Product description
Festool Systainer³ SYS3 M 137 Storage and Transport Case
At a Glance: Compact 10.4 litre Systainer³ for organised storage and transportation of hand tools, consumables and accessories. The SYS3 M 137 combines a 20 kg individual load capacity, 40 kg connected load capacity, 100 kg permitted lid load, T-LOC one-handed operation, an additional front carrying handle and full compatibility with the wider Festool Systainer system.
The Festool SYS3 M 137 is a compact professional Systainer³ designed to keep hand tools, consumables and accessories organised, protected and easy to transport between the workshop, vehicle and construction site. Developed jointly by Festool, TANOS and bott, the Systainer³ generation combines Festool's familiar modular storage concept with direct integration into suitable bott vario3 vehicle equipment. The proven T-LOC operating element allows the case to be opened, closed and connected in a single movement, while an additional front carrying handle makes the Systainer comfortable to carry close to the body. With external dimensions of 396 x 296 x 137 mm, internal dimensions of 389 x 275 x 96 mm and a useful 10.4 litre volume, the SYS3 M 137 offers compact but practical storage for everyday workshop and site equipment. It can be connected to other Systainer³ units, previous Systainer generations, compatible transport systems and suitable Festool mobile dust extractors.
The Systainer³ system is built around one idea: tools and accessories should remain organised from workshop storage through vehicle transport to the actual place of use. The SYS3 M 137 uses the standard M footprint, allowing it to form part of a modular stack while providing a compact 137 mm external height.

- What does M mean? M identifies the standard medium Systainer³ footprint used by this model.
- What does 137 mean? 137 identifies the Systainer's nominal external height class. Festool specifies the actual dimensions with adjustable legs as 396 x 296 x 137 mm.
- How much storage space is available? The SYS3 M 137 provides an internal volume of 10.4 litres.
- What are the internal dimensions? Festool specifies an internal usable space of 389 x 275 x 96 mm.
- What is the individual load capacity? The Systainer is rated for a load of up to 20 kg.
- What is the connected load capacity? Festool specifies a maximum connected load capacity of 40 kg.
- How much load can the lid support? Festool specifies a permitted lid load of up to 100 kg.
- What is T-LOC? T-LOC is the central rotary control used to open, close and connect compatible Festool Systainers.
- Can the case be opened while connected? Yes. Festool states that Systainer³ contents remain accessible without first disconnecting the unit from a compatible stack.
- Can older Systainers connect to it? Yes. Systainer³ is designed to connect with previous Festool Systainer generations.
- Can it connect to a Festool dust extractor? Yes, provided the mobile dust extractor has the appropriate compatible Systainer connection.
- Can it be used in a work vehicle? Yes. The Systainer³ housing is designed for direct integration into suitable bott vario3 vehicle equipment.
- Does it include a machine insert? No. The SYS3 M 137 is supplied without a machine-specific insert, leaving the interior available for flexible storage.
Systainer³ was developed by Festool, TANOS and bott as a connected mobility system. A Systainer can therefore be used to organise equipment in the workshop, integrated into suitable vehicle storage and then carried directly to the place of use without repacking the contents into another container.
The front T-LOC control combines several functions into one rotary operating element. It closes the Systainer securely, releases the lid when access is required and connects compatible Systainers together. Importantly, the contents remain accessible while the Systainer is connected within a compatible stack.
The SYS3 M 137 occupies the same standard 396 x 296 mm footprint as other M-size Systainers but keeps the overall height to 137 mm. This makes it particularly useful for tools and consumables that require more capacity than the shallow SYS3 M 112 while avoiding the additional height of larger Systainers.
The 20 kg load capacity refers to the permitted contents of an individual Systainer. Festool specifies a 40 kg connected load capacity for the linked system and a separate 100 kg permitted lid load. These ratings describe different loading conditions and should not be treated as interchangeable carrying capacities.
Pro Tips
- Use the SYS3 M 137 for smaller tools and accessories that do not require the height of a larger Systainer.
- Add an appropriate Festool insert or custom organiser where small components need to remain separated.
- Label the front field clearly so the contents can be identified without opening several Systainers.
- Group related tools and consumables together so each Systainer represents a complete task or workflow.
- Keep frequently used equipment near the top of a Systainer stack for faster access.
- Take advantage of the ability to open the case while connected instead of repeatedly dismantling the complete stack.
- Use the front handle when carrying the Systainer close to your body and the top handle where that is more convenient for the load.
- Keep the T-LOC and connecting surfaces free from packed dust and debris so the mechanism operates smoothly.
- Do not exceed the specified 20 kg individual load even though the lid itself has a much higher permitted load rating.
- Use suitable Festool transport equipment when moving a larger stack of loaded Systainers.
- If the case is used in a vehicle, secure it using the appropriate compatible storage or restraint system.
- Periodically check the handles, T-LOC mechanism, hinges and connecting points for damage when the Systainer is used heavily on site.
How to Use
- Decide which tools, consumables or accessories will be stored in the SYS3 M 137.
- Add a suitable internal organiser or insert where required for the chosen contents.
- Place equipment inside while keeping the total load within the specified 20 kg capacity.
- Make sure no item projects above the case or interferes with the lid.
- Close the lid and rotate the T-LOC into the locked position.
- Insert a label into the front label field so the contents can be identified easily.
- To connect another compatible Systainer, correctly align the cases and operate the T-LOC connection as intended.
- Check that connected Systainers are securely coupled before attempting to move the stack.
- Use compatible Festool transport equipment for larger stacks where appropriate.
- For vehicle use, install the Systainer into suitable bott vario3 equipment using the corresponding mounting system.
- When access is required, operate the T-LOC to open the Systainer; compatible units do not have to be disconnected first.
- After use, return tools and accessories to the case and close the T-LOC before transport or storage.
Safety
Care and Safe Use
- Do not exceed the specified 20 kg individual load capacity.
- Observe the specified 40 kg connected load capacity when transporting connected Systainers.
- Do not exceed the permitted 100 kg lid load.
- Make sure the T-LOC is fully engaged before carrying or transporting the Systainer.
- Confirm that connected Systainers are securely coupled before moving a stack.
- Distribute heavy contents evenly where practical to maintain stable handling.
- Do not carry a Systainer by a damaged handle or use a case with cracked structural components.
- Keep hinges, T-LOC components and connecting surfaces free from packed dirt and debris.
- Do not force the lid closed if tools or accessories are obstructing the sealing surfaces.
- Use suitable transport equipment for heavy or tall Systainer stacks.
- Secure Systainers appropriately during vehicle transportation.
- Use the integrated locking provision where additional content security is required.
- Periodically inspect the case, handles, hinges and connection points when used regularly in demanding site conditions.
