Frequently Asked Questions

How does using a rack tray increase production by 300%?

A standard 5-shelf baker's rack gives you 5 levels of growing space in the same floor footprint as one level. Adding a Rack Tray to each shelf level multiplies your production area by the number of shelves — typically tripling or more compared to a single floor-level setup.

What shelving does this tray fit?

The Rack Tray is designed for standard chrome wire shelving with dimensions 48in L × 18in D × 69in H — the most common baker's rack / metro shelf size.

How does the trough reduce standing water?

The tray's edge is designed with a slight overhang trough that collects drainage runoff and directs it away from the planting surface, preventing water from pooling under propagation trays between irrigations.

How many prop flats fit per tray?

Each 2ft × 4ft Rack Tray holds four standard 10in × 20in propagation trays.

How does this differ from the Botanicare Pallet Rack Tray?

The Rack Tray (HGC707063) is designed for smaller chrome wire baker's rack shelving (48in × 18in) and holds 4 prop flats. The Pallet Rack Tray (HGC707328) is designed for full-size 42in × 96in pallet racking and holds 16 prop flats per level.
