Wide Squat Pot with Carry Handle for Heavy Large Stock, Whiteridge

Once a container grows large enough to need two hands and real effort to lift, a smooth-sided pot with nowhere to grip becomes a genuine handling hazard, especially for wide, shallow-rooted stock that spreads rather than grows tall. The HC Companies Whiteridge Squat Nursery Pot with Handle adds a molded carry handle to the brand's wide, squat pot format specifically so the largest, heaviest containers in the line stay manageable to lift and move.

At 17.75in D x 11.75in H with a 9.72gal maximum liquid volume, this is the largest squat format in the Whiteridge line, shipping in cases of 15 for growers producing sizable wide-spreading stock.

Key Features & Benefits

• Molded carry handle — gives a secure grip point for lifting a large, heavy, soil-filled pot that a smooth rim alone can't provide.
• Wide, squat footprint — matches wide-spreading root systems better than a taller pot of the same diameter.
• 9.72gal maximum liquid volume — sized to the 17.75in D x 11.75in H footprint for large wide-format stock.
• Blow-molded for durability — built to be cleaned and reused across multiple growing cycles rather than discarded after one crop.

Who Should Use This

Growers moving the largest, heaviest wide-format stock in a production line, where lifting a full pot without a handle risks a dropped plant or strained back, are the right fit for this Whiteridge Squat with Handle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this pot have a handle when smaller Whiteridge pots don't?

At 9.72gal, this is the largest and heaviest squat container in the Whiteridge line, and a smooth rim alone isn't a secure enough grip point once a pot this size is filled with soil and root mass. The molded handle gives growers a dedicated place to lift from instead of straining to grip the rim.

What is the maximum liquid volume of this pot?

It holds up to 9.72gal at a 17.75in D x 11.75in H footprint. That's measured to the rim, not the usable headspace once soil and a plant are potted.

Why choose a squat profile over a taller pot at this volume?

The wide, squat shape suits stock with a wide-spreading, shallow root system better than a taller pot of equivalent volume would, and it also keeps the container's center of gravity lower and more stable on a bench or cart. That stability matters more as pot size and weight increase.

How many of these pots ship per case?

Cases ship at 15 units, reflecting how large and heavy each individual pot is compared with smaller-format nursery containers. Plan pallet space accordingly, since this is a bulkier case than most other pots in the Whiteridge line.
