We're thinking about this and figure atleast 5 totes, maybe 6 with this system. If your mentor is thinking 4, it's probably because he figures the crates will hang down thanks to the handle location and sloped sides. Then you have to lift each crate higher to fit the next one underneath. There's no good reason you have to let the crates hang down, though. If you're putting a bunch of hooks on a chain, add a (wide) bumper below each hook to level out each crate. Or a bigger bumper to tilt them up, even.
