I'm not sure what you mean by "flows into a stack." Our lift engages with totes and RCs through a "contour gauge" made up of about 20 3" long 10-32 machine screws, 20 springs, 20 nuts, and a length of 1-1/4" c-channel. The sprung bolts allow us to automatically conform to the tote geometry and engage on the long side just about anywhere, though we hope to be consistent enough at alignment that we could have used a less flexible "hand".
To pull totes from the step, we believe we can make enough contact under the deep tongues (see arrow in attached picture) to lift the totes a fraction of an inch and drag them over the lip, onto the floor on our side of the field. Once we've pulled several down, we'll continue with our usual side lift. We should know for sure in another week or two; building a step is not high on our priority list.
