All my kit is in Makita 'classic' and Festool T-Loc systainers and I'm frustrated by having to stack Makita's below the Festool's.
Is anyone aware of a gadget or hack to get around this?  Being able to stack the Makita's above the Festool's would be awesome.
I really don't want to replace all my Makita systainers (££££) but am getting increasingly frustrated by the issue.  I use my tools professionally as well as for DIY so it can be a daily annoyance.
Thanks.

There do exist some adapter plates that fit multiple different boxes. I recently took a look at some made by the Germany company Allit, but didn't buy any. Their footprint tends to be bigger too. I don't even think they accomplish what you want.

The feet of 'classic' systainers don't 'hook' into the lid of the box below and they lack the 'nob' the T-loc requires.
 
Just make separate stacks, but it it won’t  make any difference. It’s no less frustrating wanting a tool in a Makita (classic Sys) at the bottom of the stack than it is when it’s under a few SysT’s. Once you realize the difference dealing with a a stack of T’s vs. Classics (Makitas) you be more motivated to upgrade from the Makitas.
 
Thanks both.
For context I want to make an 'EDC' stack based on a SYS-Roll.
It will be 2x 3 drawer sortainers at the bottom, containing hand tools and fixings respectively, with my SDS and extractor in a Type 4 classic above and my combi and drill bits in a Type 2 Classic on top.

Maybe think more like Sysport rather than Sysroll? Kind of a self built combination. You could make a Sysport style tower and still have bigger wheels and a handle to tilt and roll it. Then any Systainer could be accessed at any time, since they are not stacked/attached to each other.
 
Surprised someone never came up with a hack, or 3D printed thingy. 
The sys port is a bit OTT for what I want.
