Choosing the Right Plant Trolley: CC containers have long been the backbone of plant logistics in the EU horticulture industry. They are exchangeable across Europe via a robust pool network, making it easy to drop off a trolley at an auction and get a replacement elsewhere
This CC pool system is essential for many growers and distributors who depend on auctions and international exchanges – it’s a tried-and-true, reliable network for moving plants efficiently. However, that convenience comes at a price: ongoing rental fees and pool management costs. Why pay expensive rent if your business doesn’t need to? For growers who don’t fully utilize the CC pool or auction exchange, there is a smart, cost-effective alternative available.
DC Containers: A Smart, Cost-Effective Supplement
A standard Danish trolley (DC container) with adjustable shelves. These trolleys can be dismantled into a compact form, reducing space and transport costs.
DC containers – also known as Danish trolleys – are widely used around the world, they meet the specific handling requirements of the horticultural sector just like CC carts, providing sturdy mobile racks for potted plants, flowers, and more, the key difference is flexibility and cost: DC trolleys are not part of the CC pool system, so you’re not tied to one-for-one exchanges at auction depots
For Plant | Flower growers who deliver directly to clients or operate internationally outside the European pool, DC containers offer the same practical benefits without the ongoing pool fees.
How DC Containers Save You Money: By using DC trolleys, you avoid the annual pool rental charges and expensive deposits that come with CC systems. This doesn’t mean sacrificing quality or convenience. In fact, DC containers share many of the handy features of CC racks, while remaining more budget-friendly for independent use.
Here are some highlights:
- Height-adjustable shelves (plates) – Easily accommodate plants of different heights on the same cart
- Interchangeable posts in various sizes – Use extension rods of different heights to configure the trolley for light or heavy, tall or short loads
- Collapsible, space-saving design – Each DC container can be quickly taken apart into a fraction of its full-size
- Lower replacement value – Because they aren’t tied into a costly pool system, DC trolleys have a lower replacement cost than CC units
