent handling units, growers can simplify crop movements, plant counting, order preparation and dispatch.
The Aeroplas 20-pot carry tray is particularly useful for nurseries producing large quantities of smaller plants, where efficient use of growing and handling space is an important consideration.
Its UK manufacturing provenance also makes it relevant to businesses looking to source horticultural handling products from established domestic manufacturers.
20 individual positions for 9cm round nursery pots
The Aeroplas carry tray contains 20 moulded circular pot positions designed for compatible 9cm round nursery containers.
Each position provides a defined location for an individual pot, helping maintain separation between containers and keeping plants organised during normal nursery handling.
This is particularly useful for crops being produced in large quantities. Rather than arranging individual pots repeatedly, growers can work with consistent groups of 20 plants.
The tray's compact arrangement also makes it convenient for managing different cultivars, colours or production batches. Separate trays can be allocated to individual crop groups, helping maintain identification throughout production.
Although designed for 9cm round pots, compatibility should be checked with the specific container being used. Nominally identical pot sizes can differ in rim diameter, taper and base profile.
Efficient handling for high-volume nursery production
Commercial nurseries frequently move plants between potting areas, growing spaces, irrigation zones, grading stations and dispatch areas.
Handling individual pots repeatedly can be time-consuming, particularly when hundreds or thousands of plants are involved.
The Aeroplas 20-pot carry tray allows compatible containers to be grouped into one organised handling unit. This can reduce the number of individual handling operations required when moving suitable crops.
Its moulded structure also helps keep pots separated and positioned within the tray, reducing unnecessary movement during normal handling.
For nurseries supplying plant wholesalers and garden centres, the same tray format can be used during order preparation and dispatch, helping maintain consistent plant groupings throughout the distribution process.
Simple plant counting & order preparation
The 20-pot configuration provides a convenient counting unit for commercial nursery stock management.
When fully loaded, each tray contains 20 compatible plants. This makes it straightforward to calculate plant quantities when moving stock, assembling orders or preparing dispatch paperwork.
For example:
- 5 full trays: 100 plants
- 10 full trays: 200 plants
- 25 full trays: 500 plants
- 50 full trays: 1,000 plants
- 100 full trays: 2,000 plants
This predictable format is particularly useful for nurseries managing seasonal bedding programmes, herb production and other high-volume crops grown in 9cm containers.
Using consistent tray quantities can also simplify stock checks and help identify incomplete trays before customer orders are dispatched.
Open drainage design for nursery irrigation
The tray incorporates openings beneath its individual pot positions, allowing excess irrigation water draining from compatible nursery pots to pass through.
This is useful in commercial growing environments where plants remain grouped in their carry trays during routine watering.
Rather than creating a sealed reservoir beneath each container, the open design allows drainage water to reach the underlying growing surface or irrigation collection system.
The Aeroplas Pot Carry Tray is therefore not intended to function as a watertight irrigation tray.
Where run-off needs to be collected, position the tray over an appropriate growing bench, irrigation collection system or separate water-retaining surface.
Ideal for nursery production, wholesale & retail
The Aeroplas 9cm Round x 20 Carry Tray can be incorporated into several stages of the professional horticultural supply chain.
| Commercial nurseries | Group 20 compatible 9cm potted plants into a consistent handling unit. |
|---|---|
| Bedding plant production | Useful for organising suitable seasonal bedding crops grown in 9cm containers. |
| Herb production | Provides a practical format for grouping compatible potted herbs during production and dispatch. |
| Young ornamental plants | Suitable for organising smaller container-grown ornamentals and nursery stock. |
| Crop management | Helps keep individual cultivars, colours and production batches grouped together. |
| Wholesale order picking | Consistent 20-pot groups simplify counting and assembling suitable customer orders. |
| Plant distribution | Maintains organised pot groups during preparation for onward transport. |
| Garden centres | Keeps compatible nursery plants grouped together for suitable retail presentation and replenishment. |
Choosing compatible 9cm round pots
This Aeroplas carry tray is designed for 20 compatible 9cm round nursery pots.
However, nominal pot diameter does not guarantee compatibility across every manufacturer's range.
Different 9cm pots can have variations in rim diameter, container taper, base dimensions and overall profile. These differences may affect how securely the pot sits within the moulded tray position.
For commercial production, growers should check the intended pot and tray combination before purchasing substantial quantities.
A correctly matched container should sit securely within its designated position without requiring excessive force or moving freely around the tray.
Plant size and foliage spread should also be considered when selecting a tray format, particularly for established retail crops.
Designed for commercial horticulture at scale
Standardising nursery pots and carry trays can make production operations more predictable and efficient.
When crops are grown in compatible 9cm containers and grouped into 20-pot trays, growers gain a consistent handling and counting unit for use throughout production.
This can simplify stock movements, crop organisation, order picking and dispatch preparation.
The 55 x 31.5cm footprint provides a practical rectangular format for organising groups of smaller plants on suitable nursery benches and during transport preparation.
Where trays remain clean, undamaged and suitable for continued use, they can be retained for subsequent nursery handling operations.
With 1,200 trays per full pallet, the Aeroplas 9cm Round x 20 Carry Tray provides substantial capacity for high-volume commercial growing programmes.

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.

