Anyway, if they have the battery to put at the back and 30+ pounds, they shouldn't have any trouble carrying up to 4 totes (assuming they're not geared to high and don't spin quickly).

Oh certainly. Its quite possible to design for even 6 totes with this design, I was simply pointing out that every bit helps.
