You will already be anchoring your carriage so doesn't seem to be too big of a deal, would even look at having it build into how it attaches to your carriage.
Second, I would put a cross support. Doesn't have to be directly on uppers but maybe on the angled back support braces.
Lastly, I love the ramp idea. I would look into seeing how you can stack them quick from the human loader station. Maybe by having a ramp with pistons on bottom that let one slide to floor then it raises up enough to clear first tote and slides the second tote right on top. I know our team will be looking for those robots that can make quick pre stacks.
