UCP Core Trays - Schedule Update

Following an impressive first year of sales and supply of UCP core trays. Within both the UK and Europe on various mineral exploration drilling projects. We are pleased to announce that our second container of core trays set sail in early October. We expect the container to arrive early to mid-November at our logistics warehouse in Westhoughton.

 

There, the container will be de-vanned and inventoried before being racked. Note, that we have already received pre-orders for a fair amount of trays upon their arrival. If you wish to reserve your stock, please get in touch with us at your earliest convenience.

Why Choose UCP Core Trays?

UCP core trays, (Unique Core Tray Products), means just that. A unique core tray design which entered the market in the early 2010’s. Designed by Grant Wilson. (Managing director of UCP) and produced by his company in South Africa.

 

These core trays offer a host of benefits over others, including an ergonomic design, reductions on shipping costs, strong and robust and more.

Benefits of UCP Core Trays are as follows:

  • Snap lock design feature, requiring no tools to put together. While simultaneously decreasing storage space required for trays not currently in use.
  • Zincalume metal body which is rust and corrosion proof. Strong and robust for site use.
  • Nesting capability when not assembled reducing overall costs and transport costs.
  • Stacking capability when assembled, keeping samples in the tray below safe.
  • Drainage holes located at the edges and pointing outwards. To prevent cross-contamination.

UCP Accessories

UCP also produces a number of add-ons and accessories which exploration geologists can use in conjunction with their trays. Making tasks easier and increasing site efficiency and data accuracy. These items include:

  • Storage pods – securely store your core trays and assets in purpose built storage pods for long term storage or transport.
  •  Camera cradle – Use a UCP smart phone camera cradle to easily take a photograph of a core log. Which you can then later upload to ScanIt core logging software
  • ScanIt core logging software – Import core log photos taking on site or in the core shed to process, analysis, digitise and produce data to export for geological reports.