UK manufactured by Aeroplas
Aeroplas is a West Midlands-based UK manufacturer specialising in plastic products for professional horticulture. Its range includes nursery pots, carry trays and other products designed around the day-to-day requirements of commercial plant production.
Carry trays are particularly valuable in high-volume nursery operations because they convert individual containers into predictable handling units. This can simplify crop movements, plant counting, stock organisation and order preparation.
For nurseries working with compatible 10.5cm round pots, this 15-position format provides a dedicated tray that can remain useful through several stages of production and distribution.
15 positions for 10.5cm round nursery pots
The tray provides 15 individual moulded positions for compatible 10.5cm round nursery pots.
Each pot is held within a defined position rather than standing loose on a flat surface. This keeps the group organised as plants are moved around the nursery and helps maintain consistent batches during production.
The 15-pot configuration also makes plant counting straightforward. A complete tray represents 15 plants, so ten full trays contain 150 plants and 20 full trays contain 300 plants.
This predictable quantity can be particularly useful when stock is being counted or customer orders are being assembled.
Efficient handling throughout nursery production
Plants can be moved numerous times between potting and final dispatch. They may need to be transferred into growing areas, repositioned as the crop develops, brought together for grading and then allocated to customer orders.
Grouping 15 compatible pots within an Aeroplas carry tray provides a practical alternative to repeatedly handling every container individually.
Trays can also be used to maintain separate groups of cultivars, colours or production batches. This is particularly useful where visually similar plants are being produced alongside one another.
At the dispatch stage, the known 15-pot quantity can make picking and checking wholesale plant orders easier.
Open design for irrigation & drainage
The moulded tray structure incorporates openings around the individual pot positions, allowing water draining from compatible nursery pots to pass through.
This allows plants to remain grouped during appropriate nursery irrigation without creating a sealed reservoir underneath the containers.
The Aeroplas Pot Carry Tray is therefore designed primarily as a plant handling and transport tray rather than a watertight watering tray.
Where irrigation run-off needs to be collected, the tray should be positioned over an appropriate nursery bench, drainage system or water-retaining surface.
Suitable for commercial growing, wholesale & retail
| Commercial nurseries | Group 15 compatible 10.5cm potted plants into a consistent handling unit. |
|---|---|
| Crop production | Keep plants organised while moving between potting, growing and holding areas. |
| Crop management | Separate cultivars, colours and production batches into defined tray groups. |
| Irrigation | Openings around the pot positions allow drainage water to pass through. |
| Stock checking | Each complete tray represents a known quantity of 15 plants. |
| Wholesale order picking | Use consistent 15-pot groups when preparing and checking suitable customer orders. |
| Garden centres | Useful for receiving, handling and organising compatible nursery plants. |
Ideal for smaller container-grown nursery crops
The 10.5cm nursery pot format can be used for a broad range of young and compact plants, depending on the crop and production programme.
Suitable applications for compatible pots can include:
- Bedding plants
- Herbs
- Young ornamental plants
- Compact perennials
- Rooted cuttings being grown on
- Seed-raised plants
- Seasonal flowering plants
- Smaller retail-ready nursery plants
The correct container size will depend on the individual crop, its root development, growth rate and intended production period.
Check compatibility with your 10.5cm pots
This carry tray is designed for compatible 10.5cm round nursery pots. However, nominal pot diameter does not guarantee an identical external profile between different manufacturers.
Rim diameter, base dimensions and pot taper can vary, so growers introducing a new pot and tray combination should check compatibility before ordering substantial quantities.
A correctly matched pot should sit appropriately within the moulded support without requiring excessive force or moving freely within the position.
Commercial quantities for high-volume nurseries
A full pallet contains 1,200 Aeroplas 10.5cm Round x 15 Carry Trays.
With 15 pot positions per tray, a complete pallet provides tray capacity for up to 18,000 compatible pots when every tray is fully populated.
This makes the format particularly relevant to commercial nurseries producing significant quantities of smaller container-grown plants.
Where trays remain clean, undamaged and suitable for continued use, they can be retained within the nursery for further plant handling operations.

UK manufactured by Aeroplas
Aeroplas is a West Midlands-based UK manufacturer specialising in plastic products for professional horticulture. Its range includes nursery pots, carry trays and related products developed around the practical requirements of commercial plant production and distribution.
Carry trays provide growers with a straightforward way to convert individual plant containers into consistent handling units. This can simplify repeated crop movements, plant organisation, picking and dispatch across a busy nursery.
For crops produced in compatible 2L round pots, this six-position tray provides a dedicated format capable of supporting plants through multiple stages of the professional horticultural supply chain.
Six positions for compatible 2L round pots
The Aeroplas tray features six moulded positions designed for compatible 2 litre round nursery pots.
The positions are arranged in two rows of three, allowing six individual containers to be organised within a single tray. Each pot sits within a defined support area rather than standing loose on a flat surface.
This provides a useful handling format for established nursery plants where individual containers are larger and heavier than smaller propagation and bedding plant pots.
A full tray also provides a known quantity of six plants, making stock counting and order preparation straightforward.
Pot compatibility should be checked before use. Nursery pots described as 2L can vary in diameter, taper and overall profile between manufacturers.
Efficient handling for larger nursery plants
As container size increases, moving plants individually can become increasingly time-consuming. Grouping six compatible 2L pots within a dedicated carry tray creates a convenient unit for routine nursery handling.
Plants can remain grouped as they move between potting areas, growing spaces, holding areas and order preparation zones.
Trays can also help separate different cultivars, colours or production batches. This is particularly useful where similar-looking plants need to remain correctly identified throughout production.
During wholesale picking, the six-pot configuration provides an easy quantity to count and check before plants move into dispatch.
Open design for irrigation & drainage
The tray incorporates openings beneath the individual pot positions, allowing water draining from compatible nursery pots to pass through.
This allows plants to remain grouped during suitable nursery irrigation without creating a sealed reservoir beneath the containers.
The tray is therefore intended primarily as a plant handling and transport tray rather than a watertight irrigation tray.
Where irrigation run-off needs to be collected, position the carry tray over an appropriate nursery bench, collection surface or drainage system.
Suitable for commercial growing, wholesale & retail
| Commercial nurseries | Group six compatible 2L potted plants into a consistent handling unit. |
|---|---|
| Crop production | Keep plants organised while moving between potting, growing and holding areas. |
| Crop management | Separate cultivars, colours and production batches into defined tray groups. |
| Irrigation | Openings beneath the pot positions allow drainage water to pass through. |
| Wholesale picking | Six-pot groups provide a convenient known quantity for suitable customer orders. |
| Plant distribution | Maintain organised groups of compatible plants during preparation for transport. |
| Garden centres | Useful for receiving, handling and presenting suitable 2L nursery plants. |
Designed for commercial horticulture at scale
Standardising around compatible pots and carry trays can make nursery handling more predictable, particularly where large quantities of the same container format are being used.
With six positions per tray, plant quantities can be calculated quickly during stock checks and order preparation. Ten fully loaded trays contain 60 plants, while 50 fully loaded trays contain 300 plants.
The consistent 55 x 31.5cm footprint also provides a predictable format when organising compatible plants within growing and dispatch areas.
Where trays remain clean, undamaged and suitable for continued use, they can be retained for further nursery handling operations.
A full pallet contains 1,200 trays, making this format suitable for substantial commercial growing and plant distribution programmes.
Choosing compatible 2L round nursery pots
This carry tray is designed for compatible 2 litre round nursery pots, but nominal capacity alone does not guarantee an exact fit.
Different manufacturers can use different rim diameters, base dimensions and pot tapers while still describing their container as 2L.
For commercial production, check the intended pot against the tray before ordering substantial quantities.
A correctly matched pot should sit securely within the moulded support without requiring excessive force or moving freely within the position.

