SYS-PH on standard SYS 2 box

[CADru]

In my search for gen 2 systainer leftovers I recently acquired a SYS 2 systainer with SYS-PH embossed on the lid rather than the usual Systainer T-LOC logo that I am used to seeing. I do see this SYS-PH phrase listed in relation to the SYS-PowerHub (which actually shows the usual logo) but the systainer I have is a standard SYS 2 box.

Curious to know why, …anyone?

Someone probably swapped the lids.

This ^^^^^^

I just checked my Powerhub to be sure.

Looks like we have a winner  [big grin] Thanks Garry!

I originally did do an internet search for the SYS-PowerHub finding this item on a festool.com website but no SYS-PH on the lids. With Garry's reply in mind I decided to do an image search using: festool sys-ph and found a Systainer with the SYS-PH embossed on the lid. Google translate identified the website language (where I found the image) as Croatian.

Now that I think of it, similar to the SYS-MFT Systainer lid logo but, that is clearly a visibly different lid.

It is likely the older/original SYS-PH used a different lid in some detail. Or possible some employee offered/decided to make a production run with a modified lid mold to give it some oomph.

Think of it like an old mold, about to be scrapped, is modified with a different label and used for a few manuf. runs to give the SYS-PHs some "special" feel. It is a unique product so was possibly a pet project of someone at TANOS. Once the modified mold is worn out, new mold is not made and standard lids are used.

Either way, OP can be happy he got a collector's systainer. Were there such a thing.
