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.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eSystainer³ – one storage system from workshop to vehicle to jobsite\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe third-generation Systainer was created to reduce the need to repack tools whenever work moves away from the workshop.

A single control is used to close the case, open it and connect it to another compatible Systainer.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy a front carrying handle?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is bott vario3?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan older Systainers still be used?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Festool specifically designed Systainer³ to remain compatible with previous Systainer generations, allowing existing storage collections to continue working as one system.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan it connect to a dust extractor?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, compatible Festool mobile dust extractors can accept Systainers, allowing the extractor and tools to be moved together as an organised system.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs a machine insert included?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Festool supplies the SYS3 M 187 without a machine insert, making it a versatile empty storage case.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the internal height smaller than 187 mm?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan the lid carry weight?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnected load capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Festool specifies 40 kg as the maximum connected load when Systainers are coupled together.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eThe difference between load capacity and lid load\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c!-- Pro Tip --\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"tip-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003ch4\u003ePro Tips\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n  \u003cul\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eUse the label field to identify the contents of each Systainer rather than repeatedly opening cases to find the correct one.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eGroup accessories by task. For example, one SYS3 M 187 can hold routing accessories while another carries installation hardware or sanding consumables.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eKeep heavier items toward the bottom

user-made inserts where specialised storage is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eLeave sufficient clearance around delicate equipment when creating a custom insert so tools are not compressed when the lid closes.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eFor frequently used tools, position the Systainer where its lid can be opened without first disconnecting it from the rest of the
