Mid-Atlantic Nursery Trade Show

January 7–9, 2026 | Baltimore Convention Center

Booth 1420 | Baltimore, MD


TUFX exhibited at the Mid-Atlantic Nursery Trade Show (MANTS), one of the horticulture industry’s largest and most influential B2B trade shows. Each January, thousands of green industry professionals gather at MANTS to connect, source products, discover new solutions, and build lasting business relationships - making it a true marketplace where the industry moves forward together.


At MANTS 2026, the TUFX booth was active throughout the show, drawing strong interest from nursery operators, landscapers, contractors, and distributors. Our distinctive orange poly trays paired with bright zinc one-piece frames stood out on the show floor, creating a highly visible and engaging display. The combination of a great team, strong products, and an energetic crowd made for a stellar and memorable event.

• High-gauge steel tube construction

• Bright zinc galvanization or powder coating for long-term protection

High-Impact & Abrasion-Resistant Trays

Optimized geometry maximizes both stationary loading and in-motion carrying capacity.

• Virgin poly trays with unmatched yield point and elastic deformation range

• High-gauge steel tray options offering exceptional hardness and high-temperature tolerance

• Ribbed undercarriage to distribute and dissipate heavy loads

Frame & Tray Connection Reinforcement

Designed to enhance stability, handling, and long-term durability.

• Adjustable front support bracket to adapt to different trays on the same frame

• Rotational back brace that supports the rear tray edge under varying loads

• XX undercarriage brace to resist impact and pitch forces
