I really like the ramp idea. How much have you prototyped that/ how well does it work?

Thanks. To answer your question - not at all. It's on the to-do list. We have some .25" clear acrylic laying around and will try this soon. We may have to put a single driven wheel at the bottom corner of the ramp to prevent totes from leaning against us rather than sliding off at the end. The downside of the ramp idea is that if we're feeding totes to the field, we're not stacking...

The plan is to put hefty weights in the back. Probably around 25lbs, maybe more depending on testing. The material is aluminum t-slot. It should be fine but we'll probably move the support a bit higher. Either way, we don't plan to lift more than 3 totes or 2 totes/1 bin if hooked from the long edge OR 2 totes or 1 tote/1 bin if hooked from the short edge.
Thanks for all the replies!
