Re: Has anyone tested out the viability of using hooks to lift totes?

During Ri3D with our hook mechanism we intentionally beat up the totes by adding a bunch of weight to them and driving around. No this isn't the same as a regional event, but I would say there shouldn't be a great concern over the durability of the totes. Ours were just fine.
