Nursery Supplies Econo-Grip Blow-Molded Squat Pot | Trade #10 - Black - Round - 14.25in D x 14.25in H - 9.16gal (Case of 19)

Automation-Friendly Squat Pot With Molded Grip Lip, 14.25in D x 14.25in H

Automated potting lines and growers filling pots by hand both benefit from a container that's easy to pick up and set down quickly, which a smooth-rimmed pot doesn't always offer. Nursery Supplies' Econo-Grip Blow-Molded Squat Pot molds a raised lip into the rim specifically for grip, and is built to run through automated potting and handling equipment.

This Trade #10 size (14.25in D x 14.25in H, 9.16gal) offers an even diameter-to-height ratio.

Key Features & Benefits

• Molded top grip lip — gives hands and automated equipment a defined edge to grab rather than a smooth rim.
• Automation-friendly design — built to run through automated potting and handling lines.
• Domestic manufacturing — made in the USA rather than imported.
• Squat trade sizing — wider, shorter profile suited to bench crops within the Trade #10 class.

Who Should Use This Econo-Grip Squat Pot

Growers running automated potting lines, or hand-filling large volumes of pots and wanting an easier grip, fit this product's raised-lip design.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the "grip" lip actually do?

It's a raised lip molded into the pot's rim, giving both hands and automated potting equipment a defined edge to grab, rather than relying on a smooth, hard-to-grip rim. That's especially useful once the pot is filled and heavier to handle.

Is this pot compatible with automated potting lines?

Yes, it's built to be automation-friendly, which is part of why growers running mechanized potting or handling equipment choose this line over a plain economy pot. Confirm compatibility with your specific equipment before switching an entire production line over.

Is it made in the USA?

Yes, it's manufactured domestically rather than imported. That applies across the Econo-Grip line's sizes.

What's the difference between the two sizes offered here?

Both are Trade #10 squat pots but with different diameter-to-height ratios; check the listed dimensions and gallon capacity to match your bench spacing and root-zone depth preference. Neither size is strictly better; it depends on your bench layout and root-depth preference.

How does this compare to a standard Blow-Molded Custom Trade Pot?

Both are economy-tier blow-molded pots, but the Econo-Grip line adds the molded grip lip and automation-friendly design, which the standard Custom Trade Pot line doesn't specifically call out. Growers already running Custom Trade Pot equipment can typically switch to Econo-Grip without retooling.
