How do you fit 5 mini's into a Systainer III

[BJM9818]

I received a few more mini systainers from Bob last night, and since I had a Systainer III laying around, I was trying to get 5 to fit inside but I couldn't.  Does the small back plastic rail that hides the hinge pins have to be/can be removed?  I don't plan on storing them in a systainer but it would be nice to load and go if I had to.

Thanks

Brian,

Going from memory, I believe the go in on edge.  The ends of the mini go against the front/back of the Sys 3 and they stand on edge.

EDIT:  Here's a pic.  I searched for "systainer mini" in images.

Chris,

Yep that's the pic I remember seeing a while back.  I can get four in ok but it seems the "bump ins" that are created from the front latches prevent me from putting one next to the side walls of the systainer.  I'll take a pic tonight when I get home.  It's become one of those puzzles I just have to figure out [unsure]

That reinforcing piece probably does have to be removed so you can get them in and out.  It is not visible in the pictures above.

Hi,

Yes, the stiffener along the back edge needs to be removed. Festool Systainers have this, but those sold by Tanos directly do not.

See here for pics, how to, info, etc.--- http://www.talkfestool.com/vb/festool-tanos-all-things-systainer/2619-removing-systainer-stiffener.html
