The Aeroplas Pot Carry Tray 13cm Round x 8 Grey is a professional horticultural carry tray designed to hold eight compatible 13cm round nursery pots. Its moulded eight-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 eight individual pot positions, arranged in two rows of four. Each position supports a compatible 13cm round container, keeping plants organised within a single handling unit as they move through the nursery.

The open structure allows irrigation and drainage water to pass through the tray, making it suitable for use on appropriate commercial nursery benches and growing surfaces where plants may remain grouped during watering.

Grouping eight pots together can simplify routine crop movements, stock organisation and wholesale order preparation, while the grey finish provides a neutral professional appearance suitable for production and retail environments.

Manufactured by Aeroplas in the West Midlands, this 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 professional horticulture. Its range includes nursery pots, carry trays and associated products developed around the practical requirements of commercial plant production.

Carry trays allow individual nursery pots to be organised into consistent handling units, helping growers manage repeated crop movements, plant counting, order preparation and distribution.

For nurseries producing plants in compatible 13cm round pots, this eight-position tray provides a dedicated format that can remain useful throughout multiple stages of production and handling.

Eight positions for 13cm round nursery pots

The tray contains eight moulded positions designed for compatible 13cm round nursery pots.

Arranged in two rows of four, the individual positions help keep containers separated and organised rather than allowing pots to move freely around a flat tray.

This provides a useful handling format for established young plants, perennials, ornamentals and other crops being produced in suitable 13cm containers.

The eight-pot configuration also provides a predictable counting unit. Ten fully populated trays represent 80 plants, while 25 full trays represent 200 plants.

Efficient handling throughout nursery production

Container-grown plants can be moved several times before reaching the customer. They may be transferred from potting areas into growing spaces, repositioned during crop development, graded before sale and then brought together for customer orders.

The Aeroplas 13cm Round Pot Carry Tray allows eight compatible containers to be handled as one organised group rather than repeatedly moving every pot individually.

Individual trays can also be allocated to specific cultivars, colours or production batches, helping plants remain correctly grouped as they move through the nursery.

At the picking and dispatch stage, the known eight-pot quantity can simplify order preparation and checking.

Open design for irrigation & drainage

The tray incorporates an open structure around the individual pot positions, allowing water draining from compatible nursery pots to pass through.

This means plants can remain grouped during suitable nursery irrigation without the tray acting as a sealed reservoir underneath the pots.

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 collected, position the tray over an appropriate nursery bench, drainage system or water-retaining surface.

From commercial growing to retail

Commercial nurseries Group eight compatible 13cm potted plants into a consistent handling unit.
Crop production Keep plants organised while moving between potting, growing and holding areas.
Crop management Separate cultivars, colours and production batches into defined tray groups.
Irrigation Open tray construction allows drainage water to pass through.
Stock checking Each fully populated tray represents a known quantity of eight plants.
Wholesale picking Eight-pot groups provide a convenient unit for suitable customer orders.
Garden centres Useful for receiving, moving and organising compatible nursery plants.

Suitable for a wide range of nursery crops

The 13cm round nursery pot format can be used for a broad range of container-grown plants, depending on the crop, root development 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 container size should always be selected according to the individual crop and the length of time it is expected to remain in the pot.

Check compatibility with your 13cm pots

This carry tray is designed for compatible 13cm round nursery pots. However, pots sharing the same nominal diameter are not necessarily identical.

Rim profiles, base diameters and container taper can differ between pot ranges and manufacturers. Growers introducing a new pot and tray combination should therefore check compatibility before purchasing substantial quantities.

A correctly matched container should sit appropriately within the moulded support without requiring excessive force or moving freely within the position.

Commercial quantities for professional growers

A full pallet contains 900 Aeroplas 13cm Round x 8 Carry Trays.

With eight pot positions per tray, a complete pallet provides tray capacity for up to 7,200 compatible 13cm pots when every tray is fully populated.

This makes the format suitable for substantial commercial nursery production programmes and wholesale plant distribution.

Where trays remain clean, undamaged and suitable for continued use, they can be retained within the nursery for further plant handling operations.
