will totes be damaged by repeated lifting?

Do we think the totes will hold up if lots of teams do this? Will the lifting handle break? Has anyone experienced failure of the totes from lifting in this way?

Any opinions on this will be welcome.

After what I would consider to be considerable use, the totes that The GreenHorns were lifting didn't have any structural issues with them. There was some cosmetic damage, but nothing serious.
