Botanicare 2x4 Rack Tray | 45.5 x 25.5 in, Fits Wire Shelving

How a Botanicare 2x4 Rack Tray Sits on a Baker's Rack

The 45.5 in length is the whole point. It slides inside a standard 48 x 18 x 69 in chrome wire unit rather than perching on top of one. Width is 25.5 in and depth 3.5 in, which takes four 10 x 20 in flats across. Three trays and a reservoir fit one unit, and the tray itself weighs 6 lbs.

Reading It as a 2x4 Flood Tray Before You Plumb It

Plenty of growers land here searching for a 2x4 flood tray. It pays to know what this one is before the plumbing gets specified. It is a runoff tray with a bulkhead recess, not a pre-drilled flood table. The recess is a moulded flat where a bulkhead fitting goes, and that fitting is a separate part. Once it is in, the tray drains the way any ABS tray does. What the recess gets you is a low point. The trough runs along one edge and overhangs the shelf frame slightly. It pulls runoff toward that low point rather than letting it pool under the flats. Standing water on a propagation shelf is where damping off starts, so the geometry is doing real work. Material is heavy gauge ABS, the same family Botanicare uses across its trays. Three trays per unit in an 8 sq ft footprint is the density this was drawn for.

Key Features

• 45.5 x 25.5 x 3.5 in: Sized to slide inside a standard 48 x 18 x 69 in chrome wire shelving unit.
• Four 10 x 20 in flats across: Three trays fit one unit alongside a reservoir, in roughly 8 sq ft of floor.
• Trough overhangs the shelf edge: Runoff clears the frame instead of collecting on the wire below the tray.
• Bulkhead recess, fitting separate: A moulded low point for a drain. It is not a pre-drilled flood table.
• Heavy gauge ABS: The same material family Botanicare runs across its tray and reservoir line.
• 6 lbs empty: Light enough to lift down, rinse and reseat without breaking the rack down.
