will totes be damaged by repeated lifting?

So I don't think that we will see that many damaged by lifting by the handle.

That doesn't mean they are being held cantilevered from the handle in those industrial applications.

I think lifting the totes by the handle will not break the totes much, there will be exceptions of coarse. What worries me more is teams running into the totes with the corner of there robot that does not have bumpers. Those sharp corners will break the totes pretty easy in my mind. Once that happens, what is the structural integrity of the tote going to be like?
