Re: Has anyone tested out the viability of using hooks to lift totes?
Sure... it works great. We plan to use rollers (bearings) rolling along either side of a 1" square tube to do the guiding of the hooks. We prototyped this today and there's no problems that we could see.
We laser cut our hooks from 1/4" baltic birch plywood, using a narrow 7/32" wide hook, and no breakage even when bouncing it in different directions.
