Product description
Festool Systainer³ SYS3 M 187 Empty Storage & Transport Case
At a Glance: Professional 15.9 litre Systainer³ storage case with a 20 kg load capacity, T-LOC one-turn operation, additional front carrying handle and direct integration into compatible bott vario3 vehicle equipment. Supplied empty without a machine insert.
The Festool Systainer³ SYS3 M 187 brings workshop organisation, vehicle storage and jobsite mobility together in one exceptionally practical modular case. Developed jointly by Festool, TANOS and bott, the Systainer³ system allows tools, accessories and consumables to be neatly stored in the workshop and then transported securely to the place of use without reorganising everything into separate cases. The proven T-LOC operating element makes it possible to open, close and connect compatible Systainers with a single turn, while the additional front carrying handle allows the SYS3 M 187 to be carried comfortably close to the body. Its M-format footprint is compatible across the Systainer system, including previous Systainer generations, compatible Festool mobile dust extractors and numerous transport accessories. A special mounting interface also allows the case to be integrated directly into compatible bott vario3 vehicle equipment. With a useful 15.9 litre internal volume, 20 kg individual load capacity and 100 kg permitted lid load, the SYS3 M 187 is a strong and versatile storage solution for professional tools, accessories, consumables and workshop equipment.
Systainer³ – one storage system from workshop to vehicle to jobsite
The third-generation Systainer was created to reduce the need to repack tools whenever work moves away from the workshop. Festool, TANOS and bott developed the system together so compatible Systainer³ cases can be organised normally in the workshop, transported as a connected stack and integrated into suitable bott vario3 vehicle storage systems. The result is a modular storage concept designed around the daily workflow of professional tradespeople.

Extra Info
Extra Information
- What does SYS3 mean? SYS3 identifies Festool's third-generation Systainer storage system, developed with TANOS and bott for improved workshop, transport and vehicle integration.
- What does M mean? M identifies the standard Systainer³ footprint used by this family of cases.
- What does 187 mean? The number indicates the approximate external case height in millimetres. The SYS3 M 187 measures 187 mm high including its adjustable feet.
- What is T-LOC? T-LOC is Festool's central rotary operating element. A single control is used to close the case, open it and connect it to another compatible Systainer.
- Why a front carrying handle? In addition to the traditional top handle, the front handle allows the case to be carried vertically and closer to the body, which can be more comfortable in confined spaces or while moving several items.
- What is bott vario3? bott vario3 is a professional modular vehicle-storage system. Systainer³ was developed with bott so compatible cases can be integrated directly into suitable vehicle equipment.
- Can older Systainers still be used? Yes. Festool specifically designed Systainer³ to remain compatible with previous Systainer generations, allowing existing storage collections to continue working as one system.
- Can it connect to a dust extractor? Yes, compatible Festool mobile dust extractors can accept Systainers, allowing the extractor and tools to be moved together as an organised system.
- Is a machine insert included? No. Festool supplies the SYS3 M 187 without a machine insert, making it a versatile empty storage case.
- Why is the internal height smaller than 187 mm? The 187 mm figure is the complete external height. The internal compartment measures 146 mm high because the lid, base structure, feet and coupling system occupy part of the overall dimensions.
- Can the lid carry weight? Festool specifies a permitted lid load of up to 100 kg. This figure relates to the structural lid rating and should not be confused with the 20 kg maximum load carried inside the individual Systainer.
- Connected load capacity: Festool specifies 40 kg as the maximum connected load when Systainers are coupled together.
The difference between load capacity and lid load
The SYS3 M 187 has a rated internal load capacity of 20 kg. When compatible Systainers are connected together, Festool specifies a connected load capacity of 40 kg. The separate 100 kg permitted lid-load figure describes the strength of the lid itself and should not be interpreted as permission to fill the case with 100 kg of tools.
Pro Tips
- Use the label field to identify the contents of each Systainer rather than repeatedly opening cases to find the correct one.
- Group accessories by task. For example, one SYS3 M 187 can hold routing accessories while another carries installation hardware or sanding consumables.
- Keep heavier items toward the bottom of a connected Systainer stack to improve stability during transport.
- Do not exceed the 20 kg individual load rating even though the lid itself has a much higher permitted load.
- When building a connected stack, keep the total connected load within Festool's specified 40 kg rating.
- Check that each T-LOC connection has engaged properly before lifting or moving a stack.
- The empty interior makes the SYS3 M 187 ideal for custom foam, dividers or user-made inserts where specialised storage is required.
- Leave sufficient clearance around delicate equipment when creating a custom insert so tools are not compressed when the lid closes.
- For frequently used tools, position the Systainer where its lid can be opened without first disconnecting it from the rest of the stack.
- Keep the coupling surfaces and T-LOC area free of heavy dust and debris so cases continue to connect smoothly.
- Use the integrated locking facility when additional protection against casual access is required during transport or storage.
- Periodically inspect handles, hinges, T-LOC components and the case shell if the Systainer is used heavily on construction sites.
How to Use
- Decide what tools, accessories or consumables will be stored in the SYS3 M 187.
- Fit any suitable optional insert, foam or organisational accessory if required.
- Arrange heavier items low and centrally inside the case for balanced carrying.
- Keep the total contents within the specified 20 kg load capacity.
- Close the lid fully and rotate the T-LOC control into the closed position.
- To connect another compatible Systainer, position the cases correctly together and operate the T-LOC control until the connection is securely engaged.
- Check the connection before lifting or transporting a coupled stack.
- Use either the top handle or the additional front handle depending on the carrying position required.
- When using a compatible Festool mobile dust extractor, mount the Systainer according to the extractor's operating instructions.
- For bott vario3 installation, insert the SYS3 M 187 into the compatible vehicle holder according to the bott system instructions.
- Use the front label field to identify the Systainer contents clearly.
- Clean the case and coupling points periodically so the lid, T-LOC and stacking interfaces continue to operate correctly.
Safety
Safety
- Do not exceed the specified 20 kg individual load capacity of the SYS3 M 187.
- When transporting connected Systainers, observe the specified 40 kg connected load capacity.
- Make sure the T-LOC coupling is fully engaged before lifting or transporting connected Systainers.
- Do not carry a connected stack by a handle unless the complete combination is within Festool's permitted loading limits.
- Place heavier Systainers at the bottom of a stack wherever practical to improve stability.
- Make sure tools with sharp cutting edges are safely covered or secured before placing them inside the Systainer.
- Secure loose heavy equipment so it cannot move violently inside the case during transport.
- Do not use a damaged handle, hinge, T-LOC mechanism or severely cracked case for transporting heavy equipment.
- When transporting the Systainer in a vehicle, secure it using an approved vehicle-storage or restraint system.
- Use only compatible mounting points when integrating the case into bott vario3 or another transport system.
- The 100 kg permitted lid load is a structural lid rating and does not increase the 20 kg internal carrying capacity.
- Keep the case closed during transport to prevent tools or accessories from escaping during sudden vehicle movement.
- Follow the Festool instructions for Systainer connection, transportation and compatible system accessories.
