Discoverer® Core Trays - Durable Plastic Solutions for Geologists

Northern Geological Supplies are proud to offer the Discoverer® S3 Recycled Plastic Core Trays. Trusted by geologists worldwide since 1993, Discoverer® Core Trays are widely regarded as the leading solution for storing and transporting drill core.

Why Choose Discoverer® Core Trays?

Our plastic core trays are designed for both field and lab use. They combine durability with smart features that make core logging easier and more efficient.

• Durable plastic core trays built to withstand tough mining conditions.
• Flat-bottom design and higher channel depth stabilise even fragmented core.
• Patented flat base ensures smooth movement on roller racking or ball transfer tables.
• Stackable design allows different sizes (PQ, HQ, NQ) to sit securely without disturbing core below.

The unique design of these core sample trays allows for effortless stacking, making storage and transport simple, even when core barrel sizes change mid-drill.

Easy Handling and Secure Grip

Handling heavy core has never been easier. The 360° continuous grip bar provides a comfortable hold from any angle, making lifting, moving, and loading trays effortless. Generously sized and ergonomically designed, it suits all hand sizes and users.

Whether moving trays along roller racking or loading them onto vehicles, these plastic core trays ensure a secure grip while protecting your valuable core.

Clear Logging and Organised Storage

Each Discoverer® Core Tray features a bold 'START' indicator to guide drillers and reduce logging errors. Clip-in core markers are colour coded and etched for note-taking, helping geologists maintain accurate records.

• Drainage holes at both ends to keep cores dry during storage.
• Built-in ID tag holders on the front and side of each tray for permanent record keeping.
• Patented interlocking bracing to maintain strength and rigidity along the tray's length.
• Optional Discoverer® Locking Links for stabilising pallets of core without metal strapping.

Protect Your Core with Durable Lids

Discoverer® plastic lids and lid clips safeguard your core from dust, moisture, and UV exposure. Made from durable UV-resistant plastic, these lids can withstand harsh mine conditions and prolonged sun exposure.

Each tray holds one metre of core per row, helping geologists maintain consistent logging practices while reducing the number of trays required.
