Efficient handling for 18 x 9cm low pots

Shuttle trays provide a practical way to organise individual nursery pots during production and distribution. Instead of moving 18 pots separately, the Modiform 1731 allows a complete group of compatible 9cm low pots to be handled together.

This is particularly useful in commercial nurseries where plants may pass through several stages before reaching the customer. Trays can help keep batches organised while plants move between growing areas, grading, order assembly, dispatch and onward distribution.

Commercial growers Groups 18 compatible 9cm low pots into one practical handling unit.
Nurseries Useful for moving plant batches between production areas, grading and order preparation.
Plant wholesalers Provides an organised format for moving smaller container-grown plants through distribution.
Dispatch operations Helps keep individual pots grouped during order assembly and transport preparation.
Garden centres Convenient for receiving and handling batches of compatible 9cm plants.

What is a Modiform shuttle tray?

A shuttle tray is designed to carry individual pots within dedicated formed positions. Unlike a multi-cell growing tray where plants are produced directly within the tray itself, the Modiform 1731 is intended to hold separate compatible pots.

This means individual plants remain in their own containers while the shuttle tray provides a convenient way to organise and move them as a batch. It is particularly useful where individual pots need to remain removable for grading, selection, merchandising or sale.

Designed for compatible 9cm low pots

The Modiform 1731 is specifically identified for 18 x 9cm low pots. Using the correct shuttle tray is important because nominal pot diameter alone does not guarantee compatibility between different container profiles.

The exact shape and dimensions of a pot can affect how it sits within the tray. Where the 1731 is being purchased to match an existing pot range, checking the relevant Modiform pot and tray references is recommended.

PRISTINE recycled PS construction

This version of the Modiform 1731 is supplied in the manufacturer's PRISTINE material specification. It is manufactured from 100% recycled polystyrene without dye additives.

The thermoformed construction creates defined positions for each individual pot while keeping the overall tray lightweight for repeated handling throughout professional horticultural operations.

Modiform's use of recycled material within its horticultural packaging range helps reduce reliance on virgin raw materials while maintaining practical formats for commercial plant production and logistics.