UK manufactured by Aeroplas
Aeroplas is a West Midlands-based UK manufacturer specialising in plastic products for professional horticulture. Its range is designed around the day-to-day requirements of growers, nurseries, plant producers and retailers rather than being adapted from general-purpose packaging.
For UK growers, choosing locally manufactured horticultural products also supports a shorter and more resilient domestic supply chain. Aeroplas combines UK manufacturing with practical product designs developed for the repeated handling, movement and presentation of plants throughout commercial production.
This professional horticultural focus is evident in products such as the 2L Carry Tray, where pot compatibility, handling efficiency and nursery workflow are central to the design.
Move six 2 litre plants as one unit
In a commercial nursery, individual plants may be moved several times between potting, growing, grading, picking and dispatch. Repeatedly handling individual containers takes time, particularly when hundreds or thousands of plants are involved.
The Aeroplas 6-cell tray turns six compatible 2L pots into a single organised handling unit. This can make routine movement faster while helping prevent pots from spreading, tipping or becoming disorganised during transport around the nursery.
The defined pot positions also make plant quantities easier to manage. A complete tray represents six plants, providing a straightforward format for counting and grouping stock.
Suitable for square & round 2L pots
The tray is designed to accommodate compatible 2 litre square and round plant pots, giving growers flexibility across different container formats.
It is important to remember that pot capacity does not define exact external dimensions. Two pots described as 2L can differ in rim diameter, width, taper and height depending on their manufacturer and design.
When using pots outside the corresponding Aeroplas range, check their physical dimensions and fit before committing to large quantities.
Designed for commercial nursery workflows
Carry trays are a simple way of standardising plant movement throughout a nursery. Plants can be grouped after potting, moved between production areas as they develop and kept in the same organised format when they reach the picking and dispatch stages.
The six-pot layout is particularly useful for wholesale growers because staff can quickly identify complete and incomplete trays when assembling customer orders.
Reducing unnecessary individual handling can also help maintain the presentation of finished plants and pots before they reach the customer.
From production nursery to garden centre
The Aeroplas 2L Carry Tray is not limited to production. Compatible plants can remain grouped during wholesale distribution and subsequently be presented together at the point of sale.
In garden centres and plant retail environments, the moulded positions help keep pots organised rather than allowing individual containers to spread across the bench as customers browse.
Staff can also move or replenish six plants together, helping simplify display maintenance during busy trading periods.
Built around professional horticultural use
Aeroplas products are designed for the horticultural supply chain, where packaging and handling products need to work efficiently alongside commercial pots, plants and nursery systems.
Where trays remain clean and undamaged, they can be retained and used again within suitable nursery workflows rather than automatically being treated as single-use packaging.
Inspect trays between uses and remove any that have become cracked or distorted sufficiently to compromise pot support or safe handling.

Aeroplas 2L Pot Carry Tray FAQs
Where is the Aeroplas 2L Pot Carry Tray manufactured?
It is manufactured in the UK by Aeroplas, a West Midlands-based manufacturer supplying products for the professional horticultural industry. How many pots does the tray hold?
Each tray has six individual pot positions and is designed to carry six compatible 2 litre plant pots. Does it fit both square and round 2L pots?
Yes. The tray is designed for compatible square and round 2L plant pots, making it useful across different professional container formats. Will every manufacturer's 2L pot fit?
Not necessarily. Nominal pot volume does not determine exact external dimensions, so check the width, diameter and profile when using pots from a different manufacturer. Why use pot carry trays in a commercial nursery?
Carry trays allow several plants to be handled as one unit. This can improve efficiency during plant movement, grading, picking and dispatch while keeping individual pots organised. Can the tray be used for customer order picking?
Yes. The six-pot format provides a convenient handling and counting unit when plants are being picked and consolidated for wholesale or retail orders. Can plants stay in the tray during transport?
Yes, when the pots fit correctly and the complete load is suitably secured for transport. The individual cells help reduce unwanted movement between neighbouring pots. Is the tray suitable for garden centre displays?
Yes. Its neutral grey finish and organised six-pot layout make it suitable for keeping compatible container plants grouped on retail benches and displays. Does the tray interfere with pot drainage?
The tray uses an open structure rather than forming a sealed reservoir beneath each container, allowing normal drainage from compatible pots to remain accessible. Can the Aeroplas carry tray be reused?
Where a tray remains clean, structurally sound and suitable for the intended crop-handling process, it can be retained for further use within the nursery. Who is the tray designed for?
It is aimed at professional growers, nurseries, plant wholesalers, landscapers and garden centres that need an efficient way to handle groups of 2L container plants. How many Aeroplas 2L Carry Trays are supplied on a pallet?
A full pallet contains 1,050 trays, making it suitable for high-volume commercial plant production and distribution.

