The Aeroplas Pot Carry Tray 2L Round x 6 Grey is a professional horticultural carry tray designed to hold six compatible 2 litre round nursery pots. Its moulded six-position format provides a practical way to group larger container-grown plants for handling, growing, order preparation and distribution.

Measuring approximately 55 x 31.5cm, the tray features six individual pot positions arranged in two rows of three. Each position supports a compatible 2L round pot, helping keep containers organised during routine nursery operations.

The open construction allows irrigation and drainage water to pass through the tray, making it suitable for commercial growing environments where plants may remain grouped during watering and crop management.

With six pots grouped into one handling unit, the tray can simplify plant movements between growing areas, stock organisation, wholesale order preparation and dispatch. Its grey finish provides a neutral appearance suitable for both nursery and retail environments.

Manufactured by Aeroplas in the West Midlands, the tray forms part of a specialist UK horticultural plastics range developed for professional growers, nurseries, plant wholesalers and garden retailers.

A full pallet contains 1,200 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 related products developed around the practical requirements of commercial plant production and distribution.

Carry trays provide growers with a straightforward way to convert individual plant containers into consistent handling units. This can simplify repeated crop movements, plant organisation, picking and dispatch across a busy nursery.

For crops produced in compatible 2L round pots, this six-position tray provides a dedicated format capable of supporting plants through multiple stages of the professional horticultural supply chain.

Six positions for compatible 2L round pots

The Aeroplas tray features six moulded positions designed for compatible 2 litre round nursery pots.

The positions are arranged in two rows of three, allowing six individual containers to be organised within a single tray. Each pot sits within a defined support area rather than standing loose on a flat surface.

This provides a useful handling format for established nursery plants where individual containers are larger and heavier than smaller propagation and bedding plant pots.

A full tray also provides a known quantity of six plants, making stock counting and order preparation straightforward.

Pot compatibility should be checked before use. Nursery pots described as 2L can vary in diameter, taper and overall profile between manufacturers.

Efficient handling for larger nursery plants

As container size increases, moving plants individually can become increasingly time-consuming. Grouping six compatible 2L pots within a dedicated carry tray creates a convenient unit for routine nursery handling.

Plants can remain grouped as they move between potting areas, growing spaces, holding areas and order preparation zones.

Trays can also help separate different cultivars, colours or production batches. This is particularly useful where similar-looking plants need to remain correctly identified throughout production.

During wholesale picking, the six-pot configuration provides an easy quantity to count and check before plants move into dispatch.

Open design for irrigation & drainage

The tray incorporates openings beneath the individual pot positions, allowing water draining from compatible nursery pots to pass through.

This allows plants to remain grouped during suitable nursery irrigation without creating a sealed reservoir beneath the containers.

The tray is therefore intended primarily as a plant handling and transport tray rather than a watertight irrigation tray.

Where irrigation run-off needs to be collected, position the carry tray over an appropriate nursery bench, collection surface or drainage system.

Suitable for commercial growing, wholesale & retail

Commercial nurseries Group six compatible 2L 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 Openings beneath the pot positions allow drainage water to pass through.
Wholesale picking Six-pot groups provide a convenient known quantity for suitable customer orders.
Plant distribution Maintain organised groups of compatible plants during preparation for transport.
Garden centres Useful for receiving, handling and presenting suitable 2L nursery plants.

Designed for commercial horticulture at scale

Standardising around compatible pots and carry trays can make nursery handling more predictable, particularly where large quantities of the same container format are being used.

With six positions per tray, plant quantities can be calculated quickly during stock checks and order preparation. Ten fully loaded trays contain 60 plants, while 50 fully loaded trays contain 300 plants.

The consistent 55 x 31.5cm footprint also provides a predictable format when organising compatible plants within growing and dispatch areas.

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

A full pallet contains 1,200 trays, making this format suitable for substantial commercial growing and plant distribution programmes.

Choosing compatible 2L round nursery pots

This carry tray is designed for compatible 2 litre round nursery pots, but nominal capacity alone does not guarantee an exact fit.

Different manufacturers can use different rim diameters, base dimensions and pot tapers while still describing their container as 2L.

For commercial production, check the intended pot against the tray before ordering substantial quantities.

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