Re: Getting the Totes Right Side Up from the Chute Door

He was pretty good at it, I would say he got them right side up 80% of the time. Its really all about timing.

For me however, even 80% of the time wasn't reliable enough, so we ended up going with a ramp, but its up to you. Hope this helped!
is that legal though? i thought you were not suppose to use the chute door to slow down totes
