The Aeroplas Square/Round Pot Carry Tray 1.4L x 8 Grey is a professional horticultural carry tray designed to hold eight compatible 1.4L nursery pots. Its moulded square/round pot positions provide a practical format for grouping, handling and transporting container-grown plants throughout nursery production, wholesale distribution and retail.

Measuring approximately 55 x 25.5cm, the tray features eight individual positions arranged in two rows of four. The shaped supports are designed for compatible square or round 1.4L nursery pots, providing growers with a convenient handling format for established young plants and other suitable container-grown crops.

Each position incorporates openings through the base, allowing irrigation and drainage water to pass through. This makes the tray suitable for commercial growing environments where plants may remain grouped during routine watering and crop management.

By organising eight compatible pots into one handling unit, the tray can simplify crop movements, stock counting, order preparation and dispatch. The grey finish provides a neutral appearance suitable for both 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, wholesalers 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 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.
