The Discoverer® S2 range of core trays / boxes is a model that truly 'stacks and nests', a unique feature within the industry. This unique feature means that the trays can nest neatly inside of each other when being shipped empty, leading to significant savings in freight, and perfect when being shipped internationally. Yet when filled with core on site they simply stack on top of each other without the tray above touching the core in the tray below, such is the patent design.
This S2 model has long been an industry favourite and many will recognise it from mine sites globally as it's our leading export product with whole shipping containers being regularly shipped all over the world to some of the remotest and largest mining operations.

Does a Recycled Plastic Core Tray last as long as a Virgin Plastic Core Tray?
The answer:

When Discoverer® made the switch to manufacturing the Core Trays from repurposed Australian Kerbside Recycling, Dynamics needed assurance that this product would last just as long as our original Virgin Plastic Tray that has been proven in the elements since 1993.
Following a robust QC Testing Process, by Australia's pre-eminent NATA & ISO Accredited Plastics Lab ExcelPlas, Discoverer® is the only Core Tray on the global market that has undergone this rigorous independent testing.
By using Discoverer®, you're looking after the Earth while drilling the Earth.
