Dumb question on systainers lids

[RobWoodCutter]

I am making a cabinet for the Kapex with infeed/outfeed extension (14' long) with drawers below for holding the festool systainers and supplies. Each drawer will be big enough for four systainers per drawer (two in front/two in back). The drawers would be full extension.

I would like to be able to remove the lids from the systainers, but can't see a way without breaking something. Is there any way to remove them?
I could just take the inserts out of them and put a divider in the drawing, but would prefer to remove the lids.

Thanks.

Rob

I have shown how to remove the lid in the thread: http://festoolownersgroup.com/festool-how-to/installing-the-3-sided-lid-insert-on-a-systainer/

Just find something to push , pull, pry the hinge pins out. They may get deformed a bit but can generally be reused anyway. Sometimes the pins are really tight othertimes they will pop right out.

Thanks. With 19 boxes to remove the lids from, I should be an expert when I finally get all of them done 8). Rob
