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.