UK manufactured by Aeroplas
Aeroplas is a West Midlands-based UK manufacturer producing plastic products specifically for the professional horticultural industry. Its range includes nursery pots, carry trays and related products designed around the day-to-day requirements of commercial plant production and retail.
Carry trays are an important part of that system. A suitable tray allows compatible pots to be organised into consistent groups, making plants easier to handle as they move through different stages of production and distribution.
UK manufacture also provides professional growers and horticultural businesses with a domestically produced option when specifying trays and containers for larger production programmes.
Designed for efficient plant handling
Handling individual plant pots repeatedly can become a significant task in a commercial nursery. Plants may need to move between propagation and growing areas, be repositioned for spacing, assembled into customer orders and finally transferred through dispatch and delivery.
The Aeroplas AC Carry Tray allows compatible pots to be managed together as a group. This provides a more organised unit for routine plant movement and can simplify the process of keeping batches and varieties together.
Carry trays can also help maintain a more consistent layout when plants are being staged for dispatch or presented at retail. Rather than arranging loose pots individually every time they are moved, the tray provides a defined format that can remain with the plants through several handling stages.
Moulded sections & open drainage design
The AC Carry Tray features a moulded base with defined sections for compatible plant pots. Raised structural areas separate the sections and help provide support across the tray.
Multiple openings are incorporated throughout the base. These allow irrigation and drainage water from the pots to pass through the carry tray rather than collecting around the containers.
This is particularly useful in nursery environments where plants may remain in their carry trays while being irrigated. The AC Carry Tray should therefore be treated as an open transport and handling tray rather than a watertight irrigation tray.
Where run-off needs to be collected, the carry tray should be positioned on a suitable bench, irrigation system or separate collection surface.
From nursery production to garden centre
The Aeroplas AC Carry Tray can support several stages of the commercial plant supply chain.
| Nursery production | Group compatible potted crops into manageable units for routine handling and movement around the nursery. |
|---|---|
| Crop organisation | Keep compatible plants, cultivars or production batches together as they move through the growing area. |
| Irrigation areas | The open base allows drainage water to pass through when compatible potted plants are irrigated. |
| Order preparation | Use trays to organise suitable plants while customer and wholesale orders are being assembled. |
| Dispatch | Provides a consistent handling unit for compatible pots during preparation for onward transport. |
| Retail presentation | Suitable for keeping compatible nursery plants grouped together within garden centre and plant retail environments. |
Choosing compatible pots
Carry tray compatibility depends on more than the nominal litre capacity of a plant pot. The external diameter, base profile, taper and overall shape of the container all influence how securely it sits within a moulded tray.
For that reason, pot compatibility should be checked against the specific container being used rather than assuming that every pot of a similar stated volume will fit the AC Carry Tray.
This is particularly important for commercial growers standardising a production system across substantial quantities of pots and trays. Confirming the correct pot and carry tray combination before a large production run helps ensure consistent handling throughout the crop.
Built for commercial horticultural workflows
Standardised carry trays can provide benefits throughout a professional nursery. Using a consistent handling format can make crop movements more predictable, simplify order assembly and provide a practical unit for staff working across growing, picking and dispatch operations.
The 53.5 x 42cm AC Carry Tray is intended for these professional applications, providing a repeatable format that can be incorporated into nursery handling systems where compatible pots are being used.
For growers purchasing at scale, a full pallet contains 880 trays, providing stock for substantial nursery production and plant distribution programmes.

Aeroplas AC Carry Tray Grey FAQs
What is the Aeroplas AC Carry Tray used for?
It is designed for grouping and handling compatible potted plants in professional nurseries, growing operations, wholesale distribution and plant retail environments. What size is the Aeroplas AC Carry Tray?
The tray measures approximately 53.5 x 42cm. Is the AC Carry Tray watertight?
No. The tray has multiple openings through its base, allowing irrigation and drainage water to pass through. It should not be used where a watertight collection tray is required. Can plants be watered while they are in the carry tray?
Yes, where appropriate for the crop and growing system. The open base allows drainage water from compatible pots to pass through the tray rather than being retained around the containers. Which pots fit the Aeroplas AC Carry Tray?

Yes. The AC Carry Tray is designed for professional horticultural applications and can help organise compatible potted crops during production, handling, order preparation and dispatch. Is the tray suitable for garden centre presentation?
Yes. Plants can remain grouped in the tray for appropriate retail applications, providing an organised format for displaying and handling compatible nursery pots. Why use carry trays instead of moving pots individually?

Aeroplas is a West Midlands-based UK manufacturer specialising in plastic products for professional horticulture. Its range includes nursery pots, pot carry trays and related products designed around the practical requirements of commercial plant production and retail.
Carry trays play an important role in modern nursery handling systems. Once individual pots are grouped into a compatible tray, plants can remain organised as they progress through growing areas, picking, dispatch and onward distribution.
The Euro Carry Tray is designed around this commercial workflow, providing a consistent 18-pot format for growers using compatible 9cm round nursery pots.
18 individual positions for 9cm round pots
The tray contains 18 moulded round positions designed for compatible 9cm nursery pots. Each plant therefore has a defined location within the tray rather than standing loose on a flat surface.
This arrangement helps keep pots separated and organised during normal nursery handling. It can also make crop counting straightforward, as a completely filled tray represents 18 plants.
For larger production runs, working in consistent tray quantities can simplify crop organisation, stock movements and order preparation. Growers can quickly identify complete and partially filled trays rather than repeatedly counting individual pots.
Although designed around a 9cm round pot format, compatibility should always be confirmed with the specific pot being used. Pot profiles and external dimensions can vary between manufacturers even when they share the same nominal size.
Efficient handling throughout the nursery
Commercial plant production involves repeated movement. Crops may be transferred between potting areas, growing spaces, irrigation zones and holding areas before being picked and dispatched to customers.
Using a carry tray allows multiple pots to be treated as one organised handling unit. With 18 compatible pots loaded, the Aeroplas Euro Carry Tray can reduce the need to position and move each container separately.
The defined pot positions also help maintain crop organisation. Different cultivars, colours or production batches can be allocated to separate trays, making it easier to keep plants together as they progress through the nursery.
For wholesale production, the same format can continue into order assembly and dispatch, creating a consistent handling system from the growing area through to the customer.
Open design for irrigation & drainage
The moulded pot positions incorporate openings through the base of the carry tray. These allow excess irrigation water draining from compatible nursery pots to pass through rather than being retained around the containers.
This makes the tray suitable for nursery growing environments where plants may remain grouped during irrigation.
The Euro Carry Tray is not a watertight irrigation tray. Where drainage water needs to be collected or contained, the carry tray should be used over a suitable bench, irrigation system or separate collection surface.
Ideal for nursery production, dispatch & retail
| Nursery production | Organise up to 18 compatible 9cm potted plants into a consistent production unit. |
|---|---|
| Crop handling | Move groups of compatible plants between growing and working areas more efficiently. |
| Crop organisation | Keep varieties, colours or production batches grouped together throughout the nursery. |
| Irrigation | Openings beneath the pot positions allow drainage water to pass through the carry tray. |
| Order preparation | Use consistent 18-pot groups when assembling suitable wholesale or retail plant orders. |
| Dispatch | Provides an organised handling format for compatible pots during preparation for onward distribution. |
| Retail presentation | Can keep compatible plants neatly grouped for appropriate garden centre and plant retail displays. |
Designed for commercial growing at scale
Standardising pot and carry tray formats can make day-to-day nursery operations easier to manage. When a crop is produced in compatible 9cm pots and grouped into 18-pot trays, growers gain a predictable handling unit for moving and counting stock.
This can be particularly useful for high-volume crops such as herbs, bedding plants, young ornamentals and other plants commonly produced in smaller nursery containers.
The tray format can also support picking and dispatch workflows. Full trays represent a known quantity of 18 plants, while partially filled trays can be identified quickly during order assembly.
With 1,400 trays per full pallet, the Aeroplas Euro Carry Tray is suitable for substantial commercial growing programmes and wholesale plant production.
Checking pot compatibility
This Euro Carry Tray is designed for 18 compatible 9cm round pots. However, nominal pot size alone does not guarantee compatibility.
The external diameter, taper, rim and base profile of nursery pots can differ between product ranges. For commercial production, the specific pot and tray combination should therefore be checked before committing to large quantities.
Using a correctly matched pot helps the tray provide the intended level of support and ensures plants remain properly positioned during normal nursery handling.

