Re: Do Totes Land Flat From Feeder Station?

I agree with Wayne that the chute design is on the cusp between landing on end and landing flat, with a slight bias towards landing on end. But, I expect this to vary somewhat from chute to chute.

Our chute is as close as possible to the official design (correct height and angle, HDPE floor, aluminum angle, lexan door, being operated on carpet) and our totes nearly always land on end.

If you expect all totes to land flat, you're gonna have a bad time.
