Planex on the left (210mm height), Leakyroof's empty Maxi on the right (157.5mm height). According to the Tanos web site the 210mm is a Maxi III & the 157.5mm is a Maxi II. Festool USA catalog lists the height of the Maxi as 210mm.

The MAXI I have is 210 and the images I first posted show that. I now have to look at the Festool Site to check if anything has changed.... as I was under the understanding that there was only one Festool MAXI...
More as I learn it.
Cheers,
Steve

Steve:
I just compared an empty Festool Maxi Systainer to a Maxi holding a Planex and they are the same, 210 mm.
I have no idea where the Festool Shorti Maxi pictured above came from. I'm extremely interested, however...
Is this possibly a Latchi Switcherooni?

Leakyroof here, owner of the Maxi 2. Apparently I own a Maxi 2, and the Planex comes in a Maxi 3. Maxi 3 is also available by itself through Festool. My Maxi 2 seems to no longer be offered by Festool,but is available through Tanos dealer network. See what DUST we all kicked up with this thread [big grin] [big grin] [big grin] [embarassed]Tom Bellemare said:
My local dealer, the one I bought both my Maxi Sys and my Shinex from, doesn't know how long this "Shorty" Maxi as you're calling it was sitting on their shelf before I bought it... [blink]

I almost forgot, here's another use for a Sys Maxi...

That's the Planex Harness kit to aid when reaching.

Just in case it is of any help in my old Festool catalog it lists the following for SYS MAXI (LxWxH) 590 x 390 x 210 and SYS MAXI 2.. 590 x 390 x 157.5 both still available in UK I believe
The MODS ripped out out a few comments that lead to a few posts about FastCap tape measures that I used to measure the inside dimensions in this post.
I'm hoping that I can some how provide you a link to that thread after it gets cleaned up as the cut messed up it context.

I bought the Maxi's for my Syncro Westy camper--my wife and daughter and I each have one instead of suitcases. They're roomy! All camping supplies are in Festool boxes, for easy packing. We sit on the tall ones around the campfire. I only wish I'd waited for the T lock system.