Aeroplas Euro Carry Tray 9cm Round x 18 FAQs
How many pots does the Aeroplas Euro Carry Tray hold?
The tray contains 18 individual pot positions for compatible 9cm round nursery pots. What size pots is this tray designed for?
It is designed for compatible 9cm round nursery pots. Because pot profiles can vary between manufacturers, compatibility should be checked with the specific pot being used. What size is the tray?
The Aeroplas Euro Carry Tray measures approximately 56cm x 25cm. Does the tray have drainage openings?
Yes. The moulded pot positions have openings that allow irrigation and drainage water from compatible pots to pass through the tray. Is the Euro Carry Tray watertight?
No. This is an open carry tray rather than a water-retaining irrigation tray. Use a suitable collection surface underneath where run-off needs to be contained. Can plants remain in the tray while being watered?
Yes, where appropriate for the crop and irrigation system. Water draining from the individual pots can pass through the openings in the tray. Is the tray useful for counting nursery stock?
Yes. A completely filled tray contains 18 plants, providing growers with a convenient known quantity when organising, counting and moving compatible crops. Can the tray be used for retail plant displays?
Yes. The individual pot positions can keep compatible plants organised for appropriate garden centre and plant retail presentation as well as nursery production. Is the Aeroplas Euro Carry Tray made in the UK?
Yes. Aeroplas is a West Midlands-based UK manufacturer specialising in products for professional horticulture. What colour is this Euro Carry Tray?
This version is supplied in grey. Can I use any manufacturer's 9cm pot in this tray?
Not necessarily. Pots described as 9cm can differ in rim diameter, taper and overall profile. Check compatibility with the specific pot before purchasing trays for a large production programme. How many Aeroplas Euro Carry Trays are supplied on a pallet?
A full pallet contains 1,400 trays.

The Aeroplas Euro Carry Tray 13cm Round x 8 Grey is a professional horticultural transport tray designed to hold eight compatible 13cm round nursery pots. Its moulded eight-position design provides a practical way to organise, handle and transport potted plants throughout commercial nursery production, wholesale distribution and retail presentation.
Measuring 56 x 25cm, the tray provides a standardised rectangular footprint for grouping plants into manageable handling units. Each of the eight moulded positions supports an individual compatible pot, helping maintain an organised arrangement during normal nursery operations.
Rather than repeatedly moving individual containers, growers can handle eight compatible potted plants together. This is particularly useful when crops are transferred between growing areas, assembled into customer orders or prepared for dispatch.
The tray features openings beneath the pot positions, allowing irrigation and drainage water to pass through. Its grey finish provides a neutral appearance suitable for both nursery production and garden centre presentation.
Manufactured by Aeroplas in the West Midlands, the Euro Carry Tray forms part of a specialist UK horticultural plastics range developed around the practical requirements of professional growers and plant retailers.
A full pallet contains 1,400 trays.

