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.

A full pallet contains 900 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, carry trays and associated products developed around the practical requirements of commercial plant production.

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.

Commercial nurseries Group six compatible 1.5L potted plants into a consistent handling unit.

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.
