Botanicare Pallet Rack Tray - 4ft x 8ft Black 6in Drain

Purpose-Built for Vertical Pallet Racking — Botanicare Pallet Rack Tray

The Botanicare Pallet Rack Tray is sized specifically to fit standard 42in W x 96in L pallet racking, letting growers stack propagation and growing space vertically instead of expanding floor footprint. Botanicare states this vertical rack approach can reduce a cultivation operation's overall footprint by up to 50% compared to single-level layouts. Each tray holds up to 16 x 10in x 20in propagation flats, and a perimeter edge trough directs runoff to a bulkhead recess for clean drainage. With a 6in drain depth and Black ABS construction, this tray is engineered for repeated use in multi-tier rack systems.

Key Features & Benefits

• Fits Standard 42in x 96in Pallet Racking: Drops directly into common warehouse-style rack shelving.
• Holds 16 x 10in x 20in Prop Flats: Maximizes usable flat capacity per rack level.
• Edge Trough Drainage: Channels runoff to a bulkhead recess for clean, contained drainage.
• 6in Drain Depth: Accommodates flood cycles without overflow risk.
• Palletizes 30 Units Per Shipping Pallet: Efficient freight footprint for multi-tray orders.

Who Should Use This

Commercial growers running or planning a vertical pallet-racking layout who want to multiply usable growing levels within the same floor footprint. Propagation-focused operations running numerous 10in x 20in flats are a particularly strong fit, given the tray's per-level flat capacity.

Compatibility

Frequently Asked Questions

What pallet racking does this tray fit?

It's sized for standard 42in W x 96in L pallet racking, the common warehouse shelving format used in many commercial cultivation facilities. Confirm your rack's exact shelf dimensions before ordering.

How many propagation flats fit on one tray?

Each tray holds up to 16 flats sized 10in x 20in. That capacity is per tray, per rack level, so a multi-tier rack multiplies your total flat count accordingly.

How does drainage work on this tray?

A perimeter edge trough channels runoff toward a bulkhead recess rather than letting it pool across the tray floor. The 6in drain depth gives it capacity to handle full flood cycles without overflow.

Is the footprint-reduction claim independently verified?

That up to 50% figure is Botanicare's own stated estimate for switching from single-level to vertical pallet-rack cultivation, not an independently verified measurement. Actual footprint savings will depend on your specific rack configuration and tier count.

When should I choose this over the standard chrome wire Rack Tray (HGC706063)?

Choose the Pallet Rack Tray when your facility uses standard pallet racking rather than chrome wire baker's-rack shelving, since each tray is sized to its specific rack type. Confirm which rack format your facility uses before ordering.