UK manufactured by Aeroplas
Aeroplas is a West Midlands-based UK manufacturer specialising in plastic products for the professional horticultural industry. Its range includes nursery pots, plant carry trays and other products developed around the requirements of commercial plant production and distribution.
Carry trays are an important part of an efficient nursery operation. By grouping compatible containers into consistent handling units, growers can simplify crop movement, plant counting, order preparation and dispatch.
The Euro Carry Tray range is designed around these practical requirements, providing standardised formats for commonly used nursery pot sizes.
Manufacturing in the UK also gives British horticultural businesses access to domestically produced handling products when specifying equipment for ongoing nursery production programmes.
Eight individual positions for 13cm round pots
The Aeroplas Euro Carry Tray features eight moulded circular pot positions designed to accommodate compatible 13cm round nursery pots.
Each pot sits within its own defined position, helping maintain separation between containers and reducing unwanted movement during normal handling.
This is particularly useful for plants with established foliage, where keeping containers organised can help reduce unnecessary contact between neighbouring plants as they are moved.
The eight-pot configuration also provides a straightforward counting system. A completely filled tray represents eight plants, making it easier to calculate stock quantities and prepare customer orders.
For example, ten fully loaded trays contain 80 plants, while 25 trays contain 200 plants.
Pot compatibility should be checked before use, as the external dimensions and profiles of nominally 13cm pots can vary between manufacturers.
Efficient Danish trolley loading
The Aeroplas 13cm Euro Carry Tray uses a 56 x 25cm format designed for efficient handling and transport within professional horticultural distribution systems.
The Euro Carry Tray specification provides for five trays per standard Danish trolley shelf.
With eight compatible pots in each tray, this provides a potential loading capacity of 40 plants per shelf.
This standardised arrangement is useful for growers and wholesalers planning plant movements, trolley loading and customer deliveries.
Actual loading arrangements should always account for plant height, foliage spread, shelf configuration and the safe loading limits of the trolley.
| Pots per tray | 8 |
|---|---|
| Trays per Danish shelf | 5 |
| Pot capacity per shelf | 40 compatible pots |
| Tray footprint | 56 x 25cm |
Improve efficiency throughout nursery production
Commercial nurseries often move plants several times during their production cycle. Crops may be transferred from potting areas into growing spaces, repositioned as they develop, graded before sale and finally assembled into customer orders.
The Aeroplas Euro Carry Tray allows eight compatible 13cm pots to be handled as one organised group rather than repeatedly moving individual containers.
This can simplify routine operations while helping keep plants arranged consistently throughout the nursery.
Separate trays can also be used to organise different cultivars, colours, production batches or customer allocations.
For businesses producing large quantities of container-grown plants, standardising around a consistent pot and tray combination can make stock handling more predictable.
Open drainage design for nursery irrigation
The tray incorporates openings beneath the individual pot positions, allowing water draining from compatible nursery containers to pass through.
This is useful in production environments where plants remain grouped in their carry trays during routine irrigation.
Rather than creating a sealed reservoir beneath each pot, the open design allows excess water to escape towards the underlying growing surface or irrigation collection system.
The Euro Carry Tray is therefore not intended to function as a watertight irrigation tray.
Where irrigation run-off needs to be collected, use the tray over an appropriate bench, collection surface or nursery irrigation arrangement.
Suitable for commercial growing, dispatch & retail
The Aeroplas 13cm Euro Carry Tray can be incorporated into several stages of the professional horticultural supply chain.
| Commercial nurseries | Group eight compatible 13cm 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 or production batches into clearly defined tray groups. |
| Danish trolley loading | Five trays per shelf provide capacity for up to 40 compatible potted plants. |
| Wholesale order picking | Use consistent eight-pot quantities when assembling and checking customer orders. |
| Plant distribution | Maintain organised pot groups during preparation for onward transport. |
| Garden centres | Keep compatible nursery plants grouped together for suitable retail display and replenishment. |
Choosing the correct 13cm nursery pots
The Euro Carry Tray is designed for eight compatible 13cm round pots, but nominal pot diameter does not guarantee an exact fit across every manufacturer's range.
Differences in rim diameter, container taper, base dimensions and overall pot profile can affect how securely a pot sits within the moulded position.
For commercial production, it is sensible to check the intended pot and tray combination before ordering substantial quantities.
A correctly matched container should sit properly within the moulded support without requiring excessive force or being able to move freely around the position.
Growers should also consider plant size and canopy spread when planning tray loading, particularly for mature retail crops.
Designed for commercial horticulture at scale
Using consistent carry tray formats can simplify plant handling across growing, picking and dispatch operations.
With eight pots per tray, staff can quickly calculate quantities, identify incomplete trays and keep individual customer orders organised.
The standardised Euro footprint also supports predictable trolley loading, making it useful for growers supplying plant wholesalers, garden centres and other professional horticultural customers.
Where trays remain clean and undamaged, they can be retained for further use within suitable nursery workflows.
A full pallet contains 1,400 Aeroplas Euro Carry Trays, providing a substantial quantity for commercial production and distribution requirements.

UK manufactured by Aeroplas
Aeroplas is a West Midlands-based UK manufacturer specialising in plastic products for the professional horticultural industry. Its range includes nursery pots, carry trays and related products designed around the practical requirements of commercial plant production.
Carry trays provide growers with a straightforward way to convert individual plant pots into consistent handling units. This can make repeated crop movements, stock organisation, picking and dispatch easier to manage across a busy nursery.
The Square/Round Carry Tray range is particularly useful where growers require a tray format capable of accommodating compatible nursery pots with different container profiles.
Designed for compatible square & round 1.4L pots
The tray contains eight moulded pot positions designed for compatible 1.4L square or round nursery pots.
Each container sits within a defined support area rather than standing loose on a flat tray. This helps maintain an organised layout during normal handling and keeps plants grouped as they move through the production process.
The eight positions are arranged in two rows of four, providing a convenient format for plant counting. A completely filled tray represents eight plants, which can simplify stock checks and order preparation.
Nominal pot capacity alone does not guarantee compatibility. Different 1.4L pots can vary in rim dimensions, taper, base shape and overall profile, so growers should check the intended pot against the tray before committing to large quantities.
Efficient plant handling throughout the nursery
Plants can be moved numerous times between potting and final dispatch. They may be transferred into growing areas, repositioned as the crop develops, graded, assembled into customer orders and moved again for loading.
The Aeroplas Square/Round Carry Tray allows eight compatible 1.4L containers to be managed as one organised group rather than repeatedly handling every pot separately.
Separate trays can also help growers keep cultivars, colours or production batches together. This can be particularly useful where visually similar crops are being grown alongside one another.
For wholesale order preparation, the eight-pot configuration provides a known quantity that can make picking and checking plant numbers more straightforward.
Open base for irrigation & drainage
Openings within the individual pot positions allow water draining from compatible nursery pots to pass through the carry tray.
This allows plants to remain grouped during appropriate nursery irrigation without creating a sealed reservoir beneath each container.
The tray should therefore be regarded as a carry and handling tray rather than a watertight irrigation tray. Where run-off needs to be collected, position the tray over a suitable growing bench, irrigation collection system or separate water-retaining surface.
From nursery production to retail
| Commercial nurseries | Group eight compatible 1.4L potted plants into a consistent handling unit. |
|---|---|
| Crop production | Keep plants organised while moving between potting, growing and holding areas. |
| Crop management | Separate varieties, colours or production batches into defined tray groups. |
| Irrigation | Openings beneath the pot positions allow drainage water to pass through. |
| Order preparation | Use consistent eight-pot groups when picking and checking suitable customer orders. |
| Dispatch | Maintain organised groups of compatible plants during preparation for distribution. |
| Garden centres | Keep suitable nursery plants grouped together for retail handling and presentation. |
Designed for commercial growing at scale
Standardising around compatible nursery pots and carry trays can make plant handling more predictable throughout a commercial growing operation.
The eight-pot format provides a known quantity for stock control and order assembly, while the 55 x 25.5cm footprint creates a consistent tray size for routine handling.
Where trays remain clean, undamaged and suitable for continued use, they can be retained for further nursery handling operations.
For larger production programmes, a full pallet contains 1,050 trays. At eight pot positions per tray, this provides substantial carrying capacity for compatible 1.4L nursery crops.

