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.

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.
