The other half of the clip.

[-woodsman-]

I propose Fes make a mountable version of the male half of the clip.  Recently I was finishing timbers in a very confined space and there where no surfaces to put anything on. so I used a Tainer stack on a dolly to move around the can of pine tar.  If there was or I could have made a tray that clipped into the top of the stack there would have been less clean up.  I was also hoping for a cup holder (I had no place to put my coffee) witch made me think of a saddle bags.  Any way if you could buy the male half of the clips the possibility are endless.  What would you make?

I'm a timberframer and coffee drinker myself, but you are slinging some cryptic lingo there, partner.
Care to rephrase that?

Rather than make "a mountable version of the male half of the clip" as you suggest, you can simply make a plate the size of a Systainer's footprint that includes those tabs.  Several members have made 'plates' like this to mount a cyclone on their CT extractors.  You could use the same to make whatever you are wanting to clip onto the top of a stack of Systainers. 

Another option is to use an empty Systainer on the top of your stack to hold whatever you need.  I keep a Systainer 1 at the top of a stack of Systainers attached to a Systainer Cart as a place to set the tool I'm using -- you could easily outfit the Sytainer to include a cupholder or whatever you desire...

Or maybe one of these

I have a broken #1 I'm thinking of doing just that like the dust devil crowd did.

I would like to see some kind of flat base plate with "male clips" that I can mount to the floor of my work van to secure my stacks of systainers. Maybe something like the rubber retainers on a systainer dolly would do it.

Me too.  Whilst waiting hopefully for Tanos to come up with it, I use non slip matting on the plywood floor of my van to stop things sliding around, but a tall stack can topple over.