The tray measures approximately 55cm x 25.5cm. Can it hold both square and round nursery pots?
The moulded positions are designed for compatible square or round 1.4L pot formats. Check the specific container profile before purchasing large quantities. Will every 1.4L pot fit this tray?
Not necessarily. Nursery pots with the same nominal volume can have different dimensions, rim profiles and tapers, so compatibility should be confirmed with the intended pot. Does the tray allow water to drain?

Measuring 55 x 31.5cm, it provides a practical way for commercial growers and nurseries to group plants for handling, crop movement, order preparation and distribution.
Eight moulded pot positions keep compatible 1L round containers organised within a single tray. This allows growers to move and manage plants in consistent groups rather than handling every pot individually.
The tray incorporates an open structure around the pot positions, allowing irrigation water to drain through rather than being retained as it would be in a solid-base watering tray.
Manufactured by Aeroplas in the West Midlands, the tray is designed for professional horticultural use and is suitable for commercial growers, nurseries, plant wholesalers and garden centres.
A full pallet contains 1,200 trays.

UK manufactured by Aeroplas
Aeroplas is a West Midlands-based manufacturer specialising in plastic products for the professional horticultural industry. Its range includes nursery pots, carry trays and other products designed around the day-to-day requirements of commercial plant production.
The 1L Round x 8 Carry Tray provides a dedicated handling format for nurseries using compatible round 1 litre pots. Standardising the pot and tray combination can help create a more consistent system for crop handling, stock organisation and dispatch.
Eight positions for 1L round nursery pots
This Aeroplas carry tray has eight individual positions for compatible 1L round nursery pots. The moulded layout supports each container separately while keeping all eight plants together as one handling unit.
This format is useful for crops that have progressed beyond smaller propagation containers and are being grown on in 1L pots for further nursery production or eventual retail sale.
A full tray also provides an easy quantity for stock management. Five complete trays represent 40 plants, ten trays represent 80 plants and 25 trays represent 200 plants.
Practical handling for commercial nurseries
Container-grown plants can pass through several areas of a nursery before reaching the customer. Pots may be moved after potting, spaced through growing areas, brought together for grading and then transferred again for picking and dispatch.
Keeping compatible pots within carry trays reduces the need to handle each container separately during these routine movements.
Individual trays can also be allocated to particular cultivars, production batches or customer orders, helping maintain organised groups as plants move through the nursery.
Open design for nursery irrigation
The tray is designed with openings around the individual pot positions so water draining from the pots can pass through.
This makes it suitable for use on appropriate nursery benches and growing surfaces where plants may remain in their carry trays during irrigation.
This is a carry tray rather than a sealed watering tray, so it should not be used where irrigation water needs to be retained or collected within the tray itself.
From growing area to dispatch
The Aeroplas 1L Round x 8 Carry Tray is suitable for a range of professional horticultural handling applications:
- Grouping compatible 1L pots after potting
- Moving crops between nursery growing areas
- Keeping individual varieties or batches together
- Organising plants during grading
- Wholesale order picking
- Customer order preparation
- Plant dispatch and distribution
- Garden centre receiving and handling
- Suitable retail plant presentation
Check compatibility with your 1L pots
Nursery pots described as 1 litre are not necessarily identical. Different manufacturers can use different top diameters, base dimensions, tapers and rim profiles while retaining the same nominal volume.
This tray should therefore be used with compatible 1L round nursery pots. Where a grower is changing pot supplier or specifying the tray for a new production line, checking the intended pot and tray combination before ordering large quantities is recommended.
Commercial quantity for high-volume production
A full pallet contains 1,200 Aeroplas 1L Round x 8 Carry Trays, making the product suitable for larger nursery production programmes and wholesale plant operations.
At eight pot positions per tray, a full pallet provides tray capacity for up to 9,600 compatible 1L pots when every tray is fully populated.
Where trays remain clean, undamaged and suitable for continued use, they can be retained within the nursery for further plant handling operations.

It has eight individual positions designed for compatible 1L round nursery pots. What size is the carry tray?

The open structure allows irrigation and drainage water to pass through the tray, making it suitable for use on appropriate commercial nursery benches and growing surfaces where plants may remain grouped during watering.
Grouping eight pots together can simplify routine crop movements, stock organisation and wholesale order preparation, while the grey finish provides a neutral professional appearance suitable for production and retail environments.
Manufactured by Aeroplas in the West Midlands, this tray forms part of a specialist UK horticultural plastics range developed for professional growers, nurseries, plant wholesalers and garden centres.
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, carry trays and associated products developed around the practical requirements of commercial plant production.
Carry trays allow individual nursery pots to be organised into consistent handling units, helping growers manage repeated crop movements, plant counting, order preparation and distribution.
For nurseries producing plants in compatible 13cm round pots, this eight-position tray provides a dedicated format that can remain useful throughout multiple stages of production and handling.
Eight positions for 13cm round nursery pots
The tray contains eight moulded positions designed for compatible 13cm round nursery pots.
Arranged in two rows of four, the individual positions help keep containers separated and organised rather than allowing pots to move freely around a flat tray.
This provides a useful handling format for established young plants, perennials, ornamentals and other crops being produced in suitable 13cm containers.
The eight-pot configuration also provides a predictable counting unit. Ten fully populated trays represent 80 plants, while 25 full trays represent 200 plants.
Efficient handling throughout nursery production
Container-grown plants can be moved several times before reaching the customer. They may be transferred from potting areas into growing spaces, repositioned during crop development, graded before sale and then brought together for customer orders.
The Aeroplas 13cm Round Pot Carry Tray allows eight compatible containers to be handled as one organised group rather than repeatedly moving every pot individually.
Individual trays can also be allocated to specific cultivars, colours or production batches, helping plants remain correctly grouped as they move through the nursery.
At the picking and dispatch stage, the known eight-pot quantity can simplify order preparation and checking.
Open design for irrigation & drainage
The tray incorporates an open structure around the individual pot positions, allowing water draining from compatible nursery pots to pass through.
This means plants can remain grouped during suitable nursery irrigation without the tray acting as a sealed reservoir underneath the pots.
The product is therefore intended primarily as a nursery carry and handling tray rather than a watertight watering tray.
Where irrigation run-off needs to be collected, position the tray over an appropriate nursery bench, drainage system or water-retaining surface.
From commercial growing to retail
| Commercial nurseries | Group eight compatible 13cm potted plants into a consistent handling unit. |
|---|---|
| Crop production | Keep plants organised while moving between potting, growing and holding areas. |
| Crop management | Separate cultivars, colours and production batches into defined tray groups. |
| Irrigation | Open tray construction allows drainage water to pass through. |
| Stock checking | Each fully populated tray represents a known quantity of eight plants. |
| Wholesale picking | Eight-pot groups provide a convenient unit for suitable customer orders. |
| Garden centres | Useful for receiving, moving and organising compatible nursery plants. |
Suitable for a wide range of nursery crops
The 13cm round nursery pot format can be used for a broad range of container-grown plants, depending on the crop, root development and production programme.
Compatible pots may be used for crops such as:
- Perennials
- Herbs
- Young ornamental plants
- Seasonal flowering plants
- Young shrubs
- Established rooted cuttings
- Seed-raised nursery stock
- Retail-ready container plants
The correct container size should always be selected according to the individual crop and the length of time it is expected to remain in the pot.
Check compatibility with your 13cm pots
This carry tray is designed for compatible 13cm round nursery pots. However, pots sharing the same nominal diameter are not necessarily identical.
Rim profiles, base diameters and container taper can differ between pot ranges and manufacturers. Growers introducing a new pot and tray combination should therefore check compatibility before purchasing substantial quantities.
A correctly matched container should sit appropriately within the moulded support without requiring excessive force or moving freely within the position.
Commercial quantities for professional growers
A full pallet contains 900 Aeroplas 13cm Round x 8 Carry Trays.
With eight pot positions per tray, a complete pallet provides tray capacity for up to 7,200 compatible 13cm pots when every tray is fully populated.
This makes the format suitable for substantial commercial nursery production programmes and wholesale plant distribution.
Where trays remain clean, undamaged and suitable for continued use, they can be retained within the nursery for further plant handling operations.

