This technique works very well and it also causes the tote to end up positioned (most of the time) in a perfect position to receive a 2nd tote right on top of the first. I had a streak of 3-4 drops where I sent the first out with this method and the second landed perfectly on top
With practice it shouldn't take any longer then just lifting the door and letting it go.

To answer your question we also used HDPE for the bottom of the slide.
