The Aeroplas Euro Carry Tray 9cm Round x 18 Grey is a professional horticultural carry tray designed to hold 18 compatible 9cm round nursery pots in a secure, organised format for growing, handling, dispatch and retail presentation.

Each tray features 18 individual round pot positions, providing a defined location for every container and helping keep plants upright and organised as they move through the nursery. The moulded design supports efficient handling of an entire group of plants rather than requiring individual pots to be moved separately.

Measuring approximately 56 x 25cm, the Euro Carry Tray provides a long, narrow footprint that is practical for commercial nursery production and plant distribution. Openings beneath the individual pot positions allow irrigation and drainage water to pass through the tray.

Finished in grey, the tray provides a neutral professional appearance suitable for both production and retail environments. Manufactured by Aeroplas in the West Midlands, it forms part of a specialist UK-manufactured horticultural plastics range developed for commercial growers, nurseries, wholesalers and garden 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 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.