The Aeroplas Pot Carry Tray 1.5L Round x 6 Grey is a professional horticultural carry tray designed to hold six compatible 1.5 litre round nursery pots. Its moulded six-position layout provides commercial growers and nurseries with a practical way to group container-grown plants for production, handling, order preparation and distribution.
The tray features six individual pot positions arranged in two rows of three. Each position supports a compatible 1.5L round container, keeping the pots organised as one convenient handling unit.
Carry trays are particularly useful as plants progress into larger nursery containers. Grouping six pots together can reduce individual handling during routine crop movements while also providing a predictable quantity for stock control and wholesale order preparation.
The open tray construction allows irrigation and drainage water to pass through, making it suitable for use on appropriate commercial nursery benches and growing surfaces.
Manufactured by Aeroplas in the West Midlands, the tray forms part of a specialist UK horticultural plastics range developed for professional growers, nurseries, plant wholesalers and garden centres.

Carry trays allow individual nursery containers to be organised into consistent handling units. This can simplify crop movement, stock organisation, picking and dispatch across a busy commercial nursery.
For growers working with compatible 1.5L round pots, this six-position format provides a dedicated handling solution that can remain useful through several stages of production and distribution.
Six positions for 1.5L round nursery pots
The tray contains six moulded positions designed for compatible 1.5 litre round nursery pots.
Arranged in two rows of three, the individual positions keep each pot within a defined support rather than allowing containers to move freely around a flat tray.
This provides a useful format for established nursery plants being grown on in 1.5L containers and creates a manageable group for routine movement around the nursery.
A fully populated tray also provides a known quantity of six plants. Ten trays represent 60 plants, while 50 full trays represent 300 plants.
Efficient plant handling throughout production
Container-grown plants may be moved repeatedly between potting and final dispatch. Plants can be transferred into growing areas, repositioned as they develop, moved for grading and then assembled into customer orders.
Keeping six compatible 1.5L pots together within an Aeroplas carry tray provides a practical alternative to repeatedly handling every pot individually.
Separate trays can also help maintain defined groups of cultivars, colours or production batches, particularly where similar-looking crops are being produced alongside one another.
During order preparation, the six-pot configuration provides a simple quantity for picking and checking suitable wholesale orders.
Open design for irrigation & drainage
The tray has an open structure around the individual pot positions, allowing water draining from compatible nursery pots to pass through.
This allows plants to remain grouped during appropriate nursery irrigation without creating a sealed reservoir underneath the containers.
The product is therefore intended primarily as a nursery carry and handling tray rather than a watertight watering tray.
Where irrigation run-off needs to be retained or collected, position the tray over an appropriate nursery bench, drainage system or separate water-retaining surface.
From nursery production to dispatch
| Commercial nurseries | Group six compatible 1.5L potted plants into a consistent handling unit. |
|---|---|
| Crop production | Keep plants organised while moving between potting, growing and holding areas. |
| Crop management | Separate cultivars, colours and production batches into defined tray groups. |

| Wholesale picking | Six-pot groups provide a convenient quantity for suitable customer orders. |
| Garden centres | Useful for receiving, moving and organising compatible nursery plants. |
Suitable for a range of 1.5L nursery crops
The 1.5L nursery pot is a useful growing-on and finished container size for a variety of crops, depending on the individual plant and production programme.
Compatible pots may be used for crops such as:
- Perennials
- Herbs
- Young ornamental plants
- Seasonal flowering plants
- Young shrubs
- Established rooted cuttings
- Seed-raised nursery stock
- Retail-ready container plants
The correct pot volume will depend on the crop's root system, growth rate and the length of time it is expected to remain in the container.
Check compatibility with your 1.5L pots
This carry tray is designed for compatible 1.5L round nursery pots. However, nominal pot volume does not guarantee identical external dimensions between different manufacturers.
Top diameter, rim profile, base diameter and taper can vary between 1.5L pot ranges. Growers introducing a new pot and tray combination should therefore confirm compatibility before purchasing substantial quantities.
Commercial quantities for professional growers
A full pallet contains 900 Aeroplas 1.5L Round x 6 Carry Trays.
With six positions per tray, a full pallet provides tray capacity for up to 5,400 compatible 1.5L pots when every tray is fully populated.
This makes the format suitable for commercial nursery production programmes and wholesale plant distribution where consistent container and tray formats are used at scale.
Where trays remain clean, undamaged and suitable for continued use, they can be retained within the nursery for further plant handling operations.
